I am 8 months pregnant today, 32 weeks along.  I am getting excited more each day, 56 days to go. Everything’s okay except that I was recently diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I  have my doctor appointment and also for the gestational diabetes next week. I am dreading to see the dietician. I hope all goes well because I don’t want to prick my fingers  and check my blood test everyday. (knock on wood). I know I have to be very careful and have my sugar monitored. I am willing to go on a food diet  and willing to try anything  just no to finger-pricks. I don’t like needles.

We were off to Sacramento for trick or treating last night. At first, we were hesitant to go to Zoo due to the weather, supposed to be rain later that night but it didn’t. I know the boo at the zoo event will happen rain or shine! We brought our umbrellas  just incase. As the weather sometimes iffy.We got there 4;15pm, It’s a good thing we bought our tickets online or else we have to fall in line twice, cause the line was pretty long. The event started at 4:30 to 8:30pm. Casey was very excited to do trick or treating. She said, Halloween is her favorite holiday —I wonder why (lol)

 We visited the haunted house, Casey rode their creepy carousel. She had a great time doing trick or treating. She got lots of  CANDIES. The boo at the zoo event is great for kids/ families. Kids can safely trick-or-treat around the lake at 17 different candy stations! We all had a fantastic night and made us decide to do this every year.

One evening, I was watching TV and my baby was nonstop moving , kicking poking and rolling, it feels like she do the gymnastic just to get my attention. Demand my attention already? LOL I turned the lamp shade on and grabbed my video so I can videotape my belly moves but she stopped moving, I noticed this a few times, she didn’t like the lamp shade on. I know according to parents.com article, my baby would react to the lights now.

At this stage, I would say, I have a pretty good appetite, it’s so good to eat all the time but having heart burn after eating  was not fun at all, so I have to slow down a little bit….

I had doctor appointment today and Dr. Akin suggested to limit my rice and if I can wait 2 1/2 months not to eat rice, then do so for the sake of the baby. I don’t think I can do it but to cut back/limit, I would say yes! I think I can do it. 2 1/2 months without rice, it’s not gonna happen.

2:20 am- I had a full glass of milk (obviously I am still awake. I couldn’t sleep. This could be because of my cappuccino I had yesterday and short nap in the afternoon. I read the pregnancy book hoping this will help me put to sleep. My eyes were tired and eventually nod off about 3:15am.

9:30 am- I woke up 15 minutes before 9am. I had a cup of nesquick chocolate and 2 crescent. 1 Banana and took my prenatal vitamins.

12:00pm – I had a plate of Ravioli/meatballs and Lucerne mixed berry smoothie for my lunch –full tummy!

4:10 pm – I had rice and milk fish again, a half glass of simply orange juice and apple pie for my dessert…drinking lots of water…water…water

Tuesday – 10/26-Food intake

8:13am- I had Yoplait strawberry yogurt and 1/2 banana with prenatal vitamins. (At 9am, we headed to Rosevile to make reservations for our upcoming Christmas party at Maidu Recreation Center), on the way home, I am feeling dizzy, have headache and feeling weak. I went straight to bed as soon as we got home, tummy was upset, I am guessing maybe I didn’t have my hot chocolate milk, I must have my chocolate milk and bread every mornings but decided to eat just yogurt and everything messed up so, Chris ended up fixing chocolate milk and 2 crescent for me and tummy was satisfied. Whoa! what’s in the chocolate milk that is so satisfying…

In these last few weeks, I’ve been over indulge on sugary foods and I really need to keep track on my diet. I feel guilty knowing I am pregnant and I am not sure if I am eating right. I made a decision to keep track on my food intake starting today.

Here’s my food intake:

8:30am- I had a half bowl of cereal with no milk

9:00 am- I had Lucerne strawberry smoothie

9:45am-I had scrambled egg, 1 glass of simply orange juice and 1 banana (and prenatal vitamins)

1:30 pm- I had rice, ginataang kalabasa, bicol express and 1/2 glass of simply orange juice and  also had slices/cubes of brownies for my dessert

5: 00 pm – A cup of cappuccino and 2 slice of bread (note: my first sip of cappuccino since I found out I am pregnant) I love cap, I’ve been a big  fan of cappucino -Caffee D’Vita”, it’s so difficult for me to resist the temptation when craving hits. Anyway, so, far I am good(I think) and less guilty especially when I read the label 99.7 % caffeine free.  I guess I’ll have to wait until the apple pie is out of the womb to drink again cappucino.

9:20pm – I had rice again and milk fish (paksiw) with bicol express. A glass of cranberry juice this time and 1 dove dark chocolate– lots of water and then milk before bed.

Okay, the clock says 11:27 pm and I’m still awake. Logging off now and soon… zzzzzzzzzzzz

We were off  to Williamson school for  the harvest festival on Friday, this is not so happy moments for the 3 of us. At first, Casey wasn’t behaving and did push my buttons to ruin all the fun. I completely and totally lost my cool but I managed to calm down eventually and went home happy – Not the best night we had though. I am not sure if just because of Casey or  because of the pregnancy emotions gone wild. Anyhow, she had butterfly tatoo and goodies from the festival and in the mood for the pictures after all the drama. ah, I wished she had fun.

…so happy to finally experience one of the most exciting journeys of pregnancy for the mom-to-be, called the ” baby shower”. It was just a wonderful experience. And a delightful treat. The friends and family that were there to help me celebrate the awaiting addition to our family. At that very moment, being surrounded with all my very supportive friends and family, was such a joy. I can’t put my thought into words about how happy and blessed I am. It was such overwhelming support. The food were great, the location was wonderful, and everything was just perfect! I had a great time – I am VERY happy! Thanks to Merlina, who planned everything for my baby shower. To Judy, thanks, your fruit stroller was awesome, to Raquel, thanks for always being there for me. You are such a big help. Devy, thank you for always willing to help. I really appreciate you guys for everything you’ve done. And to all who came to my baby shower – Thank you!
