I feel so guilty that I haven't documented my pregnancy with baby Annie as much as I did with ate Gwen-Gwen. As much as I wanted, I already have the urge to write whenever I sit down in front of the computer but my time doesn't allow me much. This is especially true during the first two semesters. This was the time when I do not have reliable house helps (not that the one I have now is more responsible ). Anyway, I'll try to make up for the last 4 weeks or so.

Last week, I asked tatay to take a picture of me for my 34th week. I look big, but not as big as I was with my first. My face is not that puffy either. I guess the diet works

Looking back, if I can make a comparison with both pregnancies. the second pregnancy is better. Here's why:
* I was never put on bedrest.  I can even carry ate Gwen-Gwen at this stage. I didn't have any complications along the way... except for the GDM of course.
* I monitor my weight better this time. Since I was previously diagnosed with GDM, I was monitored early. I was put into 'not-so strict' diet and until now I still haven't injected any insulin.
* The worst case I had was a week of cough and colds but it was taken cared with vitamin C. Oh, I also have low blood for this pregnancy. I am still taking hemarate 3x a day for it. And several tooth ache episodes on my last tri
* I also didn't experience any morning sickness again. Hiyang magbuntis

When I look at it, I am still lucky because I do not have too much complications on my pregnancies. Even if I am not that young anymore,  it is still considered as stress-free pregnancies. I am so blessed.

And I am also thankful for the free life insurance quote that I received for baby Annie. I'll still think about it, considering the stability of pre-need plans.
