Yes, I'm on the way

Now that my husband had let the cat out of the bag in Facebook without my permission (I was just thankful he didn't say the gender), I am also sharing this pleasant surprise in my own site. 

I am 41 turning 42 this year and I am having a baby. It wasn't planned but it was a pleasant gift for us. It maybe another turning point for the whole household esp. that our youngest is already 11 by the time we have this little one out. But I guess, this is something from heaven because after two miscarriages last year, this gift still insisted to come this year. 

I originally wanted to "announce" my pregnancy at the end of this month 

after everything has been confirmed, but you know...

Because I am not that young anymore, I decided to undergo a non invasive prenatal test called Harmony, in other clinic they have this Panorama test which I think is basically the same. Through blood sample from me, the test can detect any abnormalities of the baby (autism not included). It was suggested to me by a HS classmate who happened to give birth last year to her 2nd baby. The blood sample has to be sent to the UK and results will be known after ten days. I am not that worried (age also makes a person more accepting I guess) but I don't expect a perfect pregnancy as well since I am already considered to be in the high risk category. 

So, what's happening to me now? I have break outs on my cheeks and foreheads due to the changes in my beauty routine. I have long shifted to a more natural and harmless beauty products since this pregnancy. I have gained weight and this is the only dress that could fit me now (at least I was still able to wear it last Friday, hurray!).

But Anjo told me that the bump is already there. :)

Now I am back to argan oil.

The Vitamin E collagen was bought from the Philippines last month when I was trying to find a baby friendly moisturizer. But I use it as my body lotion. 

I also have to find a way to clean my face since I don't use my exfoliating cream from my derma.

This soft brush from Olay, this Cetaphil and of course Cure are my constant friends two times week. I still use mask but just the one with the coconut product. Oh Boy! The weight, the freckles and the pimples... Haha. Not a joke, really. But this is only temporary. For the time being, I just use my make up skills to conceal those unwanted visitors. 

I still feel normal except from occasional laziness and exhaustion. Nothing extraordinary. I hope it stays this way until the end of the full term. I could only pray.

So for now this is it. God Bless everyone!
