Hundreds of people were trapped on the roofs of their homes as the flood heightened to drown them. They hoped in their heart of hearts that a rescue team will somehow emerge from the total darkness and bring them safely to a safe ground. But no one came. While people sent messages of help in their soaked and dying cellphones pleading for help, the Arroyo government went on closed-door meetings and media interviews, where a single second may have been significant in saving lives…In this kind of disaster, every second lost and may mean lost lives.</p> <p>Hundreds of people were trapped, but very few rubber boats arrived for rescue. Many died, and those who survived had to be sobered by the fact that a few more hours of rain would have certainly killed them, had not the rain somehow diminished in the night. They had to wait in the morning to be rescued, spending the night cold, wet, hungry—but alive.</p><p>I remember my my friend told me the sad story and I was really felt bad about it. I wish I could help them but I'm too far away from them..Anyhow, my family are safe. They were on vacation this week in our province..Hopefully they can go back to manila for safe travel.<br /></p></blockquote>Delia Milhollandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13863486052455074026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670917490367262972.post-23632814721109235222009-09-02T12:53:00.000-07:002009-10-03T20:13:18.209-07:001 Month old.My precious girl is now 1 month old..she is such a blessing for us. we enjoy watching her and learn new things everyday she seems growing so fast. she now can see us.. its fun coz she can now follow us too. i was really amazed watching her eyes following us.<br /> Today we have doctor appointment at 4pm..

I was exhausted in the morning because I dont have much sleep from nursing my baby. I felt little bit nervous while waiting our names to be called and it took half hour sitting in a waiting area. I was wondering coz some other couples called ahead of us and besides were early than them...Finally the gentleman call my name and we follow him to his office. He told us to be sitted and he ask me if i know how to speak english and i said yes then he told us to swear and tell the truth for all his questions.. I felt nervous to answer him because he look strict to me but later on i felt calm and comfortable answering him. I realize that he was a nice person. He ask for our passports and my SSN and our ids and he gather all our documents. We had good conversation towards him and its like were talking to him like a friends.<br />Luckily were done.. and he told us our documents are fine. so I guess no problem with it.. so I was approved!</span><br /></span>Delia Milhollandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13863486052455074026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670917490367262972.post-51148203377273178692009-08-24T11:32:00.000-07:002009-08-28T11:15:40.595-07:003 weeks old<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuThR1hqyIskScZY8jab_pnRylCUNifDh7X6-gGZzPZZXkttonOXaq7PnJ-g5zEFO43IaZAoXc8luNeX-jlAeHr3sQtTwISd9UVx_IaMby8Gqm0q_mRjIcyNLMKfFK6ghTIA4PtxD8FzYe/s1600-h/catherine+jean+025.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuThR1hqyIskScZY8jab_pnRylCUNifDh7X6-gGZzPZZXkttonOXaq7PnJ-g5zEFO43IaZAoXc8luNeX-jlAeHr3sQtTwISd9UVx_IaMby8Gqm0q_mRjIcyNLMKfFK6ghTIA4PtxD8FzYe/s320/catherine+jean+025.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373600278436095890" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:arial;" >My little girl is now 3 weeks old.

