A Blast from the Past (Pics!)

Thought this would be fun to show "old" pics and hopefully this will make this more of a complete blog for our journey with Baby Ma! :)
Found this pics on my phone but did not think about posting these until today....shame on me!!

How did I know/guess I was pregnant?
Well, I missed my period for more than 2 weeks although I had a big fluctuation with my past periods. But, I trusted my instinct and bought this cheap pregnancy sticks tests from Amazon for about $6!

On Saturday, Jan 28, 2012...

Everyone (by everyone, I meant, my hubby and our 2 dogs :), lol ) was still asleep when I woke up around 8 am..I thought I would try those pee-pee test..I have got nothing to lose anyway so might as well find out.
So I peed on the first stick...well technically I did not pee on the stick, I used a small container and dunk the strip into the container.. Less than 3 seconds (literally, 3 seconds!), I saw my pee climbed up the stick quickly and forming a second line (1st strip on the pic).  *Gasp*
Very nervous, I grabbed the second stick and did the same thing and voila....took less than 4 seconds to see the red line (2nd strip on the pic)!
I went back to bed and tried to take this all in and how to break the news to my husband.. lol.
An hour later, I woke up my hubby and finally told the news. I don't remember exactly what I said but all I can remember is I asked him to do the test for me!! (Who knows these cheap strips was a junk after all!)
His test came back negative (no second line- 4th strip on the pic).
Then, I waited for another hour or so, and I took another test..you can imagine how nervous and anxious I was! ta-da...the test came back positive again! (3rd strip on the pic).
Finally, still very curious and really really anxious, I decided to try silly experiment just to prove or make sure that these tests are not junks and telling the truth!
I dunk the strip into regular tap water..LOL...voila! It was negative (last strip on the pic)
Here is the picture: 

Valentine's Day, Feb 14th, 2012
Our first doctor's appointment! Doctor said that I am in my 8th weeks and the due date is Sept 22nd, 2012. Yay...
Here is the first ultrasound pic:

I must say, that is one of the best Valentine's day ever...knowing that a tiny baby is inside my belly :). The only thing that worried me at that time was the doctor found some kind of blood clot or a mass above my uterus. He said that it might be a Fibroid (non-cancerous tumor), so he will have someone check it for me in the next appointment. Blood work came back good. Urine test came back with a result..apparently I have a bladder infection so the nurse sent me a prescription to the pharmacy. Weird thing was I did not feel anything different that indicates I had a bladder infection

March 14th, 2012 (Week 12, Day 3)

Today is our second doctor's appointment! Yay!

First thing in order, the ultrasound technician did an ultrasound to check the "fibroid" to see if it was indeed a fibroid or a blood clot. After few minutes of "digging", she found nothing! Praise God! I told her that I had a brown discharge few days ago so that might be it! I was so relieved!

And here is the baby picture on Week 12:

 

Did you see a tiny nose? :)

That's all the pics that I have for now. Next doctor's appointment is next week for the Anatomy Scan :) *nervous and excited*..
Majority people said that baby Ma is a girl!!! But my mom and my boss and one of my best friends said that it's a boy! So we shall see!! Hopefully nothing is wrong and Baby Ma is continuing to be strong and healthy.. :)
