I''''m originally from the Philippines but have been living in 3 different countries for the past 8 years (Thailand, Viet Nam and now, Spain). I met my husband in Bangkok in 1998 during a 3-year teaching stint and we''ve been together since then (2 years married, 8 years together) We''re expecting a little boy to join our family (me, my husband, and dog, Thomas), in August on a beautiful summer''s day. Call me a bit naive, but I never really thought pregnancy (or the coming of a baby boy) would turn my life up side down and inside out. Despite all the changes though, I''m enjoying pregnancy a lot. And just making the most of ordering my husband around ("I''m pregnant, I can''''t do it sweetheart. Why dont you cook me dinner tonight? etc.") while it lasts. Both my parents have passed on and in a way, I feel like it''''s a bit unfair for me not to have a mother/father to ask questions regarding pregnancy or being a parent. But it''''s not all a lost cause. I am lucky enough to have in-laws who I get along with. And now, I''''ve got Minti to ask advice from. Who hoo!
