Dr Chelvi said that I should have been told of this by Dr Lila when I saw her last. She is disappointed that it's only now that I've been made aware of it. I just hope that everything will turn out ok in the results this afternoon.
Caroline, the blood-test lady is 68 years old and she looked way way younger. Her son was just diagnosed with MS and she was sad. I left her saying to stay young and pretty and she said that made her day. Bless Caroline and her son Lord, that they may turn to you in times of trouble and that they may sense your true divine will.

Hypothyroidism in Pregnancy
I went to see Dr Chelvi this morning and she told me that my blood tests shows I have hypothyroidism. To read more about it, go to the link below.

I had a repeat blood-test this morning to see if there are any improvements in the result. If not, then I will need to take some medication to improve my thyroid hormone. I pray that everything will turn out positive. Lord, just look after my baby and please let him be a normal and healthy child.

Going to Westmead Private....
We have decided on going private for this bubba. This morning I booked the hospital and Dr Gayer. I'll be seeing Dr Gayer on April 4 at 1:50PM. We will be out-of-pocket - $1800 for her fees and $120 for my initial consultation. We will also pay Westmead Private $250 (the excess of MBF) and possibly the anesthetist (from my last surgery - this would be around $500). Money, money, money - am sure the Lord will provide.
I have been coughing and sniffling the last few days. Just removed my milk intake and increased my liquids from water (about 2litres a day) and orange juice. I also discovered apple and mango juice and it's yummy. I also found out that I can still eat sushi just making sure I don't eat the raw fish, so last night Rommel and I went to Castle Hill, had sushi at Sushi Bay and then watched John Travolta's Be Cool. Funny movie!
Last Monday, we have signed the documents at Tita Josie's office for the sale of 10 Maple Road. Things should start rolling in the coming weeks.
On the weekend, after Elijah's soccer game last Saturday, we went to WestPoint - Donna did her nails and we both got a haircut at Hair Effects. Ok lang and I think I will go back to her. Then we were over at Donna's place for the Sister Val Surprise Party meeting. Teaching kids to do their singing, designing some butterflies and me becoming a B-I-T-C-H (as the others have said - am blaming it all on the hormones). Didn't get home 'till 3am and was so tires Sunday but had to go to our CFC household and afterward went to Officeworks and home to sleep. Got up in time for Palm Sunday mass and went grocery shopping afterwards. Went home and slept at about 9PM.
Was so very tired! I think all my pagod on the weekend is what made me get this cold. Will just relax the next few days so I can get proper rest and no more late nights.

