Welcome Baby Gihan Raphael Paulo!

Hi everyone! It's been so long since I last updated this blog. I did take the bedrest seriously and control myself not to blog too much. Although the 2-month bedrest due to placenta previa felt like forever, it was all worth it now that I have already given birth to my baby via normal delivery. That's right! I was able to deliver normally since the placenta migrated prior to my due date. Unfortunately, baby did not reach full term; at 36 weeks and 1 day last September 25 at 2:50pm, out came Baby Gihan Raphael Paulo weighing only 5.06 lbs / 2.3 kilos. And although his lungs were already matured, he had to be in the incubator for 2 days because his heart rate was fluctuating. Plus, he also acquired the UTI (urinary tract infection) that I experienced during pregnancy, that's why he had to take antibiotics via injections for seven days. But according to his pedia, once he's done with this, he will be ok.

Anyway, without further ado, let me introduce to you my new bundle of joy - BABY GIHAN RAPHAEL PAULO!

It's A Boy!

Yes, it's a boy! I had my pelvic ultrasound done this afternoon and I couldn't believe when the sonologist told me that what I'm having is a baby boy. WOW! As in, it was amazing! I've been longing for a baby boy ever since I had two girls, so today I finally realized that dream. God really answers prayers. And I'm more than thankful that after a long wait, he's finally here - my long-awaited dream. Oh, I can't wait to see him!

I'm only on my 24th week of pregnancy, so it means I still have to wait for about 16 weeks before I can see how adorable my little boy is. Oh, I wonder how is eyes look, his nose, his lips, everything! I'm really excited, very excited. And I'm pretty sure the little girls will be so happy too because they also wanted to have a baby brother this time. Can't wait to go home and tell them the good news.
