My First Lowkey Pregnancy Announcement in El Nido, Palawan

It's autumn season now here in France, and I miss the summer weather in the Philippines.

I have so many photos of our trip in the past.

But one of my favorite moments captured on camera was the day after I learned I was pregnant.

We were in El Nido, Palawan for a vacation.

And we stayed about three weeks in El Nido.

I was very sick few days ago only to confirm that I was pregnant.

Nobody knew I was pregnant except from a friend in Palawan.

Nobody in my family or even my sister knew I was pregnant.

I kept it a secret.

I wasn't ready to tell everybody.

But I made hints on Facebook as a joke that I was craving chicken soup with malunggay, fried fish, pork sinigang, and other typical Filipino food.

The original plan was to stay 4 weeks in El Nido but we decided to go back to Puerto Princesa a week before for a check-up.

So, I was 8 weeks pregnant in El Nido but the baby was made in Bali, Indonesia.

We were freediving in Bali, Indonesia, flew to Singapore and stayed for a week, then spent two months in Palawan, Philippines.

We did a lot of island hopping in El Nido, Palawan.

But most of the time, I had morning sickness and became moody because of hormone changes.

I became irritable, too.

I never thought that being pregnant would make you change real quick.

Part of me was really happy because I thought I would never be pregnant.

Another part of me was sad because my mom died 5 months ago before I got pregnant.

She never had the chance to see my kids but I hope she still looks after me and the kids as our guardian angel. <3

See you on the next blog.

Ciao!
