Exactly a year ago,I found out I was pregnant. (Aug. 11, 2025, a day before my lola Lolita’s birthday). It was very unexpected because to be honest, I thought I would never get pregnant due to my age or some health issue. 🤭 Married for 8 years already and got pregnant at 37 yo. I will never forget how I felt that day. I was at work and was feeling sick to my stomach. I texted my sister if she and my tita can get me some food for lunch I felt like I was starving. I had stomach ache and was just really uneasy. My sister finally got me some food and I will never forget how she describe the way I look. Somehow I looked like I had a droopy face, murag niwang in Bisaya. But she didnt let me know she just thought I looked sick. A few hours later, after having done eating, I still felt like it wasn’t enough and I didn’t feel full yet. I really couldn’t describe the feeling. All day I felt miserable. I told my sister about it and got into more details so she said why not take a pregnancy test. Maybe you’re pregnant. I was like” For real? I don’t think I’m pregnant, I’m just really sick.” But, you know what, I still went to the store and bought some PT after work. I didn’t go straight home but stopped by at my tita’s house to take the PT there. Ofcourse I was not gonna let my tita know about it, just me and my sister for the meantime until we know if I really was pregnant or just sick with a bug. I remember running up the stairs to her bathroom and taking the PT. After a few min, in my mind I know I’m not pregnant but kinda hoping I was. And there you go! 2 lines. I was giggling while looking at the 2nd line slowly appear. As soon as I told my sister she told me, “I knew it! I knew it! You’re pregnant! You don’t believe me but my hunch is always right!” So i decided I will surprise my husband with a great news. But that’s for a different day to share. Hehe. Thank You Abba YHWH, for this wonderful blessing. 🙏🏼 Will share my pregnancy journey finally. 🩵
