And Its Positive!!!

We tested last night and its POSITIVE!!! Definitely!!! 2 bold blue lines stared back at us from the pregnancy test kit and no two lines looked more beautiful to us than those two. And we are deliriously HAPPY. He started kissing my tummy and we kssed and hugged. This is certainly the best news we have ever had. Though we have not been stressed up by it, we have most certainly been waiting for this wonderful new phase of our life. We wanted to keep mum about it at first but good news is meant to be shared so we told Umi and she is equally ecstatic. So was M when I sms-ed her. We'll wait for the doctor's confirmation before we tell his parents. The rest will have to wait till we past the 3 mths mark when we will be out of danger (Insya'Allah).


We have been postponing the pregnancy test for several days now and the first time I tested, the thing failed to work!! Considering the number of times I have worked this thing, its almost embarassing to admit that I fumbled. After I had used the stick, I placed it on the cistern cover of the toilet which was wet. Despite waiting for an eternity the results never did showed except for a hint of the vertical line where it says positive. But we were not so convinced so the next night we bought another pack.

Even if not for the test, deep in my heart I knew something was up. A mother's instinct? Perhaps. One thing was definitely my very late menses. (I was 45 days late but it had happened before) The other was my extremely sore boobies. I remembered reading about sensitive boobs as a symptom of pregnancy. I have also been feeling quite tired lately. He said that almost every night, I slept as soon as my head touched the pillow. Coincidentally, my office extended our hours from 5pm to 6pm so I naturally thought that was the reason why. Even more glaring was the fact that I have been eating quite a larger portion than I usually do. Of course on hindsight, it all looked so obvious and we were silly not to have noticed and guessed but since we were not on so much of a lookout we didn't exactly join the dots.

Still, we are out of our minds and over the moon !!!! Or did I say that already? hehe.
