Little Steps #1

 It was the second week of Ramadan.

I have been missing my date for about a week. It was quite a normal occurrence so I was not that worried. But the one thing that made me  restless was that I was restless. Something is going on with my body that I was not accustomed to. 

Macam serba tak kena saja.

So on the way back from work, I made a stop at a local pharmacy and bought two pregnancy kits. It may be false alarm, but at least I can put my mind to rest if its negative and enjoy the rest of my Ramadan.

I did not place much hope but imagine my surprise when I saw two lines appearing on the kit. 

SubhanAllah. 

I did my sujud syukur immediately after my bath - but still, I have some mixed feelings. Being a healthcare worker meant that I was exposed to cases, stories and incidents that may not be widely known to the public. Plus I had my previous experience of blighted ovum back in 2016. What if the gestational sac is empty again?

But at that time, let's just share the news to my beloved life mate first, and worry about that later.
