From Dawn Till Dusk

(Foreword: This is exclusively girl’s talk. So if you’re not, better close this tab because I bet you wouldn’t be able to relate pretty well. Well, not unless you’re a Dad or a husband or an Ob-gyne.)

Above’s a pregnancy test kit, alright. And yes, I’ve taken the test just this morning. The month of March will end tomorrow and I’ve been waiting for my “time of the month” as early as the first week, but still no visitor. I haven’t been suspecting that I’m pregnant though as I see no signs at all. No breast tenderness, no little bits of powder substance that goes along with the urine when I pee, no metallic taste in the food that I eat, no morning sickness–nothing at all.

But by around 10 in the morning yesterday, I was gagging the sink really hard. I want to get out something in my digestive system (the food that I ate at breakfast probably) that I spend a couple of hours just vomiting and vomiting. I feel kinda dizzy too in between nauseas, and as a way to console myself, I bloghopped and visited Friendster (heehee, yan ang mga major ways ko of theraphy–connecting with friends) a little just to shift my attention and let the weird feeling out of my system.

So I hopped on Blogfriend’s journals. And guess what? Latest updates I’ve read got me thinking: is there a pregnancy fever or something? Last month, my gracious webhost Amore announced her pregnancy to Baby No. 2. Then last week, Mommy Analyse, este, si Ate Louna pala, reported the good news that she’ll be an Ate soon as her Mom is expecting by September of this year too. When I logged in to my Friendster account, there, I saw a baby ticker widget in MeAnn’s profile (the Dubai-based friend of mine and Hubby) that says she’s on her 15th week already! And just yesterday, I’ve learned through Kelly that two of her Blogfriends as well have been visited by the stork.

But that’s not all. As I hopped over at Thet’s latest posts yesterday, I was happy and giddy and excited to learn she is expecting as well. Nung una pa nga, hindi ko agad na gets, kasi naman dalawa yung bagong posts. The first that I’ve read was a blast from the past regarding how she knew she was pregnant with her daughter Iya. And I’ve even commented na baka she’s expecting kaya ganun. And when I opened the post previous to that, true enough, she was indeed expecting!

And that all the more convinced me to try the test myself. Why? First off, Thet’s Iya and my Nico is almost of the same ages, Nico was just days apart. And I’m not sure if this goes with other Mommies as well, but I’m one of those who compare notes with Moms whose sons’ or daughters’ ages are close as mine. Kinda weird but that’s sort of my way to gauge or convince myself to think of having another baby. And second, honestly, sobrang nainggit ako. So I think, that adds to the urge to finally try the pregnancy test myself.

And the result… Continue Reading »
