17dp2dt: Vengence against the pee stick

Today, I did the silliest thing ever, but I had a great time doing it; giggling and smiling all the way through.

Hubby and I are married for more than 6 years.  For the 1st year, he suddenly told me that he didn't want to have kids.  I totally felt cheated cos that was not the plan that we had been discussing about.  But he finally relented after 1 year.

For the following 5 years and 4 months, we have been on this TTC journey.  We tried almost everything and one of the most direct forward method was using ovulation strips.  I have bought countless of ovulation strips and lost count of the number of times I peed on a pregnancy test kit.  The ovulation strips were particularly challenging.  The cheaper ones require you to compare the colour of the lines.  Sometimes, I would even imagine that that there was a faint line.  I eventually gave up and bought the expensive digital type.  It would show a smiley face if ovulation is near.  But It was always negative.  I tried at least 40-50 of those expensive ovulation kits and never once did it show a successful result.

So I am going to break this curse.  Even though the blood test result is out, I still decided to pee on the stick.  And yes, as expected, there it was.  It obediently indicated 'pregnant'.  Finally, I have won over the pee stick!  Wahahahah! *Evil laughter* Revenge taken.

 Symptoms wise, I am starting to feel very bloated.  I didn't have a good nights' sleep cos of the bloated tummy.  Somehow, there wasn't a sleeping position that felt right and comfortable.  The feeling of nausea is also getting stronger and I am trying my best not to vomit.  Right now, I am trying to have small meals every 2 hours.  Hopefully that will help.  While I envy those whose bodies are able to handle the symptoms better, but there is also a thankful voice in my head.  As long as my beanies grow well, I will try my best to survive through these discomfort.
