Week 4

As I lay in my dentist's chair (my life time pursuit of a near perfect Holywood smile) my mind lazily stumbled from one subject onto another. Two hours with an open mouth could be very boring and tiring, I couldnt sleep, or talk, or watch tv, or eat....My options were to look at my dentist and his assistant (not very exciting, must admit) or close eyes and think of things in general ... Being a busy mum of a 4 year old and in a band, I enivitably thought of calendars, things to do, people to call, emails to send. Eventually, it struck me that I am close to my "red army" days which I had been dreading in the last few months as with hormonal change came Bad Migraine. Migraine attacks were quite severe with a blinding pain, and total inability to function....no medicine seemed to help. These attacks would come unannounced and I couldnt prepare for them.. As usual, I was looking for signs that "red army" days would bring with them: am I eating too much? are my boobs sore and tender? any mood swings? I've realised that all the answers were negative, I felt absolutely fine. I started counting days from the last army visit and it turned out that I was due the "October Revolution" that very day, yet there were no signs of bloshevik troops.
And it slowly dawned on me that I might be pregnant. I was excited that I might have fallen pregnant. Later that Friday, 9th of April I spoke to my husband and told him that I was late (only one day but my body works like a clock).I decided to go and buy a test on Monday. It was only sensible.However, next morning I was in Boots holding Clearblue pregnancy test in my hands. It was positive.
POSITIVE!!!!!
Immediately texted Husband. He texted back with "wow", forever cryptic.Then I texted my big sister in KZ. I said: "Suyunshi" which means: "Good news" in Kazakh.
She came back: "Pregnant?"
"Yes"
She texted; "Im crying"
"Don't tell mum, I want to tell her myself"
In less than 5 seconds she came back: "Too late, I already told her"
Damn!!!
