Risen was a honeymoon baby.
I can still vividly remember our conversation with our OB.
OB: Congratulations! You are 6 weeks pregnant.
Mico
and Bryan: **Gives a very meaningful stare to each other**
Mico to
OB: MMMMmmmmmm....Doc... pano po mangyayari yun? 4 weeks pa lang po kaming
kasal.
OB:
Haha ganun talaga counting nun. The count is from the last day of
your last menstruation. O, wag kayong mag-away ah...The count does not
begin on your contact but on your menstrual cycle...
Mico
and Bryan: aaahhhh....ganun pala yun..
That talk was really awkward yet very informative.
Actually, even before we had a pregnancy test, Bryan was already convinced I was pregnant. I, on the other side, was not. This was because an OB in the past told me that the different position of my uterus will make it very hard for me to be pregnant. With this, I leaned on the idea of having a childless marriage.
The famous
"What if we do not get pregant?" was one of the questions we
sincerely
talked
about during our engagement. However, obviously, God has a better plan.
During
the very moment that we were waiting for a line or lines to appear in a USB
liked shaped pregnancy test kit, I busily threw away the packaging and cleaned
up the little mess I made in the restroom. I was not really interested
because I was positive that it would be negative. On the other hand,
Bryan, stared at the kit without blinking. When the two lines appeared,
my first reaction was "Hala, bakit dalawa?" Bryan was like
"Oo nga, dalawa"...Then the lines "Buntis ako, just came out of
my mouth as I also teared-up". Bryan just hugged me while my two
hands remained stiffly on my side. I was in complete disbelief. I
was not sad, nor happy, nor excited nor surprised. I was just
like..."what did just happen? There is a baby inside me...."
I remember spending the rest of the day in bed. I was still in awe and I did not know how to react. I also remember demanding from Bryan that we see an OB asap to confirm my pregnancy. I told him I would only be convinced with this, but after the check-up, I told him I still I need to have an ultra sound because, again, I need another "yes". After three the yes-es (kit, OB, ultrasound), finally, I gave in. We started telling our parents and announcing to closest friends. That was the only time it sunk to my heart and head. May reaction na ko!! hahaha
Then during our celebration, the Lord reminded me of His sovereignty.
Truly, doctors are knowledgeable but God is the creator of them all, therefore,
He
has still the last say.
