Have I told you that being pregnant is the most wonderful feeling in the whole wide world?
Well I don’t know how it feels yet to be a mom, so I can’t compare it to being a mommy. But I’m confident for those who haven’t felt what it’s like being a mom, being pregnant is the best ever. Period.
Alhamdulillah I’m constantly happy.
Things got impossibly better a month ago. I went to a new obgyn. Again. For the fourth time. Not to mention this was the second hospital I went to. But I like my new obgyn, she’s much more communicative than the previous ones.
I wasn’t supposed to have another ultrasound thing at that appointment, but since this was a new obgyn she had to see my baby firsthand, right. And honestly I loooved it when they did the ultrasound cause I got to SEE my baby, a lovely tiny human inside my tummy, moving, kicking, playing with its hands, dancing, doing arabesque, doing pirouette… Who didn’t get a kick out of that?
Well cutting to the chase, when she was doing the ultrasound thing, checking up on my baby, I let out one single complain about how I still couldn’t feel my baby kicking and I was already 19 weeks and a half which was somewhat equal to 5 months right? Even Mr. D’s cousin who’s in her 16 weeks could feel her baby twitching and moving already. I felt it all right, but it felt only like subtle movement which I could easily misinterpret. It could had been just my too-desperate imaginary mind. And I was a month ahead of her. I should had been in a higher level right? But the obgyn soothed me by saying it was normal and it would happen in the next couple of days.
Next thing I knew, when I was on my way home from the hospital I felt a nudge in my tummy!!!!!
I’d known my baby had been smart but I couldn’t help myself. I couldn’t stop marveling at the fact that she-heard-me. She heard me saying that I wanted to feel her nudge and kick. And I couldn’t get over the fact that maybe she wanted to tell me that she was ok, to tell me not to worry, and that she wanted me to feel her too.
This is so overwhelming. Alhamd, I’m so blessed I know....
And oh, I’m itching to tell you something that lighted up my end of July even more. One of my bestfriend had to go on a business trip to none other than Hongkong Disneyland !
I - KNOW!
Who didn’t envy her? Haha. But before you decide to hate her, let me tell you, she deserved every minute of it there, and the best thing of all was she didn’t get me anything from there. She got MY BABY a little something instead! She got her Disney baby vests ! Not only it was her first Disney item, it’s also her first baby item cause following the tradition I hadn’t bought her anything cause she was still 5 months old (actually the tradition says till 7 months, but i think i should've got a gold medal just being able to hold it that long)
Easy to guess, seeing and feeling the mild fabric of those super cute vests, I couldn’t help but want more. Cause it made it all more real. I mean, not that I thought it was just all in my mind but looking at those tiny rompers I could picture there’s a tiny human snuggling in there.
THANK YOU SOO MUCH my dear anonymous bestie ☺ and oh, since I cant help myself, here’s a photo of me with the super tiny rompers =D
Too bad I didn’t get the chance to take a photo of them and this bestie of mine ☹
and oh forgot to mention, that i'm very happy she got the getaway she very much deserved. it was a business trip, but still ! it's Hongkong Disneyland ! haha
on almost the same note, another bestie of mine got my baby a cute little something too. God i have the most wonderful friends.
but her story freaked me out a little bit actually. we were hanging out in some mall, and she just realized that this particular mall had a very nice baby department called Miniapolis. after dinner, she dragged me all the way to this baby section, looking more excited than i was. we didnt go that far, cause as far as we reached the first store on our right she towed me by the hand, barged in, aaaaand she went nuts. she literally got five items in her hands in mere 10 minutes. and as she hurried to the cashier to pay for it all, i panicked. did she really want and NEED to buy those adorable rompers, babygros and super mini dresses with the matching bloomers? i was the only one who was expecting a baby. but YES, she really felt that it was necessary for HER to buy MY BABY those endearing baby stuff.
it got into a pretty long battle. me - furtively drooling over those unspeakable rompers - trying to make her see sense that she didn't need to buy them cause i knew already she loved my baby very much, her - obviously worshipping those darling rompers - rambling on about how darling they were. and oh, the saleslady, watching us with amused face.
so i let out my ultimatum. i told her that i would be mad if she made the purchase.
god forbid her to take me seriously :( but finally, she gave in and agreed on buying only ONE (there was no way she would go out of the store without one
so, here's a picture of her with the romper she finally picked.
again, THANK YOU SOO MUCH my dear bestie. si gemes and i love youuuu beautiful aunties :*
