It's been almost a year since I've even blogged, where have all the time went and what the hell I've been doing this whole time huh?
Where do I start? I've been living in California for almost a year now. I am truly blessed and grateful for all the opportunities I've had since I've been here. I am working Full Time at a Corporate office as a System Analyst 2. If you asked me what I wanted to do a year ago, I would have had no idea but given all the opportunities I've had since I've lived here. I am able to expand not only my knowledge, but I was able to build a strong network within a supporting community. Again, I would have never thought I'd be so lucky to be able to provide not only for myself but my future family.
I got engaged to the person I met 5 years ago and we're expecting our first child next year. A lot of people have doubted us, but we never gave up because we knew what we both wanted. We took the time to work things out and I am thankful for everything I have right now. Nothing can be any better than carry the child of the person you love. We are beyond excited and there are many challenges we're going to face throughout the process of providing for our little family. I believe we're both ready and we're going to do everything we can to make sure baby gets what he wants.
It was so intriguing to see and feel that there's a growing baby in your body. They say you'll never understand the pain your mom go through till you actually become a mom yourself, I concur. It hasn't been easy for me, but I am doing everything I can to make sure we have a healthy baby. The doctor said, I am high risk since I am diabetic. It's been a rough journey for me, I have to measure my glucose level 4 times at day and inject 2 insulin a day. One before bedtime and one before breakfast since breakfast sugar level has been high. I'd have to say it's rough, but I am going to push through.
Sometimes, I feel like it's still surreal that there's a little baby growing inside me. A lot of people have asked if I felt its kicks yet. I've felt a lot of things in my belly but I can't differentiate whether those are kicks or just him being a active baby moving around. Nonetheless, I am super excited and blessed to be able to grow a baby inside me and eventually hold him in my arms. There are still so much I have to learn on how to be a good mom and both of us to become a good parent. There isn't good or bad, but I definitely know there is a long learning process. Trial and error right?
Nothing to exciting, but I will try to keep a progress about the pregnancy since that's the highlight in my life right now besides the engagement.
