My husband, baby bump and I are now in my hometown. My husband really wanted me to deliver the baby here so that we have our respective families, relatives and friends around us in this momentous occasion in our lives.
Since the airline allows pregnant women to fly before the 34th week of pregnancy, my husband and I decided to go home in time for the holy week celebration which happens to be on my 32nd week. This way we can also celebrate the holy week with relatives who are on holiday break from work.
Before our trip, we went on our final check-up with our OB in Manila to have myself cleared for the flight and to check up on our baby’s health and progress. Thank God everything is ok with our baby. He grew a bit bigger though so I have to be extra careful with my diet if I want to avoid having to go through CS or suffer some complications. I have been having trouble with sweet tooth since my second trimester. This was not so during my first trimester where I really had no interest in food other than to fill my insatiable appetite and avoid acid refluxes.
Also, few days before we flew, my officemates and good friends held separate baby showers for baby and I. It was heartwarming to know that besides my husband and I, the people close to us are happy and are all looking forward to our new born. I am even more motivated to bring this wonderful gift to life knowing that he is already loved by many.
May God bring us enormous joy through the birth of this wonderful baby that from Him alone springs forth.
