Health plans
The sudden death of our wedding godparents’ daughter-in-law made me realize LIFE is INDEED SHORT. She was so young and in her prime. But hours after giving birth to her second son, she passed away. Everybody was shocked. I may not be too close to her but I was so affected, especially upon seeing his husband and their eldest son who is one year and five months.
That pushed me to ask Ace what if I will have the same fate as Lucille? What will he do? Ace, who is also in denial of what happened, cannot give me a straightforward answer. To prevent the same incident to happen, I would really need to be very careful especially when I am expecting. And a comprehensive health plan like that of Blue Cross of NC will be a great help. I just hope that they are different with other companies that list down pregnancy-related cases to be an exception from the coverage. This is a must now that Ace resigned from his job and is not enjoying the health benefits that his former employer offers.
Let’s see what we can do with that concern later. I’ll definitely deal with that after we’re settled in our new house.
Strawberries from Baguio!
These are freshly-picked strawberries from the strawberry farm in La Trinidad, Benguet.
A friend said strawberry fruit is rich in Folic Acid (that’s what I need in preparation for conceiving!). Sadly, we seldom see strawberries here in the market so I will resort to taking folic acid capsules instead of eating fresh strawberries. I want to do the latter because aside from the Folic Acid that I would benefit from eating strawberry fruits, my body would also benefit from other vitamins and minerals from the fresh fruit. Besides, it is rich is fiber so it’s a good alternative for safe weight loss pills that will cleanse my colon and keep my appetite at bay. Wish I could just plant strawberry in the backyard so I can have fresh strawberries anytime I want.
Multivitamin
Lately I don’t feel too exhausted after a long day of being busy or just doing not so important things. Thanks to the multivitamin that I am taking every day. I sometimes don’t feel like taking it though because the capsule is too huge that I would sometime want to puke when I can hardly swallow it. Mine is bigger than Ace’ multivitamins! Next time I’ll get the vitamins that are not too large for my throat. Also, I prefer soft gels than capsules. Wish my preferred brand will manufacture multivitamins in soft gel or I’ll go back to taking the brand that I was taking when I was still in school.
Thanks anyway to a good friend who walked three blocks just to get my orders of multivitamins during her lunch break.
