Hailey is a very active baby. When she moves in my tummy, her movements are so strong. I sometimes get poked on the ribs. She's usually very active towards midnight.
When I was at the hospital and had a fetal monitor attached to me. she kept on moving that it was difficult to hear her heartbeat. The monitor kept on slipping off my tummy because of her movements that's why someone had to hold it in place.
I wonder if she will be this active when she comes out. Will she be a hyper baby? I will just have to wait and see. Just a few more weeks till we see Hailey.

Spotting and Contractions
I went to the delivery room yesterday to have myself checked because I had spotting yesterday afternoon. My mom, Griffin and I left at around 6 pm. I did not expect to be there till after midnight neither did I expect that I would be admitted. The main problem was because of the moderate contractions I was experiencing. I was injected brikanil twice but after 15 to 20 minutes there would be a spike again. I kept on praying that there would no longer be moderate contractions so that I could go home already.
Poor Griffin, he waited for me for so long until he got sleepy, so my mom had to bring him home. He was left with Auntie Pebbles and Tai-ma while my mom went back to the hospital and waited for Willie to come. When my mom got back, Griffin was really sleepy so they went home until he eventually fell asleep. I was really worried that he would get up in the wee hours of the morning looking for me since it's the first time that he has slept without me by his side. He slept through the night. When Willie came back for him this morning, he was still asleep, when he eventually woke up he was crying. Willie was telling him that they would go see me and it would be like a hotel room. He did not want to go because he felt bad. When I talked to him on the phone he told me, "Why are you taking so long?". It's the first time we've ever been apart for a very long time. I told him to come and see me. He was a happy little boy already when he arrived at the hospital. He loved playing with the bed. When we were about to leave, he even said, "I'm going to miss this place".
I was fortunately allowed to go home this afternoon. I had an ultrasound and everything was fine. I was given duvadilan for the contractions and an antibiotic for the UTI. Now, I have to be really careful with what I do, I have to limit moving around so much, so as not to get tired and stress myself. This is quite hard to do when I have to play with Griffin and clean up his mess everyday, but I won't tire myself anymore, I don't want to give birth prematurely. Hoping everything would be fine with this pregnancy until around the third week of May when I would be 37 weeks already and could probably give birth through c-section.

Big Tummy
Just this morning, while Griffin was hugging my tummy, he said, " Mommy, I love your big tummy. If you don't have a big tummy, I don't like it anymore, but I still love you!"

Easter Egg Hunt
Yesterday, we decorated some eggs which we were going to use for the Easter egg hunt. Griffin still remembers decorating the eggs last year, he even told me that we were going to do it in the lanai like last year.
Griffin had his Easter egg hunt this morning. I placed the eggs where he could easily see them. I did not actually hide them. He found the eggs really quickly unlike last year when I still had to show him where the eggs were. Of course, after the egg hunt, he got some prizes for finding all the eggs.

Swimming at Makati Shangri-la
It has been two years since Griffin last swam in a big pool. This morning Griffin and I went to Makati Shangri-la to have a swim. I used my voucher for a one week free trial of their health club. We arrived a few minutes past eight, got dressed then went straight to the pool. At first I gave him his swim ring but the swim ring was too big for him that's why he had a hard time holding on to it. I asked him if he wanted to try his floating vest, he agreed, so I put it on him. Initially, he was kind of scared of letting go of me. After a while though, he got the hang of it and would confidently tread around the big pool. We were at the pool for almost 3 hours. Griffin told me, he had so much fun swimming.
