I knew You Were Here!

This is almost a month too late, but I have decided to start posting these blogs about my new adventure to write down my thoughts, otherwise I'm gonna go crazy! So here's how it all started...


January 16, 2013

 

 

My husband and I arrived two days before (14th) from Dubai for a week-long holiday. On that particular Wednesday the 16th, we were in a hospital accompanying my mom-in-law for her session, and by lunchtime we had to go to the nearby mall to eat.

 

To buy some time, I urged my hubby that I should probably take a pregnancy test. Just like that, out of the blue, LOL. The thing is I've had this gut feeling for a month now, but I have always been irregular on my periods so twas a thought that was crossing my mind but wasn't fully entertaining. He was worried that I would get depressed (again) if it was negative so it took some time badgering him.  I told him it couldn't have been a more perfect timing: we were just lounging around in a busy mall at a lunch hour and I sincerely didn't want to make a big deal out of it (you can imagine the countless times for the past two years I orchestrated these surprise plans of telling him the good news whenever I was delayed and I would take the test and it would be Negative; it got to a point that it was too heartbreaking for me).  I knew he was worried for me. Told him I could handle it, twas just a simple test no big deal, just to get it off my mind. Until he finally agreed with a promise from me that if I "flunked" the test (i.e get another Negative), we were gonna drink that night, to which I agreed heartily hahah :P

 

So we bought the cheapest pregnancy kit (my call), and I went straight to the Ladies Room to do my business. I was just staring at the sticky thingy (impatiently) when I saw the first line, to which I just thought, here we go again, just one line for me... And then like a suspense movie, I slowly saw a SECOND line! I couldn't believe it, I almost dropped the thing! OMYGOD! Was I imagining this?? I was just looking at it and I could feel my eyes were getting bigger and my heart was beating faster... Was this for real?? It was the oddest place but I started crying... It took at least 5 minutes before I gathered myself, and quickly went out to meet my husband who was boredly waiting for me. When he saw my face he got so pale even though I wasn't saying anything.. I just hugged him tight and started crying. Yes, in the mall. People were looking at us, nosy strangers, but I didn't care. And I knew he knew what it all meant. He was so lost for words too, and finally grabbed the kit from me, and I started chanting, "Positive hon, POSITIVE!". To which he just replied, "Magiging Mommy and Daddy na tayo?!"

Everything happened so fast then. He wanted to go to a doctor right away, but I wanted to be 200% SURE. So I told him I wanted ANOTHER pregnancy test (with a better kit this time, meaning a more expensive one LOL), before going to an OB. Of course, the Second Kit gave the same amazing results.  We had to wait for our mom to finish at the hospital, and I still couldn't believe it that :D I persuaded him to let me take a last Pregnancy Test by taking my BLOOD sample at the clinic inside the mall. After waiting almost an hour for the Lab results, hon took the envelope containing the Lab result from me coz my hands were shaking hahha.. Again, it was POSITIVE. I literally JUMPED up and down like a kid at the clinic door that E had to calm me down. It was the best day ever!  All I could think of was I knew it! I knew it! I knew it!

 



The "infamous" Pregnancy sticks (with our wedding rings..): POSITIVE!

Most of our loved ones are well aware of the fact that I miscarried and lost our first baby two years ago, January 2011. She was only 7 weeks old. It was one of the most traumatic experiences of my life... God knows how hurt we were, and we have been trying to have a baby since... Now that it's all happening again, I just can't contain my joy! We are both so over the moon with this! We love her too much already!

 

 
 


Welcome BACK baby E!!!

 
The best part is it was our 33rd wedding monthsary. It was the BEST day ever. We're so happy she's back... :D
