Getting Busy this Quarantine

          My OB doctor advised me to be on bed rest because my pregnancy is considered high-risk. These past few days, I like watching religious films. My husband and I recently watched Ben-Hur, and I found spiritual gems online like The Catholic Talk Show, and I also started to watch the popular series The Chosen. 

I also finished a course and recently got my certificate from the Liturgical Institute. I am so happy because finally I have a Roman Catholic course that I have finished. I did a few Protestant Bible and theology studies before at Ligonier Connect. 

I also bought another book, Understanding the Scriptures, a textbook by Scott Hahn, and by another author. (I am sorry I forgot the name). It is a bit expensive, and I spent the money from the books that I sold online. This is a very good book, companion to the Bible. If you are having a hard time understanding the Bible, you should get a copy of this. I am currently selling books that I have, mostly Protestant and non-fiction books which are all still in good condition, and others are unopened and still good as new. 

I hope to make this quarantine season from pandemic worthwhile, and I hope the growing baby in my tummy will also have similar hobbies like his/her mom.

Unexpected Gift!

           Last March 6, we received the best ever news that we've got! I'm pregnant. During that time, I was 5 weeks pregnant already and I did not know it. The previous month has been hard for me because my workmate has been absent for quite awhile due to pregnancy also. It has been very stressful at work and being the lone person in the frontline services is really hard, especially during this pandemic. My co-worker, and friend at the office would sometimes help me in the afternoon wherein many people would come and file their pleadings or cases. 

I never thought that I would get pregnant so easily, we just got married last year in October and now I am on my 10th week! Also, its not that easy to get pregnant that fast, since there are many factors to consider. I am not that young anymore, and at my age I am already considered as a high-risk. The day before I found out I was pregnant I was feeling really tired, and I've had a very bad stomach cramps, feels like you are going to have your monthly period. I contacted my OB gyne doctor and she said to take a pregnancy test. I was not that hopeful because I have had negative results before. My husband and I prayed. I noticed my husband was anxious, and then he showed me the test, it has 2 lines, positive. I cried because I never thought that I am pregnant. We thank God from our hearts, this is indeed one milestone in our marriage that we will never forget. It is not easy being pregnant, but I will bear it all for love, and with our Lord God's blessing, and guidance.
