Back to the future.....

Thank you blogger Family First, I was thinking about what to post this week since I didn't take any happening photos for this month yet. I got this from your blog.


So here it goes!! back to the pre-Xaviers' story:



1. Was your first pregnancy planned?
- We plan to let God plan for the pregnancy.


2. Were you married at that time?
-Yeap. During the 1st year of marriage, people (those keh po..) keep asking us when we are having the little one.. we just tell them to wait.. after one year, no one really ask anymore..guess that they gave up asking..

3. What were your reactions?
- I was overwhelmed and don't know who to tell as Donna (housemate) sleeps on the dot (11.30pm), so I called hubby.. He was overwhelmed! I couldn't sleep too.... well, guess that next time should use the test kit in the morning...

4. Was abortion an option for you?
- Nope. Baby is God's blessing for couples.

5. How old were you?
- Twenty nine

6. How did you find out you were pregnant?
- When we just got married, I was hoping for the good news when my period didn't turn up. However, we didn't give up but just keep cool and enjoy the newly married year.... until 1 year plus later.....one fine night, I was sitting and watching TV with my housemate Donna, while my hubby went out..so, I was talking about the 2 months late and she suggested that I should check. One of the instruction on the test kit sounds like "Use first thing in the morning..." guess I didn't follow instructions and went into the bathroom around midnight to test out.. Well, yeah!! there were TWO lines !!! (indicate "POSITIVE PREGNANT")...
