Good Surprise

February 7, 2010

I started the day by going to my 4th day of driving session. Dan and I were a bit miffed that the previous instructor had made a big fuss about Dan coming with me to yesterday's session instead of just telling us point blank that he wasn't allowed to come. I met Dan after my 2-hour drive, reminded him that it's been a week since the day I should've gotten my period and that there were weird twitches in my tummy that was making me think I might be sick.

After much deliberation on which PT to get, I decided to just get a cheap one thinking that if it turned out negative, at least I didn't spend a lot of money just to get disappointed. So we drove home and though a part of my brain had AGAIN started hoping that 'this might be it', we both acted nonchalant about the entire thing. Though through the silence we knew that while we were silencing that part, it was actually just starting to scream louder and louder.

I decided to go through the test right away just to get over it and move on with our lives. One drop and one line had auspiciously began to form prominently while a second line was forming faintly. I noticed there weren't enough so I dropped some more and true enough, it was staring right back at me; 2 distinct lines telling me our good news.

I called Dan who was currently minding the car and I was debating with myself on whether I should keep it to myself first or tell him immediately. When he came up to our room, I pointed at the test results sitting on the table beside our TV and for a few seconds, he just stood there motionlessly while digesting this new information. Once he found himself breathing, he gave me a hug and I felt the goose bumps in his arms. Though we were praing for it, our blessing still came as a surprise to us.

My sister in law told us to see a doctor right away. I was all for it since a part of me was scared that the test may be bogus due to its relatively cheap price. The OB confirmed my pregnancy and told me that based on my LMP, I was 5 1/2 weeks on my way already. She advised me to go for a TVS though just to be sure that my baby was inside my uterus. This was because I told her of the twitches that I was feeling.
