Yup.  I’m pregnant!

I’m writing this now, but not posting it yet.  Apparently it’s best to make the announcement when you’re that the baby’s gonna stay there for good – or for 9 months at least.

One thing I wondered about before was why pregnant women always refer to how many weeks they are pregnant.  I was like – wow, you keep track in weeks?  A little over don’t you think? Apparently, in the medical world, pregnancy is tracked in weeks and it starts on the last day of your last period or was it the first day?  Whatever, but basically, counting starts before you even get pregnant.

I found out through 3 positive home kits while I was on my 4th week – which technically means I was probably just 2 weeks pregnant then and I haven’t even missed my period.  But for some reason, I could sense something was not normal with my body.

I called a gyne here in Singapore and they won’t be able to see me until Jan 8th.  Wow, if ob-gynes here are that busy how come Singapore still has a population problem?

How did I feel?  I always imagined myself breaking into a cold sweat and seeing my whole life flash before my eyes.  But when I first found out I was very happy and I was surprised that I was very happy.  I couldn’t help smiling all the time.

When my brothers found out, they were all very excited…. excited to see how I was going to torture Jorey with my pregnancy.

The first few weeks for me was normal.  I was thinking, this isn’t so bad.  I feel fine and normal which was good.

But now that I’m into my sixth week, I’m having morning sickness all day.  And the new found super human sense of smell is not so cool.  I have an aversion to the kitchen.  I hate hawker centers because they all smell like msg and boiled pig guts.  I’m sooo miserably constipated  and my face is like a war zone of acne – it’s depressing.

I stopped working again and I’m just so thankful and lucky that Jorey can give me that option.

But despite all the discomforts, I’m trying to be all positive and happy so  that we’ll have a happy happy baby.

I have no preference for gender.  My greatest concern right now is to have a normal baby at the least… then maybe jorey’s height and smarts and the rest he/she gets from me hehehe.
