It was the 17th of April when we found out we were pregnant. It was after a disappointing day of having a little bleeding when I finally gave in and got a pregnancy test kit to find out.
I was supposed to get my period last April 6. When I did not get it, I decided to wait until the 15th before jumping to conclusions. We already waited two years and finding out if I am pregnant can wait for 9 more days. The 15th arrived and I bought the kit. But still did not want to find out. I was afraid to be disappointed.
The next day though, after taking a bath in the morning I had what appeared to be bleeding. I just kept mum. Didn't tell Mon about it, went to work and just had a normal working day. But... I was worried.
The next day, I decided to do the pregnancy test. I might be miscarriaging and not know it! It was positive. I had mixed emotions upon seeing the double red lines on that test kit. I was so happy yet I was afraid that I might have blown it with the bleeding and all.
I called up my cousin Ate Tshombee immediately. She advised me to see an OB before jumping to conclusions. And so I did.
After a long time waiting in the Doctor's waiting area, I was finally called. I was number 15 on the list and I killed the time reading about Britney and Lindsay Lohan in People Magazine.
The doctor was very kind and approachable. She did an ultrasound and she said I am now on my 6th week. My EDC is December 13, 2008. There is a heartbeat already. 118 heartbeats per minute. Tao na! I was so pleased. The doctor also gave me some shots to keep the baby.
Upon going home, I immediately looked for my feng shui calendar and found out I am going to have a baby boy. Of course, that still remains to be seen.
Now I am on my 8th week and although I am still on bed rest, I am doing fine.
