hi everyone, i am new here. although i was backreading your posts for weeks now. it's my 17th week! my ultrasound is scheduled on july 22 to identify the gender. my first trimester was awfully bad. i even threw up on my plate (sorry if it's gross). i am so petite. thank God, i gained 5 pounds. i've been buying baby books from amazon and have been watching 16 and pregnant and a baby story for me to at least have an idea on what to expect. anyways, i hope there are some here who can guide me taking baby steps on pregnancy and becoming a mom soon. congrats to those who gave birth!

thanks frosty and somedaysomehow... i noticed today and yesterday, i am so sensitive to my partner's tone and way of speaking. i didn't like how he said "Good night" last night and today, I just cried all of a sudden when I said "Huh" in the car. I didn't hear what he said. Sabi nga sa Pilipinas ay bingi ang buntis hehehe.. but when he repeated what he said by yelling, I just cried.

sana may kasabayan din ako dito na buntis din, or if not.. hingi hingi na lang ako sainyo ng advise mga mothers. thanks sa pag-welcome po sa akin. good night.

Naku ganyan din ako dati, yung level ng tapururot ko ay to the max. I was very sensitive sa lahat ng bagay buti nalang asawa ko eh hinahabaan niya pasensya niya sa akin nung buntis pa ako..hehehehe..Hopefully your hubby will understand your situation and if you can help it, iwasan mo nalang or divert your attention to something else..Pero ewan ko ba,kapag buntis talaga sala sa init sala sa lamig ang feeling.. :rofl: :rofl:

Sana nga may kasabay ka kasi halos lahat ata ng buntis dito eh nanganak na...Good luck sa pagbubuntis mo.

@frostysoftyeaton, tama ka. super pinrangka ko ang partner ko na hindi ko gusto yung pagmumura nya sa loob ng sasakyan kapag hindi nya nagustuhan ang pag-drive ng iba and etc. sabi ko sa kanya, ang recipient ng mura at galit nya ay ako at ang baby namin. hindi yung kabilang driver. then later on naintindihan nya na baka hormones nga ang dahilan ng pagiging crayola ko. bumili na nga ng Everything Father-To-Be-Book, hindi pa naman nya binabasa. na-research ko kasi na start na ng hearing ng baby ngayong 17 weeks kaya iwas ako sa mga nakakagulat at nakakatakot na sound. every morning, trying hard akong makinig ng light classical music channel sa cox kasi nakakatulong daw. first time mom ako kya medyo praning. :help: thanks sa lahat ng makakatulong sa akin. appreciated ko po lahat. pagbasa ko pa lang nito ay madami na akong matututunan hehe.. God bless sa lahat lalo na sa adorable babies nyo. take care

salamat bmtrrbt, isa akong martir na guro dito sa isang public school. galing akong college and high school teacher sa pilipinas. pagdating ko dito ay pinili ko sa elementary para hindi ma-culture shock ang beauty ko. hay naku, nagkamali ako. grade 1 pa lang ay nambabato na ng chair sa teacher. yung kindergarten ay nagsasapakan sa bathroom. syempre, lahat ng bata ay marunong mag-curse. minsan nga hindi ko alam na nagmumura na pala ang student ko. haaaay, kaya if malapit ng pumasok sa school ang anak nyo (ang anak pala natin), super bantayan ng friends na din. and depende ring area kung saan kayo nakatira. extra TLC ang ibigay natin sa precious ones natin. mas maganda pa ring sa pilipinas mag-aaral ang bata kaso nandito ang mga asawa natin and ang mundo nila kaya alalay na lang. (L)

good morning sa lahat!

Hallowsss! hehe Sencya na po at sobrang di rin ako nakadalaw dito kasi naman busy ang beauty ng lola nyo LOL! I am helping my sis-in-law in preparing for our niece's baby shower and then next week eh start na ang room renovation para sa room ni Zac. Waaahhhh! Mahihiwalay na cya sa akin :cry:

Chinese, same tayo ng reason kaya hindi ko na rin nacontinue anf breastfeeding. Lakas kasi sa dede ni Zac kaya kada oras eh dede ng dede. Di na ako makatayo sa bed dahil puro pagpapadede na lang ginawa ko hehe. Gumamit din ako ng nipple shield na sinasabi mo dahil nagsugat yung nipples ko. Cute ng baby mo ha :luv:

Magnolia, Welcome sa thread na to :dance: Ang mga bata nga tlga dito ay hindi ganun ka disiplinado unlike sa Pinas. Kasi hinahayaan lang nila ng mga bata katwiran kasi nila ay bata pa sila eh dapat nga natututo na ng maaga ang mga bata ng discipline eh pra dalhin nila yun paglaki.

