Bun Number 1: That's Right, I'm Currently Baking

Hello Darlings,

It has been a very long and hard road for Mr. Man and I. We spent the first few years of married life enjoying ourselves and indulging on life's finest (within our budget of course). Mr. Man bought his blue Subaru WRX (who we affectionately called...of all things...Bertha) and completely made it into some boy's racing fantasy while I indulged myself in several baking and cooking classes. Heck, I even started teaching baking classes too.

It's not that I didn't want to tell everyone earlier, it's just that I wanted to be sure and have it confirmed by the doctors first.

I couldn't help it, the pack had 3 strips, so I used all of them, JUST TO BE SURE.

Come on, you didn't do that with your first child?

I found out on the 3rd of December by the at home urine test kits. I was feeling sleepy throughout the day and on the night of the 2nd of December, I slept nearly a full 12 hours, it was crazy! I spent the last few weeks sleeping at odd hours of the day and still slept early at night.

I was supposed to wait a few more days before testing, but then I decided to just go ahead and buy the home test kit. As I was preparing my lunch, I went to do the test and after so many months of failure, I wasn't expecting anything. In fact, I was expecting a negative result, just as always.

The moment I saw the result, I had to double check the packet instructions, as I wasn't familiar with this particular pregnancy test. But 2 lines usually mean a positive, I just never saw them before, that's all.

There they were, the 2 lines. It was positive.

I didn't know what to do or feel, I just started to cry. After so many months of trying and being disappointed, it finally came up positive and Mr. Man wasn't here to share the moment with me. After I pulled myself together, I called Mr. Man and informed him that we were pregnant. He was over the moon that his swimmers were strong, lucky him!

We are excited, very excited!

After informing him. I told my mother, I said that she would be the first to know, then my best friend, who subsequently screamed at me down the phone and asked me to come back to Singapore. I pity her neighbours, they are living next to a crazy woman.

Oh I love her so. She doesn't want me be here alone.

Mr. Man said that he will hurry along the visa application process. I don't think i want to go through this pregnancy alone, especially it being the first one but I will do what I have to.

Now I have to focus on being healthy and bringing this child to full term. No more crazy things.

We're starting a family yo!

xoxo,
Sweet Success

P.S. We're about 5 weeks along, so there's a long road ahead. Many people don't wish to tell others about their pregnancy at such an early stage. But I decided that what ever the outcome, I will accept, this is the journey we will take and I am committed on keeping this blog updated for my own memory and for my family members who are very far away from me and want to be in the know. They have waiting 4 years for this to happen.

P.P. S. My first scan is on the 18th of December.

P.P.P.S. Did you think I wasn't going to leave you with something profound?

You can plan, but you do not have the master plan.
