Renewed Courage
This morning, mummy woke up and wondered about me. She must be thinking that I am playing hide and seek with her!
Finally, mummy plucked up her courage and decided to take the clearblue out to test again. And the second clearblue test was positive too! Mummy called daddy to tell him of the results. Now, mummy had 2 positive clearblue tests and 1 negative laboratory test. And mummy decided to put her faith in God and the 2 positive clearblue tests. She claimed by faith that my little life has begun. I am very happy that mummy chooses to believe in my existence.
That night, daddy laid hands on mummy's tummy and prayed for me! I am excited and happy that this is daddy's first prayer for me.

At the Gynae's Office
Mummy arrived at Tow Yung clinic, and had her weight measured and urine taken for the gestation diabetes test. I could sense mummy's nervousness while she waited for her turn to see Dr. Lim.
My 1st view of Dr. Lim was that he looked old enough to be my grandpa! Dr. Lim scanned mummy's tummy and tried to check if I was present. But as I was really tiny then, even the machine couldn't detect my presence.
Dr. Lim then sent mummy off to the laboratory to do a pregnancy test. The laboratory took some urine from mummy and the test result came back negative! Mummy's face fell when she saw the negative test result! I wanted to console mummy and tell her that I am present, but she was unable to hear me.
Dr. Lim saw the test results and told mummy to come back in one week's time.
That night, mummy was in dilemma as to whether to tell daddy or not. As mummy had a cell group meeting that night, she decided to go for the cell group first. At the meeting, Aunty Karen (mother of 3 children) was there and mummy decided to ask her for advise. Mummy shared about what had happened with aunty Karen.
Aunty Karen related her friend's pregnancy story. This friend went for the laboratory test twice and results came back negative! But she was pregnant and eventually gave birth to twins!
With that story, mummy had renewed hope and decided to share with daddy about what had happened! "Thanks! Aunty Karen!"
When mummy got home, mummy shared with daddy what had happened. Daddy asked mummy to immediately test again with the clearblue. But mummy gave all kinds of excuses not to test again. I think mummy was secretly afraid that the positive clearblue result was a fluke, and she was afraid to confirm it by doing a second test. So she convinced daddy to wait for the next gynae's visit.

Before My Presence was Known
I was told that daddy & mummy had been planning for me for a while. And there were a few times that mummy had thought she was pregnant, she did the home pregnancy test (HPT) using clearblue, only to realize that those were false alarms.
On this day, mummy had run out of HPT and went to buy the twin pack just to stand by. Mummy had some signs that I may have arrived. But because of the few false alarms, mummy decided that she was not going to do any tests until she was very sure that I had arrived.
Mummy had lunch with her friend, Cecilia and after getting the twin pack clearblue HPT, she went home. After mummy got home, she felt very tired and decided to take a nap - I think that must have been one of the signs that I had arrived. Anyway, mummy took a nap on the Osim Isymphonic.
She woke up around 4.30pm and wanted to continue napping as she saw it was still early and daddy wouldn't be back yet. But suddenly, this thought came to her, "Nevermind, let's test again!" That was me, sending a message to mummy!
Despite her tiredness, mummy decide to heed my call and took the clearblue out to test. The test result was positive! As mummy was still half-asleep, she saw the result and threw the clearblue stick into the dustbin in the toilet. After she walked out into the living room, it struck her that the result was positive and to ensure that she did not see wrongly, she went back to the dustbin to see the result again. Indeed, it did not change, it was still positive!
Mummy was really excited and decided to call Aunty Serene. On her phone conversation, with me listening in, I heard mummy say that she didn't want to tell daddy yet until the gynae had confirmed that I am present. She didn't want daddy to get excited for nothing, in case it was a false alarm. I shouted to reassure mummy that I was present, but she couldn't hear me! After that, mummy called Tow Yong Clinic and fixed an appointment on Jan6 to see Dr. Lim Teck Chye.
