Djamillah I’s Blog

I realized it’s been a while since I last posted on here. That’s either due to the hustle and bustle of the whole pregnancy thing, stress, or maybe facebook. LOL..

Anyway, so this is it. I’m in the last leg of my pregnancy..I am counting down 14 days to my expected delivery date. Whew! So close and yet so far! I am getting more and more anxious as the days go by. I keep wondering how it’ll be this time around. But the thought of my God being with me just calms me..

My backpains are still here. Pelvic pains have added onto that. The little one’s very active inside and just kicking and poking every chance he gets. Which is great..at least I know he’s healthy.

Other updates - we are getting the whole house painted. Tey and I are moving into the other room. We painted two of the walls striped red and white. The other two are just plain red. The house is a shade of blue green w a lining of navy blue at the bottom. We got a new bed frame and will soon also be getting a new mattress. We’ll also get an airconditioner. It’s been fun these past few days with us getting everything ready for when I give birth.

How I wish I was rich enough to not have to go to work till I give birth..For now, I am still driving to and from work..big belly and all. Just imagine how my work is all the way on the south end of Edsa. My hospital on the other hand is all the way on the north side of Edsa! hehe..Crazy, I know..

Anyway, my next update will most probably be after I give birth already..with pictures and all! I can’t wait!!

Till then! Pray for my safe delivery and for my heathy baby boy!

God bless you all!

So I’m currently almost at 3months into my pregnancy. With my first pregnancy being 10 years ago, it hasn’t been the easiest thing for me so far. I’ve had my share of nauseau and vomitting, lower back pain as well as lower pelvic pains, mood swings, etc. I’m not over any of that yet either. How I wish I was. Ugh..

Anyway, I’ve been reading up again on this whole pregnancy thing. For a few weeks now, I’ve read that I would go through these phases where I’d almost seem lunatic with all the changes in moods and feelings and the whole crying over nothing series. I was wondering how although I’ve been going through all the first trimester pains and difficulties, why I haven’t experienced any of these phases where I cry and then laugh and then cry all over. Well, today was my day. I bawled my eyes out for a few hours. It was all over the fact of:

1.how hard it’s been for me with all the headache, dizziness and vomitting,

2.the fact that I have to make myself believe I’m ok enough everyday to go into work just so I’d still have money to pay for bills,

3.how every time I wanna eat I just don’t know where or what I wanna eat or that when I crave something and I get it, I just end up throwing it all up after,

4.and then a little bit of pity was thrown in there a bit.

It was just a mix of things that was whirling inside of me. And it just reached a certain level I guess. And oh my, how it all poured itself out. Whew..

There..I think I feel better now. That’s it.

 So I’ve been delayed 10 days now. All my doctor friends advised that I do my pregnancy test 2 weeks after my missed period. But since pregnancy test kits don’t cost mush anymore, I decided to just go ahead and test myself.

And praise God, as claimed, the result was POSITIVE!!

We’re so happy!!

*by the way, I noticed a lot of comments about the sex of the baby. While all that’s important is that the baby is healthy, we’re praying for another boy. And THEN, we want a girl. God is good though, no He’s AWESOME…and I should probably already claim our prayer for twins (mala Charlene or Carmina twins)!!! Whopee!!

I can’t wipe this grin off my face. I am just sooo happy that we’re finally married. I am now Mrs. Djamillah Maria Turaray ABAYA…*sigh*

God has been good. My life has been a testimony of his greatness. He has blessed me greatly through the years and it has been just wonderful.

Years ago, after going through a very bad relationship (bad doesn’t even come close to describing how it really was), I said a prayer that God would give me a man that was “close to God” and that had fear of Him. I also said that the next guy I would be with would be the last one for me and that if it still didn’t work out, I was through with “love”. Tey, in his own world at the time, also said his own little prayer. And through a payroll dispute, God brought our paths together. At first I was disappointed coz I started to like Tey already but he certainly didn’t look like a man that even knew God so I was holding myself back. Little did I know that he was and is a man big on his faith, whose father is also the head pastor at our church, whose mom was at that time handling the Children’s Ministry and whose brother was the percussionist of the Music Ministry. Tey was also the lead guitarist in the church. I soon got to also be a part of the church’s choir and taught the children in Sunday school. We’re now both leaders in our church. We had A LOT of fun times. We got along real well and we just clicked. And as is in every relationship, there were trials that we went through but nothing was able to break us apart. God was and will always be the center of our relationship. That had to be the key to it all.

After 4 and a half years of being together, we tied the knot yesterday - Dec. 08, 2008. It was a simple civil wedding with people that were very close to us as a couple. *sigh again*

I’m just very happy right now. I’m married to the man I love with half my life (the other half of my life is for Santi Ü). We’ve now officially started our lives as husband and wife..I can’t even begin to express the excitement that dwells in me. Each time I think of it, I just feel all warm and tingly all over.

To our Lord,

I can’t thank You enough for blessing our relationship and now binding us together. You have brought me out of the dumps and showed me that once I receive You as my saviour and keep complete faith and trust in You, You will shower my life with victory. Thank You for blessing me with the perfect partner for me to spend the rest of my life with. May You continue to guide us and protect us always. All glory and honor to Your name Almighty Father!
