Finally, it's happening!

The last seven days had been a mystifying week. Mom anticipated menses to arrive but it didn't happen which then quite worried mom. Mom had been experiencing sporadic tummy discomfort that is similar to menstrual cramps. Still having it now tho. Days come and days go. At the same time, mom was really busy rushing to meet the dateline of mom's two assignments which were due on the 30th of August. Another assignment will be due on the 6th of September.

Yesterday, mom decided to drop by at the pharmacy to grab the HPT. Mom told Papa that tomorrow morning will be the day that mom had chosen to do the test. Afterall, whatever the result would turn out, the test still need to be done and life still goes on after that.

And indeed, last night was a tough night for mom. Full of mixed emotion and doubts, mom just hope there will not be a deja vu. The sleepless night made mom recall lotsa memory. Same time last year, mom had the same experience and the result turned out to be negative. This horriying experience has given mom a huge impact and resulted in mom taking a drastic action by quitting mom's previous job just 4 months back. Mom signed up for an MBA course early this year. Thanks to Ee Ya who persuaded mom to do so. And this past four months have been an enjoying one. Mom was able to spend more time with Ryan and our bonding seems to grow closer and closer each day. Mom had more time with Granma and Granpa too as only both of them are left staying in the house after Ee Ya took up an offer in KL and moved there in April. Mom could focus on the candle business and the best part is that mom could afford to start work late and come back early. Sometimes, mom just skip going to office and work from home instead. Mom helped Papa on the planning work for the renovation of our new house which is targeted to be completed by November. The timing for all of this was just so right.

Mom was already awake at 5am this morning. Mom lazed and tossed around for a about an hour with only one question in mom's head... What if the result is again negative? Mom walked to the laptop and found a pop up from the screen. It was Ee Ya who was awake since 4am. The crucial time has come and mom just have to do it. Mom waited anxiously with so much hope to see the two lines. First bold line appeared. Still no sign of the second line. Mom walked back to the room and continued chatting with Ee Ya. Then mom went back to the bathroom and took a second peep. Mom could see a faint line appearing slowly. What does this mean? Positive or negative? Mom thought. Getting excited, mom googled the images of those HPTs with positive outcome to make some comparison. When mom went back to the bathroom for the third time, the faint line appeared a little obvious. Here it goes..

Overjoyed, mom hastily text papa a short note knowing papa was still asleeping. Mom gave Ryan a peck on the head and walked out from the room heading downstairs to prepare your milk. Granma was in the kitchen. Mom broke the news to granma who was so glad to hear the news. After Ryan had finally finished up the last drop of milk in the bottle, mom told Ryan that there's a baby growing in mom's tummy. Ryan asked mom ... is the baby coming out now, and mom replied ... not now, Ryan. It would be next year 2009. And Ryan said, Huh? 2009, when I'm 5 years old? And Ryan giggled happily. "Hi Baby, this is Ryan. I'm your Kor Kor"
