Two pink lines

Yes, two pink lines showed in the pregnancy test kit I took last Friday. It confirmed what I had been suspecting for thepast few weeks, that my little girl will soon be an Ate.

I must admit that this pregnancy was not planned but still, it is very much welcome. Five years is more than the ideal time to wait for another addition to our small family.

I'm filled with both excitement and a little anxiety. After all, the hubby is currently in a career shift and the budget will have to be "re-adjusted". Yet, I know, we will cope and the blessing and joy of having another baby will more than make up for it.

Right now, B_ _ is having fits of jealousies and bouts of insecurities. Every night she would cuddle up to me and ask plaintively if I will still love her after the baby comes. Of course, I would say, in fact even more as she will now be a responsible elder sister to her coming sibling. There is much love to go around so B_ _ need not feel left out. In fact, as early as now, seven weeks into my pregnancy, the hubby and I have been involving her in our plans (e.g. where the baby will sleep).

Its been quite long and I have forgotten how it felt like last but I'm sure three expectant souls are eagerly awaiting his/her arrival.
