Say hello to my new do! :) Bagay ba?! I had to cut my hair short in preparation for ze motherhood. Well, actually it was Mila who told me that I should cut it so I can freely move about. But MY reason is – naglalagas kasi. They say it’s part of all these pregnancy hiatus. But I guess its okay. I feel light anyway.

Keeping this post short. I need to spend some quality time with the companion. I’m very sure that our lives would change once the lil’peanut is here. Baka mawalan na kami ng lambingan time. Kelangan sulitin!

So yep. Here I am, blogging at 5 in the morning. And it’s so cold! 19°C baby! :)

I am so in love with Manila’s weather. I hope it stays this way all year long. #DreamOn

Anyway, I decided to post my old #OOTD which I saw on my hard drive recently. I was supposed to post this right away but I had issues with the lappy back then. And I can’t believe that my bump is still teeny tiny and that was only more than 2 months ago!

So here’s me at 22weeks 1day…

Oh bongga! Pa-virgin! Look at that cute bump. I miss that. Hahahahaha! Now the lil’peanut is heavy and big. Oh how fast time flies when you’re a mom. Kaya tama nga sila. Savor every moment. Kasi before you know it, they no longer are your baby…

Ay! Hindi din! Bakit ako?! Baby padin ni Mila. Hahahaha.. Maybe I’ll get a leaf out Mila’s book and make sure that I raise my child to be so close to me. So when the time comes that grow old, they’ll still be all sweet to me. At maka THEY naman daw ako?!! Hahahahaha! She pala! SHE’ll be sweet to me kahit malaki na!

Anyway, I am wearing an old dress here. A personal favorite. And I can’t believe that I was able to use it as maternity. It got a little shorter nga lang pero carry padin. Actually, I can still wear it now and I’m on my 8th month na. Hindi na nga lang sa office coz it has become too short for the Company Dress Code.

So here’s how I wore it last November 2012 (exactly a year before the above picture was taken)…

Parang walang difference no?!

Promise parang wala! Let’s take a look at the November 2013 me again…

Aside from the obvious fact that it got shorter at the front, no difference! Well maybe, I look a little more plump but that’s it! Harhar! And let me mention that I am 22weeks 1day pregnant! I told you I didn’t really gain that much weight  during the first 7 months of my pregnancy. Medyo bumawi lang lately. Hahahaha! But atleast I’ve already maintained my weight so even if I gained a little too much now, balance lang. Actually, I’m still on the lower bracket of the normal weight gain range for my age and height. I just have to mention that here on the blog for all my friends who kept on telling me to quit eating!

Nakakaloka kasi, everytime they see me eating pagsasabihan ako agad. Eh hello?! I have a child to feed who constantly make me hungry. And besides, I monitor my food intake talaga. Unlike other preggy woman out there, I don’t go heavy on the rice. Normal padin like my pre-preggy self. I still maintain the 2-3 cups per day rice. Na medyo lugi pa nga kasi the 1 cup of rice at work is like half a cup only. Ang konti. I just eat more snacks which is what’s advisable coz I have gastritis. So I eat 1 pandesal or 1 small pack of cookies or oatmeal or fruits just to make sure that I don’t get hungry. I also go heavy on water. Medyo nawala lang ako sa wisyo nung December break. Hahahaha! But now I’m back on track.

I was whacking my brains for a blog-worthy Title but there’s only one word I could think of --- HUGE!

Look at me!! At 33 weeks and 3 days…

Look at that huge baby bump. Or should I say, ball?! Everyone’s telling me that I look like I’d pop anytime soon. Which by the way is not a great thing to say to a pregnant woman on her 8th month. Hello?! I don’t want a premmie. So please… Knock on wood! Hindi nakakatulong. Nakakaloka!

Anyway, I’m very proud to announce that even though I look like I’m carrying a huge watermelon and even if I gained a few pounds here and there, I am still on my pre-preggy clothes.

See how I styled the same tube top (worn as skirt) pre-pregnancy. Say hello to the October 2012 me!

I can’t believe that I can still wear it even if I have thunder thighs now. And huge belly. I guess that’s one great thing about having loads of stretchable items in your closet. And not to mention extra versatile pieces. This is one of favorites actually.

Anyway, if there’s one thing I super love about being pregnant is the pregnancy glow. You see, I’m not wearing make ups lately. First, because I am so tamad to even bother. Second, the companion has been telling me to give my skin a rest and not put anything else to avoid irritation. So imagine how happy I am when I did a selfie this morning and got this…

Pinkish cheeks. Glowing skin. Bare face. And a slightly swollen nose. Hahahahaha! And oh! Messy eyebrows! Ugh! But whatever. I have a glowing skin. Pang-ponds at Olay levels. Saya lang ng effortless beauty. Kaya napa-blog ako agad!!!

So sorry if I haven’t done an OOTD in a while. I realized that I still have a few on my hard drive which I can’t post because they are “old”. Baby bump is much smaller a couple of weeks back. Oh how I missed the days when I can have an old set photos and can still post them today. But well, I’m also enjoying this pregnancy and all the perks that goes with it. Like backaches and heartburns and sleepless nights and stretch marks. And of course, those little kicks and rolls and turns that my lil’peanut is doing inside which makes my heart expand with so much love.

I am one lucky lady.
