Hello All,
LONG TIME NO SEE!
It's me again - as you can see the blog is now renamed and no longer about the tai-tai (wannabe)! Tai-tai life has been long gone (well, obviously - since the last post was on 1st nov 2016!) and surprise, surprise... it is now changed to a pregnancy diary - which is a serious topic in my book (I know, right?!).
So, I guess since this blog is now called a pregnancy journal, I should probably start with a story about how we both got to know thatsh* just got real in our lives we're pregnant - before my pregnancy brain fails me.
The story began when we decided to finally try to have a baby around July 2017 (around 3 months after my fibroid surgery). In August, being a naive lady that I am, I confidently thought that I would have gotten pregnant immediately (just like all those teenage girls! LOL), but nope! Period came on time and so did the cramp and the usual back-ache, etc.
Guess what - the same thing happened again the next month and I remembered I was feeling a little bit upset about it. So I decided to just wing it and stop thinking about it. On a positive note, I thought to myself, maybe it doesn't come easy to us, so it means we can enjoy the moment and do what DINK (Dual Income with No Kids) should do - like splurging on shoes (for me!) or upgrading our car to a two-seater sports car (for him!).
So when Rey told me that he wanted to upgrade our car before the emission surcharge kicked in the next year - I replied,"Up to you! Anyway we won't get pregnant so soon!" He then sent his order in like almost immediately (pretty sure, before I change my mind) and put down whatever deposit crap necessary - And tada... the car should have come in February. He was so looking forward to it.
Two weeks have passed (no day has passed without him showing me how the car would later look like, how beautiful the sound of engine was going to be, what rim colour he would choose, etc.!), my period was late for quite sometime already. However, I didn't actually thought of peeing on a stick yet, because I felt like my back hurt and honestly it felt like I could have gotten my period any day then.
However, on Sunday evening of 25th November 2017, I decided to just peed on a Watsons house brand stick (I am cheapo that way, after wasting 2 Clearblue pee sticks, I thought I wasn't going to pay more for just a pee stick!) - mainly because I wanted to book air tickets to go back to my hometown as well as to Scotland for Spring Holiday. So, if I were to spend that much of money, I thought I needed to be sure that I am not pregnant.
To my surprise - I got two lines on the stick!
Now, we really got caught off guard! I immediately showed it to the husband and he was like, "orh..."
I am not entirely sure what was going on in his mind that time.
I wasn't very convinced actually, so the next day I decided to buy a pack of two pee sticks from the brand Clearblue (Yes, I thought I need two, just in case!), and I still remembered so well I peed immediately in ION Orchard, right after I bought it and it still gives me the same result! So it finally hits me that things will get more serious from now on...
I made an appointment with my gynae, dr. Kelly Loi over the weekend and on Saturday, 2nd December 2017 - she confirmed that we're 6-week pregnant! Yiay!
So that's basically the start of the journey. I guess there will be more to come and more to record here, but we will do it one step at a time.
Though now we're trying to cancel/defer the car order (yes, husband is still not giving up on his dream car!); I guess we have come to term with the fact that life will be different from now on.
We are very excited to see how this journey will pan out.
PS: Before I go - since this little baby peanut is going to be born as Generation Z - again, it's only appropriate if I record anything digitally, so other than this blog, I took the liberty to set-up an instagram account called @ps.iloveu_baby -for any day-to-day updates when mummy is lazy to update the blog.
Ciao.
