16dp2dt: Happy Friday Again + Praise and Glory to God

Today is Blood Test Day!  Woke up real early this morning and headed to the IVF clinic for the blood test.  Took a whole hour to reach the clinic because of the morning peak hour traffic.  Gave me a real bad case of nausea cos of the stopping and jerking. Finally reached the clinic at 8am.

The nurse finished the blood extraction in less than 5mins and it is done.  Time to head home and wait for the call.  The call came at 10.45am.  It IS A BFP!!!!  Coincidentally, my hubby is working from home on some urgent assignment.  He possibly overhead the conversation and guessed the positive news.  He took my hand and gave it a good shake, turned about and went back to his room to continue working on the laptop.  Such an anti-climax.  Hahaha!

All is good finally.  The hcg level is a high 600.  My mom broke down crying while my dad called immediately to offer his congratulations.  It is mixed feelings for me cos my parents are unlikely able to stay with me due to certain situation.  I would really wish for my mom to look after me until I give birth.  After all, who can beat your own mother's love for you.  But it would possibly be asking too much out of the current situation.

THANK YOU MOM!
I don't know how I am going to handle the pain of them moving away.  I will miss her care and concern.   Throughout this journey, she has worked the hardest.  She would always check with me the day before and cook what I want to eat.  Everything is freshly cooked cos overnight food is not healthy.  She wakes up 4-5am to prepare my breakfast and lunch and bring me a warm glass of milk at 6.30am.  She then heads off the work and comes home about 3pm, in time to bring me teatime snack.  She starts cleaning the house, vacuuming, mopping, washing and ironing.  Home-cooked dinner is served at 6pm and I get supper at 11pm before we head off the bed.  The meals are so frequent cos I can't eat much and it helps to prevent gastric. 

She is also my nurse, accompanying me to all my scans and appointments (while trying to manage her shift work). And she administers all my injections, often breaking out in cold sweat while doing it cos it is so stressful.  She is the greatest contributor behind this BFP.  Thank You Mom!

But all is in God's hand and his plans.  Maybe God wants to lighten her burden and let her to rest a little more.  Maybe God will give her the opportunity to continue being with us.  Let's pray for faith and trust in his plans. Amen.

And praise and glory to the lord for this BFP, because all children are gifts from God.  There is only so much the doctor could do.  There is only so much we could do.  There are many things out of our control and it is him who has made all these possible.
