“But the good news is you’re pregnant!”

Yes yes yes!! I am pregnant!

It came as a total surprise for us.
Rewind back 3 months ago, on 8th June 2010.

7th June, Monday
I was getting very bored in the office and decided to surf on pregnancy stuff. Afterall, we have been trying for a baby for almost 9 months, albeit on very irregular basis. Hahaha (do i sound defensive?)
So, I went googled here and wikied there, and landed myself in www.sgmotherhood.com forum. It was really informative. I myself am also not sure why I will surf such info on a Monday, but I am putting it down to Mother’s instincts. I mean, I can always Facebook or start some silly Farmville, right?

As the day was about to end, I decided to apply for leave on Tuesday.
And so, on Monday night, I went for my usual drinks. After a few rounds of beer at the usual haunts, I went home, had a good sleep all the way till late Tuesday morning. I still remember I bought supper home to eat.

When I woke up on Tue morning, I actually planned to just laze around or go shopping. But for some reason, I decided to make a trip down to the nearest gynecologist. I went online and surf and make an appointment with Dr Woo Bit Hwa of Thomson Medical Centre. His clinic is located at Tiong Bahru Plaza, Central Plaza and he was highly recommended by many mummies in the forum.

It also so happened that Greg took leave that day as well. He was not feeling too well and called in MC on that very morning. Hence, it was a perfect day for us both to see the gynae.

And so, on 8th June, both of us went into the clinic with a blurry eye and explained to Dr Woo our “problem”. I told him about my irregular cycles and we were planning for one. The idea was for him to prescribe some medication that can help regulate my cycle, (hopefully) making baby-making a easier process.

He asked me some basic questions about my last cycle date. It was on 25th April. In fact, according to my iphone app, my menses was supposed to start 2nd June. So, I was 6 days late. But I thought nothing much of it since I am usually late.

Then, Dr Woo directed me to the scan machine. I was supposed to lie on the bed and he will do the scan. Dearest Greg, of all times, then left the room as he was going to see the GP, which was sharing the same clinic Dr Woo.
The nurse even asked me why he don’t want to stay to see and I kinda replied, “cause I think there’s nothing much to see.” (I wasn't expecting anything!)

It was my first experience doing this whole ultrasound scan and it was kinda cute.
Dr Woo smeared some KY jelly over my lower abdomen area and the scanning started. I was starting to feel ticklish and I kept giggling to myself.

Dr Woo then said…:” Hmmm, you bladder doesn’t seem very full ..”
I said sheepishly, “ Erm yes, I went to the ladies just now.” (I was supposed to have a full bladder)
Dr Woo: “ But the good news is…You’re PREGNANT!”
Me: “OMG!” Are you sure?”
Me: “Oh shit! I just drank and smoke yesterday!”
Me: “Are you sure, are you sure?” “OH! Is it that little black dot here?” “That’s my baby?” (pointing to the sac)
I think I was caught with surprise and was blabbing all the way. However, I do think that on some days, I was having the slightest thought that I might just be preggies!
Sometimes, I was also imagining my reaction at the gynae upon hearing the positive news.

And so, yes! I am PREGNANT. It’s a big fat positive!
