Okay so we weren't busy with the house but with our little junior actually. And we didn't want to say anything until we have (Alhamdulilah) crossed over to the second trimester. So sorry for the MIA / BS okay? Hope you will enjoy our #kattkrownjr journey.

If you're reading this, our first trimester is over and we are currently on our second trimester.
The story behind our unexpected pregnancy:
You know when they say it happens when you least expect it? This pregnancy is super unexpected. I remember crying the first time (well second, because I had my period just before flying off for our honeymoon) when I was one day late. Last month, I had been having "pregnancy symptoms" like nausea and felt extremely tired that I was convinced in my head that I was pregnant. So when I was a day late, I was excited. Peed on a Watsons pregnancy test kit (yes, we already bought one), and came back negative. Baobei was super sweet, he hugged me back to sleep. I went for tuition. After tuition, I felt cramps and found out I got my period. So I was making peace with myself that we are not pregnant on the way home. But when I went home for lunch and Baobei hugged me, I cried. I actually freaking cried. It is not as easy as people think. It is not having unprotected sex and we can pregnant next month. Up til I got married, I have no idea that we only have 24-hour window to have get the sperm to reach the egg. So anyway, I have this app called "What's To Expect- Fertility" where I keep track of my period and my fertile week. It looks like this:
Pink is period
Green is fertile week
Dark green is most likely to ovulate aka 24-hour window
The fertile week in Feb, Baobei was caught up being nervous about his 2A Traffic Police Test so we didn't have much baby-making time. So I have already mentally prepared myself that we were not going to be pregnant in March.
This is my March calendar.
We will be going to Phuket, Thailand for our second "honeymoon" / short break today, which we booked while we still in Gold Coast, so I was telling Baobei that my menses will be over by the time we are at Phuket. And when we were at his parents' on last Sunday (8/3), his parents had "the talk" with us because they thought the reason we are not pregnant yet is because we were planning. Ibu was "Petua nyer, lepas uzur dan mandi bersih, bersatu."
But Monday, no period. No signs, whatsoever. I was okay, menses are going to be late because like I said, we didn't have much baby-making time during the time I was fertile. By Wednesday, I was a bit hopeful but didn't want to say out aloud because I am afraid to jinx it (except to Baobei, Mama and Kakak).
Thursday and 3 days late. Nausea was more frequent as compared to yesterday, have lower abdomen cramps and had to keep peeing all the time (super annoying!). Baobei actually felt nausea after dinner (which is what I had for the last 2 days!) so we made a decision to test on Friday. Friday is a good day to test right? We went to NTUC to get a pregnancy kit because we can't find the other Watsons stick from last month.
Costly eh this Clearblue Compact?
$14 for one stick only.
So I set alarm on Friday at 5.17am. I didn't want to be so disappointed like the last time round. It was crazy, to wait for me to be 4 days late to test. So I went to pee by myself because if it is negative, I can calm myself down first. I peed and by the time I washed up, I took the stick back to our room to look at it together with my sleeping Baobei. Saw a super, super faint second line but the results is valid after 3 minutes and before 10 minutes of the peeing on the stick (for Clearblue compact). I still didn't want to be hopeful yet. After 3 minutes I woke Baobei up and we looked at it together:
TWO LINES!
Baobei was "What does it mean? Why is it so faint?"
I said, "It means we are pregnant."
The website says no matter how faint or dark it is, if there are 2 lines, it means you are pregnant. So happy for this unexpected news! Syukur Alhamdulilah. I went to my parents room and woke them up at 5.30am! Their blur but happy faces were amazing. Will never forget that: My husband's smile and our kiss and my parents' faces!
Yes we are pregnant.
Not sure what's the next step so I met Mama after work (Baobei was at work) and we went to my family doctor who suggested polyclinic for referral. But we were sill undecided if we wanted to go private or KKH. Made an appointment at Ang Mo Kio Polyclinic after lunch where we met Mak, Cik Boy and Aunty Jannah who told us about their gynae, Asst Prof Han who is attached to KKH Clinic at Ang Mo Kio (which means we will deliver in KKH):
So appointment today is 14/03/2015 at 1pm.
(which while blogging, Prof Han is called in for surgery and we changed it Wednesday, 18/3 at 6.50pm after we are back from Phuket)
On the way home, we wanted to double confirm the pregnancy so Mama belanja pregnancy test kit, Clearblue Pregnancy Test, haha. Since the indicator if we are pregnant is clearer as compared to 2 lines. Luckily ada 20% discount!
Since I am 4 days late, I don't have to wait for morning pee aka first pee in the morning.
I was surprisingly nervous since I had a faint line in the morning.
Results:
Definitely pregnant.
Syukur Alhamdulilah for this wonderful miracle Allah for my husband and I. My cousin, Kak E, was telling me that there will be scan so we will get to see you our lil Raja in scans... so you know what's the next update about huh?
