gabriel is finally out!
it was one super memorable experience. i can't forget everything that happened november 16th 2006 except the part where gabriel actually came out!
12:00mn: i woke up having a weird feeling of wetting my bed. i'm 27 years old, married and pregnant and i wet my bed?! haha. the words that first came out my mouth was "mom...". myCoco is on the night shift and i sleep with my mom since were kinda anticipating that our little gabriel will be out anytime soon and someone has to be always with me. my mom told me, i am about to give birth.. my water broke.
12:05am: when i finally realized that that was it, i called myCoco and asked him if he could come home to bring me to the hospital. i was calculating and thinking that he could be in cavite (where we live) from makati in about 40 minutes. he said ok, still relaxed (or trying to be) and he told me he'll just make a quick turn over of things at work. i think he left makati around 12:20am.
while waiting for dax, i got the video and the digital cameras. i made sure everything that we packed a few days ago won't be forgotten (which includes our baby's clothes and dax's coke light).
1:00am: myCoco was already home. almost all stuffs were already in the car before i went down. i told dax to be cool, we still have a lot of time. i know we do because there was NO PAIN at all. we were just worried that my water broke. i was even telling them that the doctors might just ask me to come home again and wait for a few more days.
1:15am: we were already at the hospital. i was asked to fill out a few forms and answer some questions. after a few minutes, they told me i will give birth TODAY if everything goes well (labor and all). they contacted my OB-GYN and they said she'll be in by 4am - i think not. they contacted my pediatrician, anesthesiologist and cardiologist as well. myCoco and mom was asked to get a room and i was brought to the labor room after an hour or so. they did some internal examination and told me that i was still at 1cm however, i have to give birth as soon as possible because my water already broke.
2:30am-6:00am at the labor room: still no pain here. i was thinking, if this is labor then it is easy. haha. i think they did something to induce labor by 6am.
7:00am-i don't know when: oh my good lord, IT WAS REALLY PAINFUL. whatever they did to me really worked and i was having contractions. i was crying and was about to ask the nurses to call for my mom and dax. i was so scared and i really felt bad cause i was alone. i heard somebody said i was at 3cm. i was having contractions every 5 mins, every 2 mins, every 3 mins. i was brought to the delivery room i think where they injected novane. they were telling me they cannot do epidural anaesthesia yet (i really don't know why). then i heard somebody say, maybe it's not at 3cm anymore because the pain it gives me was like actual labor (i think). then blah blah blah.. blah blah blah.. knockout! i woke up after a while, still dizzy with a blurred vision. i only recognized my OB-GYN telling me that i can do it. then.. knockout (i really didn't know what happened afterwards).
by the way, i was getting epidural anaesthesia since i have a mitral valve prolapse and according to my OB-GYN, she could not let me experience the pain of labor. what?! if what i experienced was not pain of labor yet.. then i can really say that i cannot experience the pain of labor.
3:30pm: i heard somebody said "mrs. solis.. ililipat na po kayo sa room nyo in a few minutes". i looked at her, touched my tummy and said "nanganak na ako?!" she said "opo".. i said "san na ang baby ko?" and she said, "nursery".. whew.. it was over.. and i don't know how gabriel came out.
it was a normal delivery and our little gabriel is healthy and doing well (me too!). he's 5.5lbs at 45cm. really really cute and he smells so nice!

working from home
do i really like to work from home? yes and no.
yes because i don't have to travel to makati all the way from cavite. i hate the heavy traffic. i hate waking up so early so i could leave the house at 6am. i hate driving - my tummy is really big now and i'm having a hard time with the wheel. i also hate not seeing myCoco while working.
no because it's so hard to work with my team using Yahoo!Messenger and emails. and since i get logged off by YM every now and then - it makes things worse. warks! and i hate not being able to join friday dinners with my college friends :(
in a few weeks, or maybe sooner than i expect, i might be required by my OB-GYN to just work from home or maybe take bed rest again. im getting a lot of braxton hicks contractions lately and it is really so uncomfortable. im on my 34th week and im expecting gabriel to be out in 6 weeks. really hope he waits for 6 more weeks.
work from home? yes. better than bed rest!

