bored na bored ako ngayon sa office. wala akong masyadong ginawa the whole day. wala kseng masyadong nangugulo ngayon sa amin (IT team). maybe it's because malapit na ang long weekend kaya medyo nasa vacation mode na din ang mga tao dito sa office. :))

kaya ayun, bigla tuloy ako nag palit ng blog skin. na inspire kse ako sa blog ni yax eh (hi yax!!). kaya i decided to change the skin of my blog na din kse medyo sawa na din ako. and i'm happy with how it turned out. :))

after i said to howell last week na i'm pregnant, he promised me nay may gift daw sya sa akin pagbalik ko from our team building. kinukulit ko nga sya kung ano yun, pero ayaw nya talaga sabihin. intayin ko na lang daw sa saturday pagdating ko.

aalis kami sa office ng friday papunta sa manila southwoods for our team building and saturday na balik namin. several hours before we leave, i received an email from howell. inattach nya yung picture ng gift nya sa akin, and guess what it is.

she's a female labrador retriever. 2 months old pa lang sya. jan 17 ang bday nya, so pareho namin sya ni howell na capricorn. her name is arcligth zeeba (yun kse yung niregister na name ng breeder na pinagbilhan ni howell) but we call her sassy. matagal na kse naming gusto ni howell na bumili ng aso. pero since medyo tigth pa din kami sa budget (since maraming gastos noong wedding), laging na po-postpone yung pagbili namin. kaya i really can't beleieve that Howell bougth me a puppy.

ang cute cute nga nya eh. sobrang favorite na favorite sya ng lahat ng tao sa bahay. parang sya nga ang first babay namin kse lahat ng attention nasa kanya. :))

when i first saw her pagdating ko from our team building, nahihiya pa sya sa akin. nakaupo lang sya sa isang sulok, quietly observing me. pero after ilang minutes ng pakikipga laro ko sa kanya, nag start na sya mangulit. gusto nya lagi may kalaro sya. she will grab my attention by pulling my pants and she will start jumping.

below are some of sassy's pictures:

sa monday pa sana ako mag papa chek up since hindi ako makapag leave from work. pero i'm really not feeling well since tuesday. para feeling ko nilalagnat ako pero when howell checked my temperature, 37 C lang naman ang temp ko. so sabi ng mom ko, mag absent na nga daw ako para makapa punta na din ako sa OB ko.

we went sa chinese general hospital sa OB ng mom ko. she did another pregnancy test and confirmed na nga that i'm pregnant. 6-7 weeks na daw yung baby based on my last menstruation and nov 7 ang expected date of delivery nya. (i really can't wait for that day to come). my OB presecribed some vitamins for me and my baby.

i had several tests. i also had the trans vaginal ultra sound (which is a little painful) to know the exact age of the baby. babalik ako for my next check up on april 2 and doon na din namin malalaman yung exact age ng baby namin.

10 days na akong delayed kaya nagpasama ako sa friend ko yesterday para bumili ng kit na pang test. saturday morning, nag check agad ako kse i'm really excited na. and i'm really happy kse positive sya. i immediatley went out of the bathroom para ipakita kay howell yung result. syempre hindi nya alam yung ibig sabihin pag 2 lines ang lumabas so ang una nyang nasabi is "ano yan, ano yan? postive ba yan?". i just smiled and doon nya naisip na positive nga.

sobrang happy nga nya. actually. we're both very happy. yun naman kse talaga ang plan namin eh. we'll immediately have kids rigth after the wedding. sa sobrang happy ni howell, sabi nya may surprise daw sya sa akin sa saturday (pagbalik ko from our team bldg).hmm, ano kayo yon?

pero syempre, medyo may takot din akong naramdaman. medyo nag a-adjust pa lang kse ako sa buhay may asawa, and this is a whole new responsibility. natatakot ako na baka hindi ko makaya ang responsibility ng pagiging isang magulang. pero i know, makakaya namin to ni howell.

after naming mag test, nagpunta na kami agad sa bahay namin (because our house is just near our parents house) to announce the good news. syempre lahat sila excited. unang apo kse nila to eh. then after announcing sa amin, tumawag naman si howell sa bahay nila para sabihin din ang good news.

it's just one happy day for all of us.

after sorting almost 2500 pictures, na upload ko na din sya sa webshots. although the resolution of some of the pictures is not that good beacuse i have to reduce the resolution for easy uploading sa webshots.
