Last Wednesday nagising ako because my right eye was aching. Normally when on a night shift, I would wake up at 6pm pero napaaga. I went to see how it looks on my mirror…and I was in great shock… it was swollen. I immediately could our office to notify that I will not be reporting from work. Who would want to go to office?

Anyways, I am now enjoying looking at other people ng hindi nahihiya sa itsura ko. Magaling na kasi.

But counting a few more weeks and you’ll see another part of my body swollen and getting bigger and bigger. It’s my TUMMY! Praise God…we’re PREGNANT!!!

I was delayed for 6 days. And then, for 2 nights I was having abdominal pains. Actually upto now. Tuesday afternoon, I thought I had my monthly period already but I was wrong. So I decided to buy a pregnancy test kit last Thursday. Kahit na me hint nako na baka nga pregnant nako. Inalis ko muna sa mind ko because I took the same test last month and it was negative. Before doing it and seeing the result, I prayed. Whatever the result is, I’ll accept it whole heartedly. After 3 minutes I looked at the result…I saw 2 purple lines. Although, I already studied the kit before taking the test, I looked at the manual again…it says 2 purple lines means POSITIVE. Pagkatapos nun, hindi ko maexplain yung totoong nafeel ko ang alam kulang umiiyak ako habang nagprapray. I thanked him for the greatest blessing a parent could ever receive…a child.

Before, deciding to tell my mom, paulit ulit kong tinitignan yung kit and the result. Trying to compare it from the previous result I had dahil baka nagkakamali lang ako. Thank God hindi naman nagbabago. I told my mom first coz I want to surprise Ton and the rest of the family. Sabi ni ma wag na muna daw sabihin hanggat hindi pa kinoconfirm talaga ng O.B. that I was indeed pregnant. Kaya nagplano kami na pumunta muna sa doctor. Tama sya, I don’t wanna spoil the news to them and our close friends just because I got it all wrong.

After going to Medical City, I just rest for a while then prepared a card for Ton para sabihin ang magandang balita with the results inside it.

As soon as he arrived from work, I told him that I needed to talk to him. I know he doesn’t have any idea what was coming coz he thought I just had my monthly period. I gave him the card. He opened it and got curious with what was inside it. The rest is history…basta he was smiling all night. That same smile I saw after ko sya sinagot 5 years ago. He’s definitely a proud daddy.

Please pray for me, delikado raw ng konti ang pagbubuntis ko because of the constant abdominal pain I am having. But for our baby, I’ll do my best to be strong.
