11th week
I’m on my 11′th week this week. I should start taking pictures of myself much like what Love is doing. Funny thing I noticed is my tummy is smaller in the morning and it’s totally full of acid and gas by the end of the day which is the worst time of the day for me. I’m not sure if my puking is still due to morning sickness or GERD because the nausea associated with morning sickness feels kinda different.
I have a hard time grasping the concept of small frequent meals. Frequent meals, no prob. Small? Hmm…
We already have a name in case it’s a boy - Luke Xavier. It’s a name I’ve always had way before I was pregnant. I wanted my boy to have the initials LXG. It would make for a good license plate. Hehe.
I had to stop working as a photography assistant. I also had to stop volunteering for the zoo which is sad because I just found out that they were planning to ask me to co-head the group I belong to. It would have been fun because I have this impression that the heads get to have more behind the scenes involvement.
Funny, the very first thing I did when I found out I was pregnant was to go online and look for an anti-stretch mark serum.
I know it’s genetic and odds are I’m still going to get them, but it’s still worth a try

Hi Noee, the small frequent meals — it’s kinda inconvenient since I got braces on. I could no longer eat a regular size meal coz if I do, I find it hard to breathe. Don’t worry, your body will tell you what you can or can’t do. Pregnancy is so fascinating to me as far as what is happening in my body.
As for the stretch mark creams, I would recommend Mama Mio. Yes, I’ve heard it’s genetic but i figured it won’t hurt. My mom has stretch marks on her belly and so far, I don’t see any on mine but then again, I am yet to grow the most this month. Yikes! Here’s what I use:

Love, pareho tayo ng gamit. I got the oil and the cream kasi sabi para sigurado i-layer daw yung oil then yung cream. I’m crossing my fingers and hoping I can avoid the stretch marks. Yun lang minsan nakakalimutan ko maglagay hehe.

I’ve been meaning to go back to the store and get the cream too but I haven’t yet. Pero I put on the cream 2x a day.
