Fun Way of Determining My Gender
And here's Why...
- Mom, are carrying the extra weight around the hips and bottom, so it's a girl.
- The hair on mom's legs is not growing any faster during her pregnancy, so it's a girl.
- Boys are carried low. Mom are going to have a boy.
- Sleeping in a bed with her pillow to the north indicates that mom will be having a boy.
- Mom's feet are not colder than they were before pregnancy. so it's a girl.
- The maternal grandmother doesn't have gray hair (dyed or natural), so a girl will be born.
- Mom didn't have morning sickness early in pregnancy, so it will be a boy.
- Mom is looking particularly good during pregnancy. Therefore, it must be a boy, because girls steal their mother's looks.
- Mom's chest development has been quite dramatic during pregnancy. Expect a girl.
- Since the sum of my mother's age at conception and the number of the month of conception is even, I will be a boy.
- Mom's urine is a bright neon yellow color, expect a a boy.
- Mom's nose hasn't changed during pregnancy, which indicates a girl.
- Your baby's heart rate is 140 or more beats per minute, so it's a girl.
- Mom is not having headaches, so it's a girl.
- Mom show them the palm of her hand, so it's a girl.
The result does not have any scientific proof so it is still best to know my gender by means of sonogram.
Have a nice weekend.

Placenta Previa
Mom, told her Ob-Gyne of the recent ultrasound which shows that she has a condition called Placenta Previa.
Placenta Previa is a condition where in the placenta is covering (complete or partial) the cervix. It occurs in 1 out 200 pregnancies and requires careful monitoring by the doctor.
However this condition may change throughout the duration of pregnancy and it will most likely correct itself, as the uterus grows the placenta gets further from the cervix.
- Heavy lifting
- Intercourse
- Strenuous activities
The doctor gave my mom an additional vitamin called Fortifer® an anti-anemic supplement that provide adequate amounts of iron and B-complex vitamins to prevent and treat anemia.
P.S.
Please always pray for our safety. May the placenta gets further from the cervix as it grows so that my mom will give birth normally.
Friends, see you soon!!

19th Week of My Development
For Mom:
If you have not looked into childbirth classes, now is the time to do so. Childbirth education is a great way of informing yourself about pregnancy, labor and birth.
For Dad:I know that you're composing a song for me. I'm excited to listen to the final version.
Friends, see you soon!

18th Week of My Development
I move most of the time now and give lots of punches and kicks with my hands and feet. My mom should almost certainly feel it this week.
Chest muscles develop further to allow breathing when born and the small cavities that will become fully working lungs begin to develop more rapidly into the final product.
Did know that this week I will master the art of sticking my tongue out? Amazing!!
