You are almost 7 months now. During my travel back home, it was a bit troublesome considering my body wanted a lot of things. Thank God, we came home safe and sound. I was bed rest for a week before I resumed my normal daily routines.
Here are some of the wonderful photos of mama and papa as we settled our life here in Philippines.
A pose from Gitagum after we visited Ate Zusie and a papaya as a simple token for the baby.
It already Christmas in our house! Mama and papa decorated the Christmas tree.
Cleaning the lawn is my favorite pastime. I love these ornamental plants.
Regarding my check up, I met already the doctors for you (my baby) and myself. I had talked them already the necessary things regarding my delivery and your surgery. We were advised had to prepare 250,000.00 php as gross for the said surgery. This is only for the team doctors excluding the hospital miscellaneous. Doctor Santiago, my OB-GYNE whose clinic was in Oro Doctors' Maternity Hospital quote us 50,000.00 php for her team alone during my cesarean delivery while the remaining value rest in you (200,000.00 php). Your neonatologist was Doctor James Absin and your pediatric surgeon was Doctor Tagayuna. We were so happy because Doctor Tagayuna committed to do the job and she never advised us to look for a pediatric gastro. (It was very shocking to us because we don't have doctors here in Cagayan de Oro Ccity speciallizing pedia gastro.)
The monetary amount was too big for us. Thanks for there were people willing to risk fund just for our safety. Indeed, we owe a lot from lola and lolo for their fervent support. We pray my dear Rus that your omphalocele will be easy to repair and it won't be too big. With God's blessings, there will no no complications that will follow upon your delivery in order we can go home earlier and we could cuddle you in our arms. We were always praying for you. We love you.
Yeepey! The package from Singapore arrived home at last! Mostly it was your stuff like the stroller, baby seater, sterilizer, a boxes of clothing, stuff toys, et cetera. We had prepared your personal belongings, too. Papa is busy planning your your wardrobe. It will be soon mounted in the wall. Your crib will be sponsored by lola. So excited for your arrival. We welcome you to the world my dear Rus!!
Most of the time, I could feel you kicking especially when we listen to music. Sometimes you followed to the rhythm of the music. It was a wonderful feeling. Their could be times that your kick is so painful that made me groan or you even pushed my bladder that made me stimulate to pass urine. I also read books for you, too. I really read aloud.Then, you kicked or sometimes I could feel the rumble inside. I always feel that you were very dynamic boy. Stay healthy and alert my active boy!
I will keep you posted next week for more updates.
