November 2009. The month that changed everything in my relationship with h2b. As the month of November came to a close, the h2b and I received the biggest news of our lives. The news that challenged everything we had at the moment. We found out that we were pregnant.
My world was shaken. Although I had a clue of what was coming, I still wished for the pregnancy test result to be negative. But it was POSITIVE. We were pregnant.
After we learned about our pregnancy, everything came crashing like waves. My emotions were all over the place. I was at a shock. Lost at what to do. I was just 23 and he was 22. We were too young. Barely started out at adulthood. We were immature!
When the whole thing finally sunk in, we faced the new chapter of our lives with our heads held high. It was, after all, our own doing. No one else to blame but ourselves. So, with the new responsibility on our hands, we pursued with the pregnancy and owned up to the
consequences of our actions.
consequences of our actions.
The journey of pregnancy wasn't easy. Although the baby and myself were perfectly healthy, I was emotionally not. H2b and I constantly argued. My feelings were all over the place. Blame hormones. My emotional stress was at it's peak. I felt miserable. To be fair though, it wasn't entirely h2b's fault. Actually, I was just too sensitive. Everything was heightened, even the smallest of things. And h2b was still coping with the new responsibility he was carrying on his shoulder. It wasn't easy for the both of us.
Despite the roller coaster of emotions during the nine-month pregnancy, we managed to keep the love alive. Yes, there were days when we almost gave up on each other, but the fire of love that we felt for each other was stronger than our woes. We struggled but we survived!
On August 1 of the following year, our precious blessing arrived. It was the renewal of our love. A celebration of new life. The beginning of another journey. The journey of parenthood.
