A Leap To Be Complete

Posted on October 24, 2011 by Joy| Comments Off

We were 28 years old when we got married. I know that we are not getting younger so we waste no time. We then decide to have a baby. Getting pregnant was never easy, it took us two years for me to conceive and yes we went to see a number of physicians; gynecologists, and a fertility doctor. We went through several lab checks to make sure that we are healthy and capable of bearing a child. My husband is no doubt capable as he has a child to a different woman when he was younger. That, was before we got married. But still I have to get him checked. Our lab results were good. All the doctors have the same findings. They said that there is no reason for us not to have a child as we are both healthy. However they educated us more about fertility.

The SHER Institute of reproductive medicine is the authority when it comes to reproductive health and particularly the answer to every couple who are desperately longing for a baby. They have the top caliber fertility doctors who had been leading in the field for 25 years. Their approach is far more different from that which we usually encounter. They are responsible for the birth of 16,000 and counting. Surely, SIRM is helping couples make the journey from infertility to family. Visiting their website or seeing them would probably be the first step to having a family. Children makes us complete. Waste no time and be complete. Visit SIRM now. It’s a sure leap to be complete.

For One More Precious than Silver or Gold

Posted on June 20, 2011 by Joy| Comments Off

The wait has finally come to an end. A friend of mine has long been yearning for a baby and finally the almighty blessed them with one. A baby shower was held 6 months ago. My friend was 8 months pregnant then. Baby shower is the best way to celebrate or welcome a new member of the family, which is considered to be the happiest moment not only in the couple’s life but also to family members, relatives, and friends.

It is on this day that family members, relatives, and friends may suggest baby names. It is also on this celebration that the couple gets advices, and gets comforted by friends and loved ones. Well, other than foods what else to expect on baby shower than baby gifts.

Silvermoon Rattle

I was stuck with what to gift on baby shower. Surely one of their friends may already have bought infant cloths; cute socks, bootie and mittens, bibs, shirt and pants, tights and boxers, baby tubs, baby towels, robes, baby bottles, blankets and beddings, sheets and pillow cases, shower sets,  travel bags, baby carriers, some soft toys, scrapbooks, picture frames, photo album, and more. Well, I was never wrong.  Surely, since many came to grace the celebration, the couple almost had completed what was needed or what I mentioned above.

I thought hard for something that would be uniquely different. It came to me that baby love colorful and glossy things. Colors, gloss, and sound get their attention and are significant for their senses. I stroll down the mall and found some baby toys; colorful and beautiful. A set of baby item caught my attention and I believe they are unique and valuable; solid silver baby gifts. How wonderful, I did not waste time and did not hesitate to grab them to my cart. I took a complete set of baby feeding set; silver baby cups, silver baby spoon, and silver baby plates. For the baby’s toy I grab for him a silver baby rattle.

Unfortunately I was not able to attend the party due to some circumstance. Anyhow, I handed them my baby gifts and they were delighted upon seeing it. Well, it’s a bit pricey but it worth it. Sometimes when you give, it has to be valuable as you are giving it for a masterpiece more valuable than anything, more precious than silver or gold.

We segregated some baby clothes and some stuff that can still be use by our second angel.  Along with the stuff that we still find go is an ergo baby carrier that we have not used much because we does not travel much with Zach when he was an infant. Anyway we got it ready since we are pretty sure that we will be using it much with our second child. So friends were excited too as they are now asking what they could give as a present to the soon new member of the family.

Wishing for a Baby Boy

Posted on January 18, 2011 by Joy| 1 Comment

Last year my sister- in-law has been urging my brother to come home for at least two months vacation. My brother has been working in Riyadh for 7 years now. When he left for work overseas my niece; their only child was about to turn 3 years old. The reason why she urges for my brother’s homecoming is for her to be impregnated. They really desired to have another child and they’re aiming for a baby boy.

The Almighty had never failed them for before my brother flew back to Riyadh her wife was already pregnant. Not just quite sure thought if it’s going to be a boy or a girl again. Her being able to monitor how healthy my son have developed, she kept on asking me what prenatal vitamins I’d been taking when I was pregnant with my precious Zach. I took several prenatal vitamins then so off I scan Zach’s baby book to run through my checklist again.

We’re so glad with her pregnancy and we’re as hopeful that it’s going to be a boy.

