How it all began.


It was 9am when I was abruptly woken up, I saw Lita holding a strip like litmus paper with a big excitement glowing on her face. She ask me to reconfirm the strip, I've absolutely no idea what shes talking about as my mind had not properly booted up, after few seconds I realized she was holding a pregnancy test kit, I grab the strip and saw the 2 line clearly imprinted. I asked her for the test kit manual as I've no idea which line indicate what.

The box says 2 lines and its positive and we've 2 lines, she shouted out in excitement, "its confirm!!" right?? its true that I'm pregnant, I remember her words, you're gonna be a father!" She was jumping on the bed, holding the strip, I can see the happiness on her face, we had tried for a baby almost a year and the time had finally paid off. I'm more happy looking at her expression, her happiness sets a deep satisfying feelings into my heart. 

I show no signs of emotion, Lita then ask me arent you excited? I told her my mind was blank and I've the sense of worry more so than excitement. I dont know how I should feel, I dont know how a first time father should feel or expressed. Thoughts of what to do raced my mind, superstitious stuff, or if we should announce it to everybody. 

We decide to break the news first to our parents, she called her mom and told her about it, her mom ask if the doctor had confirm and she said nope, we tested ourselves. Her mom was fantastic she said oh I didnt know you can test it at home????

We tried to call our doctor but it was a sunday so we decide tomorrow we should confirm with the doctor and probably get a lot of adviced of what should we do from now, whats the procedure like. 

Later on we had breakfast at my moms place and broke the news to my family, the conversation was all about pregnancy, mom telling her of her passed experience and all bombard her with so much advices we could hardly digested them all at once.

As we've coming back home I decide I should start a blog, something our baby can see next time of his/her journey was like, could it be smooth sailing, I pray to god so. Nothing is more important than a healthy baby, boy or girl doesnt matter, those are secondary. 

Its a funny feeling and I've butterflies in my stomach even at this moment writting this page, worry? YES you bet!!!
