It's Positive!!!

After months of anticipating and waiting and few down times my much awaited period never came. I was hesitant to take the home pregnancy test because I got so down when I first took the courage to do it and gave me a negative result later on. It felt like a big dagger stabbed my heart, yes indeed very depressing. What can I do, false alarm. I knew that time I might not be preggy yet but I just couldn't fight my curiosity. There were some signs that lead me to think I might be so I was trying to keep my hopes up. Not that we're being to excited and rushing too much to conceive, we were having some time pressures also. Hubs' papa will be coming back here and staying with us by May and then the rest of his family (mom, bro & sis) by June. We knew having everybody around will give us slimmer chances of having our little time of privacy in which we all know is very important to any couple.

Mother's day passed and still no luck, I didn't even bothered testing having a very evident sign that I haven't conceived yet. I was kind of hoping I can celebrate my first mother's day though somehow I did, my bro greeted me happy mother's day for being a mom to his Elisse. That somehow lifted my spirit. Another month passed and soon it was Father's Day. This time I was really eager to know since I missed my period on the day it should come... eager to at least be part of this father's day celebration for my husband. This time I have decided to do the test and the result was very pleasant. 2 lines finally, very bold and clear. Despite the positive result, we didn't fully rejoice and still decided to wait for several days and re-test. Now I know how uplifting it could be to get the result you're wishing for. My greatest dream to be a mom someday will come true in few more months!

Not really knowing how I should handle the result, we decided to keep the news to ourselves for the meantime. As I was told by a friend it's not so good to announce it right away during the first 2 months. I simply shared the news to my bestfriend and personal OB-GYN doctor back home, as much as I want to spill the news I simply can't. Hubs and I agreed that we will be final with the pregnancy once we 're done with the medical matters and ultrasound. I had my initial care from my doctor, she's very nice to keep in touch with me though email and entertain my overseas calls.