Sencya na po di ako mashado nakapagbackread kasi busy talaga me. Update lang, Zac will going to have his VCUG on the 22nd pra sa kidney nya. He seems like normal baby naman. When Zac was 6 months old, he weighed 18.12 lbs and ang height nya ay 28 inches. Sa 22 malalaman ko din kung gaano na binigat nya. Anyway, I am thinking of asking his Pedia to give him BCG kasi we are planning to go in PH. Asawa ko pilit kaming pinapauwi ni Zac lol! Ako naman yung ayaw ko pa, di naman sa ayaw kaya lang gusto ko next year na lang pra makasama ako sa reunion ng family dahil uuwi din yung mga relatives ko from London. Asawa ko kasi gusto nya makita na ng fam ko si Zac. Hay! next week apply na namin si Zac ng passport.

My son named Zac

hi everyone, i am new here. although i was backreading your posts for weeks now. it's my 17th week! my ultrasound is scheduled on july 22 to identify the gender. my first trimester was awfully bad. i even threw up on my plate (sorry if it's gross). i am so petite. thank God, i gained 5 pounds. i've been buying baby books from amazon and have been watching 16 and pregnant and a baby story for me to at least have an idea on what to expect. anyways, i hope there are some here who can guide me taking baby steps on pregnancy and becoming a mom soon. congrats to those who gave birth!

Congratulations! and welcome in this forum...

Good morning mga mommies:) Musta na ang mga baby? update ko lang baby ko, 4 month old na siya yesterday and 17.10 lbs na siya at 25.5 inc tall...tumanggap na din siya ng 5 shots and thankful ako kc di siya nagkafever, siguro nakatulong ung binigyan ko siya agad ng tylenol after ng shots niya, di tulad ng first niya na umabot ng 100.3 ang fever niya.

Welcome sa thread na ito Magnolia...teacher ka din pala sa atin, at dito din...ask lang me sa u kc govt. EGT ako sa atin din for 10 yrs, pero ala akong work now kc gusto kong pagtuunan muna ng oras ko baby ko hanggang mag 1 y.o na siya...anu-ano ba mga pinagdaanan mo b4 ka nakapagteach dito, nagpaevaluate na ako ng TOR ko last year kc. Share mo naman :) for me, mas maganda magteach dito ng grade 1 kasi kaya mo pa silang pagsabihan, di tulad ng middle grade at high school kc ang lalaki na nila, sa akin lang yan ha:) thnx.

hello lasvegas, dumaan po ako sa agency.. dami ko ngang nagastos pag-process. pero basically tingnan mo kung saang school board ka mag-aapply. madami kasi ditong mga evaluating agencies for our transcript yata like WES, AACRAO, Spantran, etc. then dun sa targeted ko na state, titingnan ko ang mga tests na kailangang i-take para ma-certify. check mo sa www.ets.org, then apply na siguro.

H1B visa pa lang ang visa ko kaya mgpapakasal pa kami ng fiance ko para mapalitan ang visa ko then maghahanap din ako ng ibang school districts or kahit private school ay aaplyan ko na. daming lay off sa public schools ngayon, all over the states. sana if ever maging stable ang job ng fiance ko ay maging dakilang ina muna ako sa baby namin hehe.. ok yan at naalagaan mo ang baby mo.

good luck sa future endeavors mo!

Ask ko na sana kung meron din palang agency dito sa US:) kc akala ko na dito ka na nakakuha ng teaching job. Di ko alam ang H-IB, pero may idea ako na parang working visa yan kc dumaan ka ng agency sa Pinas, kc karamihan dito ay nagpakasal muna b4 makakuha ng GC at makahanap naman ng work. Nacurious kc ako na ang dali mong nakakuha ng teaching job kc ang hirap hirap ngayon kc thousands ang nalalay off sa ngayon. Sa ACEI ako nagpaevaluate ng TOR ko..sigi, ingatz ka alwys lalo na ngayon na preggy ka, wag kang mahiyang mag ask dito kc di man ako mahilig magbigay ng advice or suggestions ay minuto lang meron ng sagot sa mga tanong mo dahil marami tayo dito.

Good luck din sa u and enjoy mo ang buhay pregnant, masaya na minsan ay nakakakaba:) God Bless!
