The test was taken last May 8. It took a while for me to post the news here coz I really wanna finish all the wedding related kuwentos before I go ahead with the baby announcement. But heck, I just can't wait! :)

So, how did we know about it? We were scheduled for a Tagaytay outing second week of May so I was really expecting for my period to come a week prior to our trip. My cycle is quite normal so I could almost guess when this month's period will come. Days passed and still my period didn't come. I started to suspect... but quickly denied the idea coz I felt unprepared. A week after, Dex got sick due to high fever. We went to the doctor and was given a couple of medications. While we were buying medicine at the drug store, I asked Dex maybe it's time to buy an HCG kit. The next morning, I woke up early and did the test. I was nervous and couldn't bare to look at the results. But alas, the 2nd line was as clear as a pen mark. We went to the OB a few hours later and I showed her the HCG result I got earlier in the morning. Here's what she said "buntis na buntis ka na nga, sure na yan!" without taking a second test, whatsoever. Reason being, the lines were so clear!

How do I feel? Sleepy, sleepy, and sleepy. I had cravings for sour food the week I was expecting my period. But it only lasted a week. I feel bloated most of the time but not to the point of throwing up. I just burp and fart any time and anywhere! *LOL* Friends say I'm blessed coz peanut doesn't give me a hard time. I hope so, but still I feel tired everyday.

Am I ready? Well, to be honest, I wasn't exceptionally excited the moment I knew I was pregnant. I know it's so bad of me, but I really feel it's not yet the right time. There are things I wanted to do and plans we have made for the upcoming months. Our application for migration visa to Canada's gonna be out soon, so all the happenings made me really confused. What are we to do next? Am I gonna deliver the baby here or there? What to do? What to do? I was even depressed for some time. They say it's pregnancy depression (much like post-partum). Dex, on the other hand, feels so happy about the coming of peanut. He's been talking me into having a baby since we got married. I feel better right now. I guess I was just shocked with the news. Friends were telling me we're very fortunate to receive a gift from God. Yes, indeed. I feel very thankful for this wonderful surprise. :)

I'm on my 9th week now and the expected due date will be on January 9, 2008. But I could probably deliver 2 weeks before or after the expected date. Sana aabot pa sa January 21! *LOL* Wag lang sana Christmas or New Year! Please please!

I'm starting to read up on pregnancy stuff (thus lesser blog time) and this is what I'm reading now. Not the exact edition coz I only borrowed a copy from my sister-in-law which was purchased a couple of years back.
