I will never forget that one fine Sunday morning that changed my life forever. It was a nice breezy lazy day for us and I woke up feeling positively different and it felt good. I got out of bed and went straight to toilet to check my urine test. I couldn’t believe this moment was really happening. I am pregnant!

A jumped into bed and woke my other half. He was half asleep, half awake. It looked as if sleep is the only thing that matters. I told him what I discovered and totally ignored me. But, that did stop me from feeling on top of the world.

The day went by fast. By dusk, hubby insisted that I do another test to confirm of this pregnancy and I did. Within minutes, the second line appeared. But this time, it was more prominent than before. With that, hubby happily concluded that we are both fertility fit and healthy.

This July would reach our 4th year as a married couple. And to finally have a little one in our lives just made us on top of the moon. That is no exception to my darling hubby. Happily he brought the pregnancy kit everywhere he went, flashing the kit to our friends and proudly announcing he will be a father soon. The happiness we felt was indescribable!

Our happiness kept flying when we confirmed with our obstetrician. I had a yoke sach at 5 weeks implanted in my uterus and it was prominently visible through the ultrasound scan. The obstetrician confirmed too that my uterus had expanded showing that is preparing for my babies future cozy bed that he will be sleeping for 9 months, hopefully.

I am currently reaching my 8th week of pregnancy this Monday and already I felt a speedy roller coaster ride and slow and steady lump going through a narrow path in my belly. My darling mother, who is a nurse and midwife by profession and my beloved father who is a pediatrician, confirmed that my baby made his first movement indicating there is a heartbeat and it is alive!

It is 3.30 pm on a wonderful breezy Friday. From my office window at level 9, I see the sun shining proudly down at me making me feel like I have touched the sky. The journey of motherhood is still a long way but just the thought of me being a mother to-be gives a wonderful sensation on both side of the fence. But most importantly, I am just enjoying every moment of it. And the weekend is just about to begin…