Oh, the weekend 'til today...
FRIDAY - 11-March-2005
I worked from home today. Work has been quiet the past few days because all my reports have been delivered. I'm waiting on another report from Singapore, so I can produce my report for HP that is due on the 20th of the month.
Friday evening at 6pm - I did my first "strangers" CM home class. It was ok but deep inside I wished I was not there. The ladies were all pretty advanced in scrapbooking and I could have learnt from them than them from me. Melissa Sluitter, my coordinator is very interested in becoming a CM consultant as well. Hopefully she signs up. I got to leave the place at 10PM. Then, Rommel and I went to Mia Habito's place to celebrate her 30th birthday. We saw Bern&Jay, Donna&Dex, Maria&Jerue, Tita Miriam and Tito Elmo. We told them all that we were 7 weeks. They were all so happy for me and Jerue said "Finally!"
SATURDAY - 12-March-2005
Rommel and I drove to MacDonalds for breakfast this morning and went to Dex's place at about 8am. I am helping him decorate for Frances and BJ's wedding at BiCentennial Park at Homebush. I was annoyed that the SFC girls who were meant to also help did not even show. Lucky Macky, Simon and Marnell were there to help Dex and I with the plates, cutleries and glasses for the tables.
After decorating, Rommel came to pick me up and we went to Milson's Point as I was craving for this Satay Chicken dish I used to have when I worked at ORM. When we got there and ordered it - IT WAS A DISAPPOINTMENT. I'm still looking for that SATAY SAUCE as its not the same as what I had.
At about 5PM, we headed back to Homebush to take down our decors. Then we all went over to Mia's again for dinner and Rommel and I were home at 11PM.
SUNDAY - 13-March-2005
Went to mass at 10:30 then to Ate Mirza's for a CM Business Opportunity Meeting. Melissa also came with her baby Tahlia. At 2PM, I received a call from Mom that Carrie's fiance was in Sydney. My initial reaction was why only now - pa-uwi na raw sya tomorrow. We had a meeting pa for Sister Val's surprise party at home.
When I got home, Evenil & Taylah, Rona, Tita Susan, Michelle & Kyan, Dex & Elijah and Rommel were making calls to those guests who havent RSVP'd. Rommel told the story about the traffic, me calling and telling him that I am pregnant. Everyone were stunned, silent, no reaction and Rommel had to repeat himself and it sunked in. Sigawan and congratulations left right and centre. Evenil told Taylah who was super happy, she hugged me.
While this was going on, I contacted Macky, Carrie's fiance who told me he was already out and about. Not to worry nalang daw. I txt'd back to say we wanted to meet up even for dinner. So, we (Denden & Taylah and Hannah, Edward, Rommel & Me) went over to their hotel at William Street about 9PM. We met Macky - Russell Crowe look-alike and Waldo - a royalty from Philippines. :-) We headed to Harry's Cafe de Wheels. We then had a road tour of Sydney City in Denden's landcruiser with a tour guide - a Local Cab-driver (Denden). Afterward, we went to Star City Casino, just sat down and chatted. Got home at about 1AM and super tired and exhausted.
MONDAY - 14-March-2005
Went to work and had a quiet day. I completed that last report due on the 20th. I still havent told anyone here apart from Charmaine, Sara, Jovy and this morning Che. Kulit nya, she kept on getting to excited and Rhonda came past looking at me funny. Anyways, wont tell work 'til 4 more weeks from now.
Edward kindly bought some steaks for Waldo and also Carrie and family. Waldo was so appreciative and he didnt mind bring the extras back home.
I watched my TVsoapies (Neighbours ands HomeandAway), then the Australian Story on ABC featuring Ian Smith (Harold Bishop in Neighbours) who was told by his mom at 54 years old that he was adopted. Then watched Desperate Housewive and was too tired, i went straight to bed.
TUESDAY - 15-March-2005
I found out last night that Edward and Lorelie were told by Lorelie's dad to hire a co-ordinator. I kinda felt annoyed because I thought I was gonna help out there but guess not. Anyway, I started to feel annoyed and this morning woke up still feeling "inis". Think it could be the hormones, but am just not in the mood to be nice. Am telling baby that "am not galit at him just annoyed with everything else."

This is nice.... the crosses we bear.
The CROSS
A young man
Was at the end of his rope,
Seeing no way out, he dropped to his knees
In prayer "Lord, I can't go on," he said.
"I have too heavy a cross to bear."
The Lord replied, "My son,
If you can't bear its weight,
Just place your cross Inside This room.
Then, open that other door
And pick out any cross you wish."
The man was filled with relief and said,
"Thank you Lord," and he did
As he was told. Upon entering the
Other room, he saw many crosses;
Some so large the tops were not visible.
Then, he spotted a tiny cross
Leaning Against a far wall.
"I'd like that one, Lord," he whispered.
The Lord replied, "My son, that is the cross you just brought in."
When life's problems seem overwhelming, It helps
To look around and see
What other people are coping with.
You may consider yourself
Far more fortunate than you imagined.
YOUR CROSS
Whatever your cross
Whatever your pain
There will always be sunshine
After the rain
Perhaps you may stumble
Perhaps even fall
But God's always there
To help you through it all

We saw our little pea! :-)
Rommel and I went for an ultrasound yesterday afternoon and saw the little pea inside my uterus. Praise God that the bleeding has stopped and looks like the little one is secure where he/she is right now. Continuing to pray that everything will flow smoothly and according to the Divine Will.

Its all ok!
Rommel and I went to see Dr Lily yesterday after work and she tested me again (urine) to see if the pregnancy is still on and it is. She told me to take it easy - no exercising, no stress, just relax and be happy. Take these next two months as precious time with baby. After the first trimester, I can then ressume my exercising.
She has asked me to go for some bloodtests and an ultrasound which I may do this coming Friday since the bleeding has stopped already and work is kinda busy these next few days due to monthly reporting.
With thanks to Mom, this is our prayer every moment of everyday.
"I desire to fuse my human will to the divine will. God will fulfill my desire and do the rest. In the name of my baby, I love you Father with your will, I adore you Father with your will, i thank you father with your will and i bless you father with your will. Please allow the baby to start doing the acts through me. In this way, I have no reason to be scared since I will be nothing and divine will reigns in me and in my baby. AMEN."
Thanks Mom, we will trust in the divine will with regards to the welfare of our little one. We will be attentive and listen to His Divine Will in picking names as well. :-)