I didn't go back to bed that time. I was observing myself on whats happening on me. One hour later I started in pain and having hard contraction. when the contraction came hard, the water keeps flowing so I woke up my husband and tell whats happening to me. I was still doubting, I was really worried if we go to hospital and not time yet maybe the doctor will sent back home again..</span><br /><span style="font-family: webdings; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">My husband getting busy calling our doctor but he can't contact her but someone in the center answer and telling whats going on me. We decided to go hospital. I took a quick shower and starting to have hard contraction again and my water keeps flowing. I guess this is really is it. I only eat a little oatmeal for breakfast and my husband getting busy packing everything and load in the car. </span><br /><span style="font-family: webdings; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">About 8:30 in the morning we checked in the hospital and theysent me to birthing center. The nurse checked me and i was already 3cm dilated. She asked my urine sample and she saw my pads that has yellow on it. she said its a meconium i was really worried for that. one hour later, other nurse took a blood sample and she inserted a pinicilin. Every time i'm on pain i asked for medication. At 3pm the doctor checked on me again and I was already 5 cm dilated. this time my contraction getting worse and im on pain too much so i decided to have epidural. 10 munites later someone doctor came and he inserted the medication on me. I felt numb all over my legs and in my tummy I dont feel the hurts` anymore. I was so weak this time. Nurse told me to get some rest or nap when I can. She also inserted catheter on me because im not allowed to get up. About 6:30pm I can feel so much pressure on my butt everytime the contractions begin. the doctor came in and checked on me again. By this time I was already 9 and half cm dilated. oh my gosh I am really close to push. About 7pm the doctor checked on me again and I am finally 10 cm dilated. I really urge to push this time. so the nurse told me to try pushing and I did. I still remember many doctors and nurses around me and i don't care for men doctor. all in my mind is to concentrate in pushing . I kept praying and pushing this time. My husband was there with me and help me to push. All the doctors and nurses are very supportive. All i can hear from them is to say push and breath. I felt the head coming out and i only took a break to breath. The baby finally born at 7:40 pm. I was so amazed and very thankful to God. I did great! There's a tears on my eyes when i hear the baby cry. I know its a tears of joy and happiness.</span></span><br /></span>Delia Milhollandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13863486052455074026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670917490367262972.post-83552741551946732862009-07-29T18:44:00.000-07:002009-07-30T12:13:15.529-07:00False alarm experienced!<span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-family: arial;">Yesterday at 4am I was already starting having bad contraction until evening.. In the morning, my contraction changed to mild until evening. I went to bed at 11 pm and I can't sleep until 3am. my contraction getting harder and when i pee its hurts even if I change position the hurt doesn't go away.. my husband can't sleep good too coz he is worried for me everytime im on pain he massage me. I tried to go back to sleep but the hurts wake me up always. At 3 am the hurts getting harder and harder so I wake up my hubby to go hospital. he is very supportive until then.. we load our bags and things in the car and we went to the hospital. when we got there my hubby get a wheelchair for me coz its hard for me to walk. we check in and they bring us to birthing center. The nurse check my weight before we enter the room and after that she sent us to the room. I change my clothes and she ask my urine sample.. we sit there for a moment and waiting for the nurse to come in.. in 10 mins, the nurse came in..so she start monitoring me, checking my blood and checking the heartbeat of the baby. while monitoring me she told me that the doctor will come in in a little while to check me. so when the doctor check my cervix she said i was dilated for 1 and half cm. and i was surprised my other doctor at center said i was already dilated at 2 cm in that day... I really can't believe coz i thought im already dilated like 3 to 4 cm. so the doctor tell us to check me again after in 1 hour if there is something changing on me. while waiting i took a nap and my contraction changed to mild. I was really confused., why its change like that. The doctor was confused too.. so she decided to check my vagina if i have infection.. In my other doctor she already check me for group b test and i was positive.. the doctor start checking on me.. oh my gosh..it was really terrible i was tense and panic coz i remember during my papsmer its not really good at all. the nurse told me to relax so the doctor can did it. it took a minute to check and i was really uncomfortable that time. finally she's done checking on me.. while waiting for the result i took a nap. after an hour the doctor came in to tell us the results.. I was positive so that means i had infection..the doctor said its yeast infection on my vagina. Since i was dilated 1 and half cm the doctor sent us home but she gave me medication for my infection first. and she told me to take tylenol pm so i can sleep. when we got home i went our room right away to sleep.. i was really super tired and sleepy. I slept 8 hrs on that day. I woke up 5 pm and I was hungry coz that time i dont eat lunch. after taking a shower i go down to eat. I can't believe coz i feel better no more pain not too much contraction I just feel normal. so until now i feel better. oh well, its false alarm experienced.. so crazy!

I only gained 1 pound for this week.. my tummy was already so tight and stretch so no more room for my baby to grow. The nurse checked me if I have contraction and checked me if im near in labor. she use a machine to it. It's really uncomfortable to lay down while checking on me but I had to sacrifice. the doctor monitoring on that for 20 mins but the contraction wasn't too bad yet. so I still have prenatal visit for next week unless the baby will come.</span></span><br /></span>Delia Milhollandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13863486052455074026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670917490367262972.post-67087981447370922772009-07-21T13:29:00.000-07:002009-07-21T15:28:56.036-07:00Just being bored...<span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);font-family:lucida grande;" >I feel bored today since i was just alone in the house. my hubby didn't go home for lunch coz they had a meeting today at work and the lunch is free.

