I was sick since I came back from our family trip to Redang Island.
On the 1st day to Redang, I felt so lethargic and slept throughout the day. At first, I thought that was bcoz I didnt sleep well the night before, suffered from the sea-sick and of course I blamed partly on the condition of the hotel I stayed (Its sucks, I was like staying in a military camp). 2nd day I felt much better and regained some energy...
Came back from the trip, I still haunted by sea-sick and seriously felt the world is spinning and eyesight became blur... Again, I blamed for the boat-ride to Redang Island...... At the same time, I had a severe cough for more than 2 weeks followed by a stomach upset. There have been so many "hints" yet I didnt realise..
Hint #1 : my appetite grew. I ate more than usual (although I memang a big eater). I ate two bowls of rice for dinners. Shortly after, I asked darling to ta pow supper.. (This is why darling kept blaming me for over-eating until stomach upset).
Hint #2 : Stomach upset which made me cannot sleep well. This is serious knowing that I can sleep like a pig (my friends recognise me as sleeping beauty).
Hint #3 : Dizzy continued even weeks after I came back from my island trip.
Hint #4 : My stomach bloated...
Hint #5 : My menstrual period was late (The most apparent sign) !! But because I had a record of 22 days delayed, so I didnt pay attention..
WHAT A CARELESS ME !!!
Until one day, my intuition urged me and I went to a pharmacy nearby, I bought a pregnancy test kit. I didnt tell darling abt it. At night, I didnt it quietly in toilet. Carefully I read the instructions on the kit : one line appear means negative (that represents control line); two lines means positive (one for test line and one for control line); no line means invalid test. I transferred few droplets of urine into the sample well. Arrrrrr....... it took no more than 3 seconds, two obvious lines appeared....My heart pounded super fast at the moment.
I didnt tell darling forthwith. I let him first finished his shower until he is ready, I hugged him tightly and whispered at his ear "darling, u r going to become daddy liao." Darling like didnt catch it and show not much of surprise and excitement. However, both of us still doubt with test result and its accuracy.
Next day, darling brought me another pregnancy test kit which is at Kepong house. So I did a test again. I refused to let him came into toilet with me and let him waited outside (at my Cheras house). This time, the kit is slightly different, I had to pee directly on the sample tip. It took longer time to show result than the previous.. "dup dup.. dup dup.. dup dup..." I was confused. I actually prayed for positive or negative.. Its complicated. One hand I am expecting for positive, coz that means a new life is inside my belly, baby of me and darling; on the other, I hope it is negative coz I am not readily prepare for that... "Bang.. Bang.. （banging on the door) 老婆, how ? 老婆 open the door, let me in.. 老婆 quick, tell me how, open the door, let me see..." Darling fished my drawer looking for toilet door key.. "Wait wait... I havent done" I replied. Then result showed. Two lines..
Finally, I opened the door, showed him the test kit. Now, he was the one super excited. We are going to become daddy and mummy liao...

My words to my baby :
Baby, baby, 09/07/2012 was the day mummy discovered your presence. U have silently growing in mummy's womb without mummy realizing it.. you hinted so many times, yet mummy didnt notice. Thank god, u have been growing safely even after so many sports activities (snorkelling, canoeing, bowling).
daddy kept scolding mummy for being so careless. He said you first experienced an earth-quake for two weeks (due to the severe cough) and then fasting for two weeks (consequence of the stomach upset). Daddy said you are his champion baby coz u survived with such a flimsy fertilization chance (no worries, daddy n mummy are healthy but our counts of xxxxx (18 SX) are so little and after so many incidents.
