"Congrats! You're nine weeks pregnant, Misis," my OB congratulated me with a big smile like my pregnancy was really a blessing.Jonas accompanied me to have a check up today. The baby inside my belly was one inch already. It was a size of a grape fruit."Expect a roller coaster feeling within this week. Your nausea will get even worse.""Why do I feel like I don't want to eat? Eversince I'm picky but this time it gets worse. Is it okay? Is that still normal because of hormonal changes?""Those symptoms you are experiencing are common, Misis. But some pregnant women don't experience that. It still depends." I glanced at Jonas. I feel so bad for him because he is the one who suffers the most for he doesn't know what I want to eat. Sometimes I craved for a particular food but when it's already served, my taste buds changed. I don't want to eat it anymore.And sometimes even if he was doing nothing, he's so annoying. I don't want to see hi

"My jeans won't fit anymore," I complained to Jonas while forcing the zipper of my jeans to lock."You wear leggings, E. I remember Jadeite used to wear leggings when she was still pregnant.""Even if I still have small baby bump?""As long as you're comfortable. Or you wear dress instead." "It's too early to wear maternity dress," I countered stubbornly.He sighed heavily while I frowned. In the end, I wore a black leggings then I started to feel hungry."What to eat later?" I asked as I went to the living room."What do you want?" He asked as he was sitting on the couch while watching basketball game."Anything but not too fishy, Joe. Can you make me burger please?""Burger?" He looked at me. He was holding a remote control. "It's not healthy.""Just put some veggies.""E, take healthy foods for the baby. Burgers are too greasy. It's risky for the baby.""What about bread and veggies," I coun

I was swiping up on my socmed when I saw Jenny's post. She was my blockmate when I was in third year college.Jenny SalamancaThanks G! Another successful project!I scanned through her uploaded pictures. These were the pictures of her projects from planning to renovating an old house.I reacted to her post and commented.Etincelle ReyesCongrats! I would lie to myself that I didn't feel jealous. While they were chasing their dreams, here I was, waiting for the deliverance of my baby.It had been my dream to re-design old buildings. I wanted to renovate a building that everyone though it useless. Sometimes all we needed to fix an old thing was to preserve it. Sometimes, even old things can turn into new ones. Not only that it was physically altered, even the very foundation will more sturdy.

"You're not calling us anymore! What are you? An OFW worker?" Morthena complained during our videocall."Relax," I laughed at her. "I'm just so busy.""You don't have a work, hello?""Work is not the only thing that makes a person busy. What's up?""Jaydi got some new girl again!" She rolled her eyes. "That ex of yours is such a piece of shit!""What's new? We all know Jaydi has a flavor of the month," Haponesa said."Why are we talking about him? We don't need him in our lives," I scoffed."It's nothing. His face is just so annoying. He captioned in his photo 'she's the one' like hell! How many girls he had said 'she's the one' to? I hope cheaters and playboys will get cursed to death.""Be careful with your words, Morthena. Philip might be one of them!" I teased and laughed aloud."Girl, if only you know. My par

I ran my palm against the smoothness of my bed. I tapped the space beside me. I opened my left eye only to see Jonas was gone.I got up from bed and stretched my body. I went out the room and looked for Jonas. I saw him cooking something in the kitchen. The smell of peanut butter captured my nostrils."What are you cooking, love?" I asked Jonas. I went to him and hugged him from behind. I kissed his nape, making him flinch. I smiled in an instant."Kare-kare, love. You like it?""Okay," I snaked my arms around his waist and buried my face on his back. I sniffed him. "You smell so good today.""Really? I don't wear any perfumes.""It's okay. I think my senses are getting better."His body moved and then he removed my arms around his body. He turned around and faced me."Is there something you want to tell me?" He asked patiently.