I really dont sleep much last night. i kept waking up to go bathroom. In the morning we get up early for for church. we went to rocky mountain christian church, the church was huge.. and the service was alright. i like the worship. but i dont like much the sermon . so anyway.. we back home for lunch. mom and bro's went to store to get something for dad. i really like the gift. its jps for car direction.

As usual the nurse checked my blood pressure and my weight. I gained 2 pounds for this week and my blood pressure was really good. My doctor checked my tummy and checked the heartbeat of my little girl it was really good so far. Then we talk about my feelings for this time..My husband and I want to know if I am dilated coz lately I can feel more frequent contraction and its really uncomfortable. the baby is like pushing on my cervix and its little cramping. so, we told the doctor to check me. when my doctor checked me.. she said I am already dilated for 1 and half cm..so that's means my cervix is start opening for now. I had ultrasound for today too coz my doctor wants to know if the baby's head is down. Its so amazing because I saw my little one again even though its hard to see her on the machine but I was still happy to see her. My doctor said I can have my baby by tomorrow or in a couple of days but it just all depend on the baby when she's ready to come out:)</span></span><br /></span>Delia Milhollandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13863486052455074026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670917490367262972.post-89997147121109921772009-07-14T17:12:00.000-07:002009-07-15T12:35:21.737-07:00Nurse visit!<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:arial;" >It's my nurse visit today.

My Doctor due date is July 28 but in my ultrasound its July 31. It's so confusing but I will just have to wait when the baby is arrive. Today she told us about my GBS test results and it was positive. I was little bit worried but the Doctor said its mostly common in pregnant women. All I need is to have IV antibiotics during labor. I told the Doctor about my feelings today coz i can feel burning when I pee. so they test my urine today if I have an infection. were waiting for a moment for the results and im glad its negative. no infection.:) 21 days more to go and I will have my little girl. My husband ask me if I am ready to have a baby and I said absolutely "yes". Actually im all packed and ready. Im just nervous and worried for the labor pain. Hopefully i can get through it. Goodluck with me and God guide me always!</span>Delia Milhollandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13863486052455074026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670917490367262972.post-35203476197382364132009-07-08T11:22:00.000-07:002009-07-08T11:39:29.930-07:00My experience on baking cup cake!<span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204); font-family: courier new;">I feel like to bake something so I decided to bake cup cake. My husband and I went to grocery store to get something and I also get flour cake for the cupcake. Last night we bake it. My husband help me with that since its my first time to bake. The cupcake stick on the pan because I didnt spray cooking oil all over but that is okay because its still taste very good. My husband like to put cherry topping on it and I only like plain.. Hopefully next time I bake it will make it perfect.</span>Delia Milhollandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13863486052455074026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670917490367262972.post-71266334309751721832009-07-07T11:46:00.000-07:002009-07-07T12:00:38.642-07:00WIC Appointment!<span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);font-family:arial;" >Yesterday was our WIC Program appointment and we accidentally missed it.My husband remember the appointment in the afternoon but it was already late. because the time is 4pm and he remember almost 5pm. we really frustrated coz we missed our appointment.

My baby weighs almost 6 pounds. and is more than 18 1/2 inches long. She's shedding most of the downy covering of hair that covered her body as well as the vernix caseosa, the waxy substance that covered and protected her skin during her nine-month amniotic bath. My baby swallows both of these substances, along with other secretions, resulting in a blackish mixture, called meconium, will form the contents of her first bowel movement. At the end of this week, your baby will be considered full-term. (Full-term is 37 to 42 weeks; babies born before 37 weeks are pre-term and those born after 42 are post-term.) Most likely she's in a head-down position. But if she isn't, your practitioner may suggest scheduling an"external cephalic version" which is a fancy way of saying she'll try to coax your baby into a head-down position by manipulating her from the outside of your belly.</span>Delia Milhollandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13863486052455074026noreply@blogger.com0
