A few months ago, to be exact when hubby when to the US for a month, we decided that I stop taking pills already. One, to guard my health. My family has a history of cancer and we're fearing that prolonged use of the pills will have a negative effect. I've been using it for more than 2 years before giving birth and another 3 years after Jessica. No other means worked for me. We are not good at withdrawal and NFP and injectables shook up my hormones a bit when I tried it. We're not so thrilled of using C's. So the pills were still the most stable thing we could think of. And so in July I stopped using it. When hubby came back it was more the calendar method.
When my period didn't come this October, I didn't think any of it. Might be delayed. I might be stressed. We did our counting and all seemed well. Or so I thought. Just for the fun of it, I tried taking the test with an old kit I kept at home. For some reason I can't even remember why I had it. And then it turned positive. And with the many things I read about the topic, I could remember so well that its more common and probable to have a false negative than to have a false positive.
And the rest, as they say, is history. :-) Jessica is turning 4 in May and I'll be due in June. Hopefully I can give Jess a jollibee party before I'm due as a tribute to being the only child. And so she won't feel too jealous when the baby comes out.
We are happy for the blessings. While its a bit earlier that we expected it, we're just as happy knowing that we have been blessed again. God is really great. He gives us what our hearts truly, truly desire.
