3 days to go before Raya strikes its excitement. I am at the office, not feeling so good. This headache has been bugging me since I woke up this morning. Oh my. I just can’t focus. As my new job involves lots of reading, it hits me bad!
So I find my way to this blog of mine, which has been neglected for months now. Why? Coz I’ve been keeping a secret from many. And perhaps now is not a bad time to tell and share…
The beginning
It was Monday, 20 days after my birthday. I just came back to office from awesome yet challenging days of Karnival Keluarga PETRONAS 2009. My instinct was trying to tell me something that morning. The incident we had last Saturday suddenly became a big issue to me. [Zul arranged for a quick meet-up with colleagues of him at Bukit Beruntung exit. He needed a favor from them. As a return, we tapau KFC, all the way from Rawang and waited for them to arrive. So we had the KFC with us along the way. The car didn’t smell like a car no more. Yup, the smell of fried chicken was all over the space and it drove me crazy! As we reached the parking bay near the exit, I immediately got out and throw-up. Uikss..]
I started to feel uneasy. At 10.00am, I rushed to the pharmacy to get myself the toolkit that used to be a MUST have. As soon as I reached the office, I made the attempt to undergo the ‘examination’. And to my surprise, the additional line that never made an appearance before made its debut! OMG, it’s positive! I became nervous. I don’t know how to react! Immediately, I called Mr Husband to join me in the ‘surprising land’.
“Kak, saya mesti pergi klinik sekarang!”, I told my subordinate. Off I was to TTMC. I explained the situation to the doctor, had a urine test and again, amused by the answer she gave…”Congratulations, you are pregnant.” How did I take it? Let see, that means, I was pregnant when I represented Gas Business netball team during KKP? I was and still SPEECHLESS.
That was on 29th June 2009
Days and weeks after
I was in denial during the early days. Reason being, just like other newly weds, I wished to get pregnant soon after the big day. So I hope, and hope until one day, I stopped. I always believe that to have baby is a dream come true. I always wanted to have babies. But when the day came, I was stunt. Stunt of the responsibilities and changes that await!
Alhamdulillah, the idea of becoming a mummy soon slowly blends into my mind. It was not easy to face the early pregnancy moments alone, with Zul away most of the time. But syukur, everything went well. I couldn’t have made it without the support from people around me. Now, I am in week 16 and just ‘recover’ from a challenging morning sickness. Fuh~
The baby is still small to react to daddy’s touch or voice. At this moment, she’s just 10cm long. Tremendous development since I first met her at 8.9mm! That was at week 6. Zul raised his thought to me. It seems that the baby reacted to Zul’s presence in different way. He noticed that whenever he’s home/around, my sickness gets worse. I started to get all kind of symptoms whenever Zul is coming home or going back to Sg Petani. Hehe anak ayah, he said :)
Well, raya this year is so meaningful as I get to celebrate it with a husband and a baby inside my tummy. One thing for sure, I don’t look the same. I’m getting chubbier and my tummy is growing bigger!
Haaaa...see my face is so bulat! =)
