The Discovery

We have been trying for #2 for a rather long time and invested in many ClearBlue test kits but it's always a negative so I have stopped testing for some time.

During the last two weeks of our stay in Australia, I had been feeling queasy all the time but I thought I was just tired from too much touring. A week more after returning to Singapore, I still felt tired and queasy. So just days before my birthday (mid April), it suddenly occurred to me that I might be pregnant.

I looked at my last box of ClearBlue. The expiry is just a few months later so I thought why not. I'm pretty numb to a negative result so it wouldn't affect my birthday mood but if it's positive I'll have more reasons to celebrate.

Expecting yet another negative result, I paused for some time when I saw a positive sign. I'm a pro at using home pregnancy kit by now but I suddenly felt the need to read the leaflet within the box to make sure that I read the result correctly. Next thing, I took a photo and MMS to hubby and then I started crying.

For my first pregnancy, when I discovered I was expecting Ryan, I didn't feel extremely happy. I was actually a little scared as I don't know what to expect being a 1st time pregger then. Plus I always have a fear of being in hospital. Not like visiting people but like being admitted into hospital. I'm paranoid that freak accidents might fall upon me, like wound infections or excessive bleeding or someone left a pair of scissors inside me ,etc, stuffs like that.

This time round, I was overwhelmed with emotions. After trying for so long, I thought I might never have another baby. At times I felt sorry that Ryan might not have any sibling to play with. And guess what? Some things are really cliche!! Just like in tv or how people advises, when you don't think about it, you just might have that baby.

So anyway, the box of ClearBlue I bought has 2 test kits. I didn't want to get my hopes too high so I decided to use the remaining test kit the next morning to make sure the first result is not incorrect because it was going to expire. After the second positive result I then made an appointment with my obgyn to double-stamped confirm my pregnancy with an ultrasound scan. Hahaha! I feel the need to see the little 'blob' on the monitor and hear my doc says "Congrats" to us. Kiasu lah! So when we stepped out of the clinic with a printed copy of the ultrasound, we phoned both our moms to spread the news. (^^,)
