How I knew and when I knew it

So I received the news on 18 July, Saturday morning. I was in bed at a family's friend's garage/house/fun room, when I was greeted with a "Good Morning, Daddy-To-Be." She had gone for a pregnancy test earlier that morning and got the confirmation. She said it turned "positive" as soon as the urine sample touched the applicator.

It's kinda weird but exciting at the same time. From a biological point of view, it was really no big deal. These things happen everyday to millions of creatures big and small. But when it is my own, somehow it feels like a miracle. Like something happened out of the most unusual circumstances. Thank God for microscopes and pregnancy tests.

The next few days, she did some reading up on pregnancy. I had to leave for NY. She continuously updated me on her condition and the fetus size and shape. Now, it looks like a manatee. She was bleeding the last couple days but it has since stopped for more than 24 hrs.

So we got pretty much everything we need for Singapore. Business class tickets for the first time. Finally, it's my turn to look at those with cheap seats parade in front of me. LOL. Just kidding. Not really. ;) I got the business class tickets because I wanted her to be able to recline as much as possible. The extra legroom would help too. Next stop, some socks to help prevent Deep Vein Thrombosis. Been looking at some baby products too. The market is saturated with them.
