I am Pregnant! 3 Weeks and Counting :)

 *This is a pre-written backdated post written back in March 2012.

On 7 March 2012 was the day that I found out that I was pregnant. It was quite an eventful day and to some extent pretty funny. That day was suppose to be my first day of period, but out of fun, I did a self-test after lunchtime in my office toilet. Bought a cheapo tester from Watson and there was only one line. Honestly, I have been testing on and off when I thought that I could be pregnant but it always turned out to be one line, and then my aunty will come and visit that night itself *celaka betul*

Now what triggered me to "test for fun" this time round is that I somehow had a gut-feeling that I could be pregnant. Reason being I have been feeling slight nauseated occasionally, slight backache, and breast tenderness. Actually all are symptoms of PMS (except for the nauseousness). 

Anyway, back to the test, as I was about to throw the stick away, I noticed suddenly that there is another line which appeared. Very faint (refer to the picture above). I knew it was a 50-50 chance and I was excited, but at the same time didn't want to put my hopes too high. I promptly BBM Bear and decided that I should seek the consultation of a GP and confirm the test.

Waiting from noon in the office until evening when I can finally see the GP is torturing! It's the anticipation! Bear had to work late that night, so I went and the result came out ... POSITIVE! Was so happy that I cried by myself in the car. *paiseh .. I didn't cry in the clinic*

Made a few calls to our parents and close family members on the good news. But then again, me being the KPC that I am, went online and started reading that it could be a false pregnancy until you verify with the gynae la etc etc and it made me worried. Unnecessarily if I may add. 

The following day, we made an appointment with Dr Delaila. She's attached with SJMC (a place where I have earmarked to give birth loooonnggg time ago). And the beauty about her is that she is very gentle and answers all of your questions patiently. She may look ganas, but trust me she is not. :) Another plus point is that she has an evening clinic in SS19 (opens until 11:00pm) which is very convenient for my checkups. 

She scanned. And I was a nerve-wreck. The minute the precious little dot showed on the screen I breath a sigh of relieve. It's confirmed, and I am about 3 weeks plus into the pregnancy. :) My next scan will be on the 22 March to detect the heartbeat of the baby. I am still worried though (from the excessive reading) and I have decided to stop doing so and trust in God completely that He will protect and lead my through this pregnancy with ease and that my baby will be healthy and strong.

So everyone... may I present to you .. our little precious one :) (By the way, it is the tiny dot on the left of the scan)

Dear Lord, I couldn't thank You enough for blessing us with this child at such a timely manner. I trust that everything is in Your hands and You will keep and preserve the baby. I pray that You will strengthen me and the baby day by day. If God is for me, who can be against me? 

Love;