Prenatal Vitamins

Posted on July 15, 2010 by Joy| 4 Comments

When I conceived my baby, my priority was to give most of my attention in keeping him healthy and protect him from any possible complication that may occur while he’s not born yet. I always keep in mind and follow the prescribed prenatal vitamins from my Gynecologist. Aside from taking and pursuing the advice from the Gynecologist, I attempt to search over the net and I found prenatalvitamins.org which provides efficient information about supplementary vitamins.            

Prenatal vitamins are supplementary that helps protect not only the baby inside the womb but also promotes good health and development of pregnant women. Taking prenatal vitamins really pays. My pregnancy was smooth sailing there was no complication, and my baby came out healthy.

Compare Vitamins

Posted on June 4, 2010 by Joy| Comments Off

Pregnant women would always wish to have a good prenatal vitamin for the best of their health and the baby.  In most cases, we women ask other pregnant women, those who had been pregnant or other mothers which prenatal vitamins worked best for them. As you see it is also hard to find vitamins which contain the components or ingredients that we are looking for. It is always best to check with the doctor and see which vitamins they recommend, or should you listen to other mothers and pregnant women, it would then be best to compare prenatal vitamins and figure out which one is right for you and the baby. You may also check for some prenatal vitamins that are available over the counter and compare. It is important that prenatal vitamins you intake can be absorb by your body.

When I started conceiving, I tried to do everything I can. I follow all the advice the doctor gave me to have a healthy pregnancy and right care for the baby inside my womb. My doctor has totally monitored my pregnancy until I gave birth.

Talk to your OBgyne and listen to their recommendations. You may also tell her about the prenatal vitamins that your friends told you that they may be able to help you compare and finally decide which prenatal vitamin is right for you. Best of all, eat a variety of healthy food such as fruits and vegetables, they are good for you and your baby.

Prenatal Vitamins

Posted on June 3, 2010 by Joy| 3 Comments

Much people say that taking supplements before conceiving will help in the prevention of many birth defects. Others say you can get profitable effects by continuing to take them after you have had your baby and during the time you are breastfeeding. Well, you should consult your doctor for more information on what is best for your particular case. They will even give you different samples to find the one that is best for you.

In my case while I’m conceiving my first baby I had my regular check up with my doctor just to make sure that the baby would be healthy while he is inside my womb and to prevent any complication. To keep my health I also took supplementary vitamins my doctor prescribed.

Finding the right vitamin may take a little trial and error, but the benefits are great. Just continue to keep in mind that you still need to maintain a healthy diet. The benefits of prenatal vitamins are enormous and highly recommended, but good nutrition is still better than any supplement.

What Is A Child?

Posted on September 14, 2009 by Joy| Comments Off

Children. They can either be legal or biological. Childhood offers a brief opportunity for parents and children to share intimate moments of love and respect. Time well spent with one’s child is an investment for the future.

So, What is a Child?

  • Fruit of marriage.  Married couples who love each other welcome the arrival of the fruit of their becoming one flesh.
  • Miracle of conception.  Not all wives are capable of conceiving . The Bible calls the sexual union of a couple as intimate knowing. Through this avenue, they can bear a child that will add joy to their relationship.
  • Bonding factor in marital affair. A child can either enhance and deepen the marriage relationship or become a headache to his or her parents. He or she is an antidote against a couple’s selfishness and self-centeredness. He or she is the cement that glues marital bonding.
  • Mentor in parenting. Couples can never learn the lessons of parenting without a child mentoring them.

PROUD PREGNANT

Posted on July 26, 2009 by Joy| Comments Off

I may have not tell you about how I felt when I learn tha I was pregnant.

Getting pregnant is every wives dream. As a woman we may be proud to say “I am pregnant!” and we feel complete. We would like to tell the whole world that we had live up to our essence and soon we’ll be a mother. Being pregnant is something that women should be thankful of for not all women get the opportunity of becoming a mother.

After my marriage I then longed to be pregnant. I was 28 then and I thought its just time for me to have a baby. But it took me more than 2 years to bore my precious one.  So when the time came that I learn that I was bearing a baby I was so excited and mystified. I was full of pride to have known that a baby is inside my womb. My tummy started to life-sized. I utterly expressed to my husband and some close friends what I felt and I told them that I am now complete.