dax junior x2
this week has been dax's week.
after almost a month of finding a laptop for the computer perquisite, finally.. myCoCo was able to get hold of his acer aspire 5562. bpi madness will surely make you go crazy. it did make me crazy listening to dax's *pangungulit* - buying a laptop, going to glorietta, calling BPI to check my credit limit, etc etc... whew, i really thought it was over.. but after he got the unit, he started mentioning about getting accessories for it. so dax. good thing about it, he's not gonna use my laptop anymore :) that's junior 1.
now about the second junior.. yesterday, we were supposed to go to my OB-GYN for my monthly check-up. unfortunately, she wasn't around (again). *sayang for them* we were supposed to get a recommendation form for the 3D ultrasound that the hospital offers. we just decided to go to festival mall in alabang to check out the OB-GYN Ultrasound Center that also offers 3D/4D ultrasound procedure (this one's got live 4D motion)!
we waited for quite some time after we had lunch and then
finally it was my turn. i was kinda nervous about how our baby would look like.. if he/she was ok there inside and a lot of other things occupied my mind. dax called my mom so she can see as well and then we got a first glimpse of our little one! the doctor asked us if we already know the gender.. we said no. she moved the doppler a bit and there it was.. dax got his junior. nyahaha! according to them who were seeing the monitor in a better angle, our baby looks like dax. dax says little dax looks like his sister who looks like him).
our baby's got loonnng fingers.. we saw it clearly - his hand was covering his whole face on the first few minutes! dax had to talk to him so he would remove it for us to see how he looks like. he was also frowning at times - never smiled! could he be so *masungit* like me? we are oh-so-excited!

first week at RCBC
i'm backers after a super long absence from the blogging community.
today is my first week at GXS - my new office - and i don't have much stories about work yet. almost everything looks a lot like enterworks.. except that the place is bigger (*4). my workstation is greeny too and i brought along my Starbucks Bearista friends to keep me company since myCoco is now on the other side of the street. i also miss my laptop but my machine here looks neat anyway. i have my jerry yan calendar with me too! phone here is super cool and i have a whiteboard all for myself which is ultimate coolness (that's the white thingie on the right of my pc)! they gave me office supplies on my first day and they gave me my pc on my 3rd day (which means, i just read and read until i got my pc). washroom is just as nice.. i think they have unlimited supply of toilet paper! nyahahaha!
pantry here is cool as well. it's got a nice view of the world down there (as if 36th is super up there)! myCoco went here for lunch earlier and he was awed. i hope he could come over everyday for lunch and bring me Tapa King once in awhile but he'll be on graveyard shift starting Monday next week and will only be a sleeping-normal human being by december! *buti na lang* since our wedding will be on january. and by the way, pantry has unlimited paper towels! and what myCoco loved most was the coke vendo! i miss free pine-orange juice though.. even the iced tea that i only drink once in a blue moon.
oh wells, have to work again and be bibo. else..
weather now..

finding a dress ain't easy
aside from getting the right fit, right price and right style.. i need at least 4 days to find one! tomorrow will be one of our soon-to-be-ninongs 5oth birthday party and it took me 4 days to find what i will be wearing. i was hoping to find a nice dress.. but then.. i settled for the slacks-blouse thingie.. it's comfortable and i can wear each with something else. not cheap though. argh.. that's what happens when you don't have much time too look for something to wear (4 days ain't too much time).
sunday, i went to makati with my mom. we were at the mall right after hearing mass. we had lunch at sugarhouse (yep, they have rice meals and pasta.. i used to not know).. we started looking for the perfect dress. after a few hours without any luck, we ate again at mexicali.. didn't make my stomach satisfied though.. and we looked again until i found a skirt.. i bought it hoping i could find something to pair it up with.. demmits.. i didn't find one. but it's really nice! after more than 7 or 8 hours at the mall, we decided to go home.. frustrated and very tired.
the next day, my ever-so-patient-fiance, honeyCoco went to the mall with me. he loves to criticize the couches on every dress shop.. promise! that became his hobby since he always goes with me whenever i look for shoes or clothes. of course, i didn't find the right dress.

(yes, same thing.. went to the mall again and found nothing.. so i copied and pasted..)!
the next day, my ever-so-patient-fiance, honeyCoco went to the mall with me. he loves to criticize the couches on every dress shop.. promise! that became his hobby since he always goes with me whenever i look for shoes or clothes. of course, i DID find something. and that was the slacks-blouse thingie i was talking about. i DID find something because i have to. the party is tomorrow!
why is it hard for girls to find clothes?! because there's just too much options. unfair!
