only a clear discharge now and so I believe that there is nothing wrong with bubba. Hopefully the Doctor will have the same opinion this afternoon. I'm still taking metformin under the advise of Dr Gayer who said that I have to take it 'til week 12 and slowly get off it like how i got started.
I pray that everything will turn out ok. Even Michelle and family are praying hard for me. Thank you Lord for giving me people I can rely on for prayers.

I'm scared...
At work, this Monday morning and I saw blood when I was wiping after wee-ing. Am a bit scared right now but have read that there can be spotting happening in the first trimester and Maan had the same experience a few month's back. I am hoping that this is just a normal part of pregnancy. I would like to go to the Doctors this afternoon and hopefully get her re-assurance that everything is ok. I have lifted the baby to the Divine Will and hope that he/she remains intake in me for the whole 9 months.
Dear Lord, I lift my baby up to you with my human will to your divine will. I pray that everything will be ok and the pregnancy & delivery will be smooth. Let the Doctor tell me great news this afternoon. Please Lord. Amen.

I just told my Dad! :-)
I finally got through to Dad and told him "5 weeks na ako." And he said "Ano?". He didn't get it. I told him "Magiging Lolo na kayo. Buntis ako." And his tone changed to happy one, with an "OK ah!" Dad sounded like he had a cold and he said it was because of the rain the other day. He has a CFC meeting tonight and I told him to pray for me there. He told me to pray always and he is looking forward to seeing his apo in November. :-)
The Doctor has confirmed it!
YES YES YES, I am five weeks pregnant based on having my last period around January 15 -21. I saw Dr. Chelvi yesterday morning and she was so happy for me. It was such a great feeling to see two lines rather than just the one.
Praise the LORD!!! Halleluiah.
The first person I spoke to was Mom who was more than excited and prayed with me on the phone for a smooth pregnancy and a healthy baby. See, the Doctor said that the first 12 weeks is the most delicate stage of pregnancy and its best to keep the pregnancy to ourselves for now. We can tell when the first trimester is over and if I pass that stage them it would be smooth sailing from there. Mom said not to dwell on the bad side and to lift everything up to the Divine Will and think of positive things. She also said not to be tight when it comes to spending for this pregnancy as it is our first and its better to look after our health that the money we save.
Michelle was on MSN and started kuliting me about being preggy and yes I told her but said to keep it to herself because we are not telling anyone 'til we are passed the first trimester. That's another 7 weeks. Can I hold my secret for that long?
In three weeks time, we need to decide on which way to go - public or private with Dr Gayer. Public is free with nothing to spend at all but you are going to succumb to waiting times for check up and different doctors will see you depending on who is there at the checkup time. If I went with Private, Dr. Gayer will look after me with her $1800 fee and consultation fee of $120 on initial visit and $60 for every subsequent check up. Some of our friends (Maria Dent, Mary & Dennis, Donna, Michelle, Sonny Redoblado) recommend that we take on private because of the nature of me getting pregnant and at least if there are complications, Dr Gayer will know my history. Even Rommel's parents and mine have said that we should go for the best treatment.
We're still in the process of deciding.
While at work, Tita Dulce, YM'd me to say congrats and to take care. I asked her to pray for me and the baby. She said that all I have to do is take care.
After work, Rommel and I went to Fantasia to buy Maria's embossing template for Arnold's wedding invite. Afterwards, we were at Collin's Bookstore with $210 worth of baby books. heheheh. We now have "What to expect when expecting?" "What to eat when expecting?" "Up the Duff. by Kaz Cooke" and other titles I can't even remember. I guess we'll be reading quite a lot in the next few weeks. I contemplated borrowing books from Michelle and Donna but thought that I would want to keep a copy of these books in our study for reference. I can now trash all those IT and Software Manuals that I haven't touched since we moved into the house.
When we got home Rommel tried calling his parents but no one was answering, we have been trying all day to reach them but nothing. So Rommel decided to call Ron to find out where Mom and Dad are but he had no idea and Rommel told him that he was going to be an uncle. Rommel then called Sha who somehow knew what the call was about and she said that Mom and Dad were in Lae and arriving in Bulolo late this evening.
We had to go to singing practice at Tito Mike's and it was so hard to keep my news within but lucky no one asks us anymore about being pregnant so we had to answer no questions. hehhehe :) As we were about to leave, Rommel's mobile was ringing and it was Mom calling trying to find out what we were calling about. Rommel told her that he'll call back when we get home in 5 minutes. When we got home, we spoke to Donna who said Dex was really sick and the HomeClass would be cancelled this evening. Again, it was so hard no to say anything but I just kept quiet and mentioned nothing about the pregnancy to her (Sorry, Donna!). As soon as I hung up, Rommel call Mom and Dad to tell them the good news... They were so thrilled and it was like finally we will be lolo and lola. Mom said that she has been praying for us and this to her is an answered prayer. Dad said that his friend kept on asking if he had grandkids yet and now he'll be happy to say that he will have grandkids soon.
It was nice to tell our family the good news. At about 1:20am, I was awoken by stomach cramps again and got out of bed to see Edward watching Lost which we taped for him. I told him the good news and with a smile on his face he said "Congratulations!". Everyone we told were so happy to hear the news, we just hope and pray that everything will go well with this pregnancy and delivery.
EXCITING TIMES AHEAD....

I think I'm pregnant.... :-)
This morning I finally saw two lines on those pregnancy test thingos. I am excited but am not going to be super elated 'til the Doctor confirms that I am indeed pregnant. When I saw the two lines I was going more like S**T S***T and with smiles in my face, I looked at the mirror and said WE DID IT!!! Praise God, no more hormone injections. I also thanked St Gerard who interceded for us and made the Lord answer our prayers. I also thanks the Lord for Tita Susan Mission (our Ninang) who gave me that St Gerard novena booklet about three weeks ago now.
I think this explains the cramps I've been getting for the past two weeks and as I type I feel it again. I pray that this pregnancy be smooth and the life within me will come out 100% healthy. It will be a bonus that this new being is beautiful and a cutey. I pray that he/she be a happy baby and I pray that my desposition be positive so that our little one will be all smiles!
After I saw the two lines, I rang Rommel who was stuck in traffic towards Knox Road and Quakers Hill Parkway. He was excited but I did remind him not to tell anyone yet as I have yet to see my Doctor. Tonight, I was scheduled for accupunture treatments at Epping because I thought the cramps were because of some digestive problems. I may have to cancel but will talk to the lady first. I do want to see Dr. Gayer or my GP so there is another test to say that it is positive indeed.
I'm so excited and I pray that all will go well in the next nine months!!! :-)
