An introduction to my pregnancy...

Trying... and trying...
Tony and I had always wanted to have children straight away, we would find ourselves talking about our future kids more than about our wedding day. The closer it got to our wedding day the sooner it got to us trying. We were so excited we started financial planning, reading the books, taking the vitamins and buying maternity wear (hehe!) weeks approaching our wedding day. 

Disappointment... Now it isn't like the movies, first try, she gets pregnant, hoorah! hoorah! baby is on the way. I clearly remember our disappointment... It was our last day on our honeymoon in Hong Kong, I had the symptoms, vomiting, nausea, bloating... and I know it's closer to rare than it is common to getting pregnant on the first try, but I guess when you want something so bad you fool yourself into thinking your pregnant. Mr Pham and I decided not to take a test until we landed back home, but even before that chance came we soon saw that my "symptoms" were only a play of our imagination and boy! did that suck. At first we were sad, then I became bitter, I started thinking of all the teenagers and women getting knocked up who don't want kids and yet there are people in the world who want them more than ever, oh goodness all the bizarre things that go through your mind. Now I feel stupid because I think of all the other people who have it worse off, who try for years and years before they even get any sort of result. After the silly thoughts had disappeared Mr Pham and I then became positive, it's not like I ovulate once a year right?

Hoorah! Hoorah!... I remember the day of finding out I was pregnant I was visiting a best friend of mine @annealberto. We were sitting in her room and I joked with her saying "I could be pregnant now!" little did I know my body was preparing itself for nesting. 
I was in the car with Mr Pham that night driving home from dinner and he had said "Imagine if you're pregnant right now..." we then decided to do a test, just for the fun of it. Now mind you I wasn't due for my periods for another two days but we thought heck why not. 
That second where you first see the two lines on the stick has got to be the most indescribable moment of your life. Mr Pham and I just looked at each other in disbelief. We couldn't believe it I took three more tests. All positive. I still remember the look on his face, he laughed so hard and then came the tears. It was a really touching moment for the both of us and one that will always be instilled in my mind. 

Skipping to now... We are currently 31 weeks pregnant and 6 days with our baby girl on the way. Every time I sit in silence all I do is think of all the moments it took to get here. I feel the little miracle moving inside me.
