The P in the NUT (Part 1)

Warning: This is gonna be a long grandmother story entry.

Okay, maybe it is too soon but the feeling of having a baby inside you is so how shud describe it. I'm now at my almost 7weeks pregnant. I'll change the ticker date. dunno how they calculate vs the doc calculation. well, it doesn't matter as long as my little one (MyLO) is healthy.

I had the symptoms of a being pregnant since the last 3 weeks but i ignored them. Talked to Mr Husband (MH) about it but he said "i think you nak period ni". ok, maybe. i was 1 week late then. but that was normal for me as i tend to have irregular period. then, delayed for another week, and then the nausea came along. this time MH thought maybe i slept too much and didn't do anything much around the house. ok, maybe. then, came the vomitting after every meal and i can't stand the cooking smell. after every meal, i have a sourish taste (i'm not sure if this shud be described as 'metallic' taste)in my mouth then the food just refused to go in. so, my instinct strongly suggest that i shud do the home pregnancy test. i wanted to do the test while MH is around so that he can check the result because i'll sure frust giler if the result is negative :).

we went to a pharmacy nearby. bought a digital clearblue test kit. the reason why i bought a digital one were:



1. it comes in a pack of two for BD6.2 whilst the manual one are being sold at BD3.2 for 1 and i need 2 of those

2. the result is displayed in words which is so 'cool' - pardon me on this one

Early on 1st May morning, dgn muka mengantuknya i went to do the test. 1st stick i peed on the stick. the monitor showed an hourglass indicating it is in process. but after a short while it showed a 'book' (ERROR! ~ book: refer to manual). Demmit! wasted jer. so, i read the manual. it says: maybe too little or too much urine applied. but how little is too little and how much is too much? well, speaking about the CONS of digital devicelah kan.

well, nvm i thought. i'll do another one. but only can be done in the afternoon cos i was OUT OF URINE! hahaha. by this time, friends send text sms already asking for the result. of which the funniest one was iena's:

" I WANT RESULT! I WANT RESULT!I WANT RESULT! *sambil membawa sepanduk* ~ what makes this text sms even funnier was i read the sepanduk as SENDUK! saya masih mengantuk ma!

the 2nd test i decided dip the stick in a urine container. and after about few minutes, MH went to check on the result. and it stated there "PREGNANT". i was screaming with joy. MH too (minus the screaming!). so, bermulalah sesi menghabiskan kredit hp utk menghantar sms kepada rakan taulan and sahabat handai. since the next day was friday we decided to visit a gynae on saturday.



i was assigned to Dr. Chettana under Dr. Dhaliwal Clinic in Ibn Al Nafees Hospital. baiknya doc tu. she was suprised when i told her that we were just married last march. she said "wow, seems like you've hit a jackpot". she asked some questions while i asked MANY questions in return. so did MH. and we did the ultrasound and heard the baby's heartbeat for the 1st time. The feeling? Lovely, that i can't help my tears to pour down my cheeks.


At 6wks4days old; 7.3mm long; expected due date: 23Dec08
* the baby is the one measured and not the white thing that popped out (yolk sac) and the black one (my uterus ~ i guessla lol!)
