The Beginning

we actually planned to have a baby at least 1 year after our wedding, but somehow things got moved forward. we found out about the pregnancy on the second month of trying, and 2 days before our honeymoon to japan. at 5am in the morning, i found my wife prancing around in the room, flashing the pregnancy test kit in my face, asking me to look at the result. i could hardly open my eyes, but i didnt have to look to know, her expression and excitement said it all! she told me it was maternal instinct that made her woke up in the middle of the night to take a pregnancy test! amazing isnt it?

we were excited and yet worried at the same time about our upcoming trip. we were seriously contemplating abandoning the trip, as it is not advisable to travel in the first trimester. we were very lucky that dr fong agreed to see us at such short notice, we rush down the very next day to have the pregnancy confirmed and seeked his advices. eventually, we made the trip, came back safe and sound, though there was a major scare on one of the night at mt fuji. flo experienced some bleeding during the night and we panicked, got our guide panicking as well. luckily it turned out to be nothing but a scare. however, as a result of the scare, we couldnt fully enjoy the rest of the trip.

the rest of the first trimester wasnt very easy on flo, she was constantly feeling nausea and fatigued. but thanks to the TLC from her hubby, she made it through!
