Butterflies in my tummy

I wrote below entry a month ago.......

I'm having a mixed feeling now. I still get butterflies and it's hard to make it go away. Of course we were so happy when we came to know that Mel is pregnant. We have been married for 6 years and this is our first experience. It was too early and we are not ready to tell anybody but our parents. Somehow, we need some advice after the doctor said Mel is having subchorionic hematoma. I started googling and found out in lament term it calls "threaten abortion". It scares me and Mel. Mel has been on "duphaston " for the past 2 weeks and has been on bed rest since then. We went to another doctor to get second opinion. He didn't tell much but just giving us the same drugs with more dosage. Mel visa was expired. Since the 1st doctor did not allow her to fly, we just forfeit our ticket to Bahrain, and asking help from Malaysian Embassy. I had a hard time to get her visa extension. I felt very sad and almost crying there when that stupid officer could say. "I donno. if she's pregnant why she comes here" To make it short, the embassy staff managed to get one week extension and now we are in the process to get 6 months visa without flying out of the country.
This morning we went for third check up and the baby (fetus) looks fine. It is 9 weeks and 4 days. We could hear the heart beat very well, and the doctor explain the formation of head and hand. Still a small clot still there. Mel still has to be on duphaston but with less dosage. 2 times a day with one tablet each. Flying still forbidden until next check up. Hopefully thing goes well and she could fly back to KL and continue the check up at HUKM as planned.

It has been 6 years. It's not easy to be us. I haven't told my brother in Penang. May be he will find out later from my dad. The only reason we called them first because we wanted them to pray for us.
Anyway, thanks to everybody that pray for us and keep on praying for the mommy and baby.
Doakan kami dapat zuriat yang terbaik dari Allah s.w.t
