My journey to Cali

Baby Banana, you are someone we did not expect..

It was only three months after we lost Lemon when we learned we're having another baby. It was late November when I tested positive. My initial emotion was fear. You know I just lost a baby and now here's another one. Anyway, it's still a happy news.

We decided to keep mum about this, more mum than Lemon. But we already named her Banana then. Still a yellow tutti frutti. As expected, the baby is still young so there's no heartbeat yet. The two week long wait was crucifying! We were in this position before also. 

But this time, God gave in to our prayers. Banana is alive!

From here onwards, our doctor gave us strict orders to follow. She warned us that every thing will be different if we want to keep the baby. Every single move is more intense than the first one. For one, I did my OGTT on my 13th week which is a few months earlier than the usual schedule. And just like what you can read online about OGTT, it was a torture. I drank that disgusting sugar drink! And I'm not allowed to throw up if I don't want to repeat the process again. Imagine doing that on your first trimester. Aww

My plight after that was uneventful but not easy. We chose not to post anything about my pregnancy on social media. We just waited for people to ask if I'm pregnant. Which only happened on the later part of my pregnancy because you know they mistook my figure to just getting fat. Because I am always fat!

This was me on my fourth month. Still small. I carried small all throughout!

I asked to work from home on my last month. Even before going MIA, no one from the office noticed except my boss and some close friends. Amazing eh? Well, I learned later that my tummy was small because I suffered from low amniotic fluid level. I will talk about that in my birthing story ok?

I promise to blog while pregnant on our next (if God will let us have another one). Deal?

Love,

Yosh
