1st addition

Finally, after a year's of wait and anticipation, here it comes surprising us. The timing is so right in God's hands. After i quit the teacher's job. After we had our 1st year anniversary honeymoon. After the hectic Chinese New Year schedules and celebrations and not to mention of the much drinkings involved. It arrives on time and it's to be expected to come to the world early Nov 2008. Just in time to catch the "rat tail" yes? I'm not those superstitious kind of person but I'm a Chinese so immediately those Chinese horoscopes flash thru my mind. Odd Chinese odd! Anyway, as long as the baby is healthy, all the others are nothing.

Looking back my previous post on 25th Feb, no wonder i hibernated A LOT! It was all due to hormonal changes in me. I sensed something wasn't right and with a long due menstrual, it triggered my suspicion for some pee sticks-testings. Never those pee sticks turned out to be so valuable and appealing in front of my eyes (and hubby's). We were all confirmed that i need some gynae-visit immediately the next day.

It wasn't long before my turn to be called into the room and straight ahead they laid me on the bed waiting for the gynae to ultrasound scan me. To our delight, a yolk sac was found. Tiny but visible to the machine. At the stage of 5w2d, everything was still too early to be seen. We saw nothing in the sac. Not even a dot. Nothing. This sunk my heart a little. But our gynae reassured us that a baby will be seen in there shortly (after 2 weeks wait) and that 2 weeks seemed like eternal for me.

Joy overflowed. Good news spread and we could wait no longer! Fine. We're a bit big mouth but we couldn't care less. We understand that since God provides, He will take care of the young one. With that faith, we broke the news to close friends, close relatives and of coz both sides parents and siblings were the first to know.

And I come to realise that a fact when someone is pregnant, every single individual besides her (no matter he/she is married or single or young or old or experienced or non-experienced) all becomes expert in pregnancy stuffs all of sudden. You'll get advises from head to heel of what to do/not to do or what to eat/not to eat or what to stay away from etc. Sometimes, it can be a bit overwhelming and of course, i appreciate every bits of them as they're all of good intention, aren't they?

So for the mean time, more hibernations are needed!
