My beginnings

The story of my birth naturally begins at conception.
I suppose I was conceived nine months before my birth.
That should have been late November or early December of 2009.
I can discuss WHEN I was conceived.
I don't have to discuss HOW I was conceived.
How should I know? I wasn't existing yet.
My mom, was delayed in her monthly period in December.
Finally on December 31, 2009, still no period, she bought a pregnancy tester at a local drug store in Dumaguete.
The family was to take a ferry trip to Tagbilaran City on that day.
So my mother didn't use the tester until she arrived in Tagbilran city for the family reunion.
Upon arrival at the ancestral home in Tagbilaran City, my mother went straight to the bathroom and took the urine pregnancy test.
The results were positive.
After eleven years, she was having another baby in her womb.
That was me.
