Another Blessing

Sooo... Last time I posted here I was busy preparing for our little man Zeb Gavin's 1st birthday party. Little did I know, there's an even bigger and more exciting news coming our way...Yes, you guessed it right - we're having another baby!!!

Last Jan 14 and 15 was my hubby and I's birthdays (yes we were born just one day apart... ain't that cool?) Anyway, since hubby's birthday fell on a Wednesday, he decided to just take a leave from work on Thursday instead, that way we can have a 4-day long weekend celebration.

On the 15th we went to Resorts World Sentosa and checked in at our usual lodging place - Costa Sands (where Zeb was made, haha!). That day went smoothly. Next day we checked out then headed to the mall and did some window shopping. We took a cab on our way back home and then I suddenly felt nauseous like I wanted to vomit but of course I didn't want to. So I just closed my eyes and kept sniffing hubby's Vicks inhaler to take the nausea away. 

The next day, 17th January, we needed to do some errands at Ikea. We took a cab again going to and from the place and felt nauseous once again and when I reached home, I had a terrible headache! I thought it would be gone after I sleep it off but no - it was still there even until the next day! This time I was already suspecting that it might be pregnancy symptoms. Although I was really hesitant to believe that I could be pregnant because I didn't have my AF last December hence, no egg was released - or so I thought. 

Finally on the 18th, after having our breakfast we decided to make a pit stop at a pharmacy and pick up a pregnancy test but didn't use it until the next day because I wanted to use my FMU (first morning urine) just to be sure. 

So on the 19th of January, as soon as I opened my eyes I went straight to the toilet and peed on the stick. There was no waiting involved... two lines immediately showed up! I went back to our room with a poker face then hubby asked "positive?" I non-chalantly replied "we need to wait 5 minutes" then BAM! I showed the test smiling from ear to ear. But my naive husband didn't know what it meant so I had to tell him "buntis ako!!!" Haha!

On a serious note, so many things came flashing to my mind as soon as I saw the two lines. To be honest, I also felt scared and worried even until now. Of course I worry for my body's health. I don't know if it has recovered fully from my CS with Zeb. I worry that I might not be able to fully take care and cope up with him especially when my tummy gets bigger. I worry about our finances. I am just plain worried. But at the end of the day, we are very grateful for this new blessing from above and we couldn't be more excited to be a family of four on September!
