unplanned happiness

Have u had any unplanned pregnancy before? I had, twice. Conceiving Sarah was one of it, but i was happy to hear the good news despite having some 'turbulent flow' at that point of time, if u know what i mean. She was my miracle baby i would say. She survived the turbulence! She's totally a tough lil girl! :)

I love her unconditionally although she came at the wrong timing. I was promoted after she was born. I got to know that I passed my IRB exam (I applied a job in IRB before) and got the chance to go for the IRB assessment course, tho i failed, cuz the assessment course was scheduled less than 2 weeks after my delivery, so i couldn't join most of the assessment test, particularly test that involved excessive physical movements/exercise. And i couldn't spend the nights at the assessment centre cuz Sarah, who was just few days old, needed me more at nights. But i had no regrets about it, maybe i am just not destined to work with any Gov or Semi-Gov bodies/agencies. I also had my 1st house after giving birth to her, and lotsa good things happened in between, despite the odd ones. So, having her as my 'unplanned baby' is not that bad after all. I love u sweetie!

My 2nd unplanned pregnancy is....... this one! yup, m currently pregnant! My bad for not doing any family planning. Well, actually i did... by counting my menstrual cycle. I had never done any hormonal or barrier methods or even any implantable devices before for birth control. I am bless with average menstrual cycle of 28 days, so i guess by counting number of days would be sufficient. Well, i have been using this natural method all the while n it worked. But i was wrong this time.. dang! Or maybe i didn't count correctly.

You guys should have seen my facial expression when the doctor announced me as pregnant, even the doctor laughed! "How can that be doctor? How can i get pregnant?" those were the questions that popped out from my mouth immediately. She laughed n said "you had sex with your husband and that's how u get pregnant". ok, that was really a blunt funny answer. I told her that i always counted correctly n i don't think i did it when i was fertile which i always assume it from the 14th day to 19th day. N normally 'precaution measures' would take place from the 12th day cuz i know I am too fertile. So the doctor asked me "on which day u had it then?". I said "on the 10th or 11th day, cant remember.. but m sure it was on one of these 2 days". And later on.... I had a lonnngggggg fertilisation and ovulation lecture frm the doctor! hihi. n guess what? after 3 kids, i just knew that healthy sperm can survive in 'there' for as long as 7 days after ejaculation! So, if i did it on the 10th day, come to 14th day, which is the 5th day after ejaculation, the sperm could still survive. haha! funny! i think it sounded cute! LOL :p. So no wonder i still managed to conceive! Btw, here's a good read about fertility n sperm life span.

Well, well, things happened for a reason i guess. It's not that i don't want anymore babies, i would love to have another one, hope to have 2 pairs, cuz i had a pair already and a boy, but not now. Cuz hubby n I had few plans in mind, one if it is to go diving together. n of course, we also think Dzarif is too small to have a baby bro or baby sis. But, i don't know why, the moment i heard the good news (eventho in shocked), i was happy inside. but, no doubt i was scared to reveal it to my husband at 1st, cuz i know he wasn't ready. But thank god, he was happy too! But, he did say "so.. taklehla kita pegi diving eh?" after he said "Alhamdulillah.. rezeki dari Allah.." hahaha! he still remembers his plan! :p

So now, m at my 17th week plus or 4 months pregnant. Passed the 1st trimester with flying colours! (with kgs of meat n fat building inside me :p). So far, so good.. alhamdulillah. I just had a lil bit of nausea during d 1st trimester, but not to d extend of vomiting. I had 3 check ups so far with Dato' Dr Siti from SDMC.. the baby looks fine n healthy. Talking about Dr Siti, she's the best! No wonder her queue is always damn long. I'm impress with her patience in handling patients despite d long list of patients she has and sometimes had to attend to emergency cases in between. N she has multiracial patients which is kinda rare.. u see, chinese patients wont normally go to malay gynae (through my years of observation) unless the gynae is really damn good. N she's already at her 60s. Isn't she amazing? My hubby couldn't agree more. And thanks to hubby for his willingness to wake up extra early (6am) every check-up days to ensure i got the 1st 7 numbers in Q. He's such a darling!

Cant wait for the next check-up where my detail scan is scheduled. Hope to see his/her gender, tho no doubt, i don't mind if i get another boy or girl cuz i already have both. All i wish for is healthy and a perfect baby. Nevertheless, having 'selang bunga' is even better :).

M so loving my 'unplanned pregnancy' this time around! Can really feel all the love around me :). Irfan n Sarah are so excited to have another baby in the family. But Irfan once did voice out his concern about me being pregnant again.. "mummy.. irfan suka ada baby.. tapi irfan takutla.. irfan takut mummy mati.." hahaha! i wonder where he got such idea! Too many cerekarama i guess :p. Sarah is ok with it, only that, she did say "mummy, mummy rasa baby ni girl ke boy? nanti dia naughty tak mcm Dzarif?" haha! So cute! Anyway peeps, wish me luck for the next few months to come!
