Announcing the Pregnancy! 18th Nov 2004
I got back from the clinic early and wanted to call everyone! Of course, I called the guy who is responsible for all these. Jan! He was so excited! For the first time, we cried, tears of ultimate joy!
Then I wanted to call Jan’s parents but it is 4am in Netherlands. I then called my mom. I told her the good news! She was so glad and kept saying Ameen…Ameen. She told me not to climb stairs too much or eat too acidic food. She told me not to be so active anymore, like running or rearrange teak furnitures in my house. She told me to take lots of water and vegetables and fruits. Lots of advice from the grandma of my baby! hehehe. I then called Auntie Bee. My 2nd auntie. I told her that I am pregnant and she told me she knew already! My mum just spoke to her. Good news travels fast! I called Auntie Noor. My smallest auntie and I told her that I am pregnant. This time I am faster than my mum. hehehe.
In the evening, after Jan got back from him office, we decided to call Jan’s parents. They were overjoyed. Everyone was congratulating me and Jan and everything was so perfect. I told them about the 2 tests that I did and the doctor visit this morning and how happy Jan and me are. We also told them that the baby is arriving in July. This is their 1st grandchild for them and for my parents as well. This is going to be an exciting pregnancy!!
