I gotta be honest with you. I didn't doll-up on my first date with your Da-da. I didn't make the effort, not even a bit. It didn't even felt like a date. More like a hang-out with bestie. I was that comfortable with Da-da. Ah well, we didn't even have a movie date till we entered 4 months of datinghood. Itupun, pergi with your Atuk and Mak Long! 6 months after that, Da-da sent in rombongan merisik and we got married few months after that. Sweetheart, let me remind you that love should always be simple.
But that's not the story. The story is, last Sunday, May 29th 2011, I took a long shower, put on my best clothes, sprayed some Giorgio Armani and anxiously waited for my little date with you. I thought, 'well, if Dr. Delaila tells me that you don't get enough nutrition, at least I smell and look nice for you kan.'
But little fella, I smelled nice and looked my best the day I saw you gave a kung-fu kick and a fist to the air (is it because of the Giorgio Armani?) I did not quite expect to see such 'a wave of hello' from you!
The last time I saw you, there was only a black dot with a white thing on the screen, pumping so fast, which happened to be your heartbeat. But when Da-da cried 'I see the baby!' and I turned to the screen; I saw and fell in love (again) with you! The first thing I spotted was how sharp your nose is. And oh, how you've grown! From a tiny blueberry to my beautiful little baby. Dr. Delaila said that you're so cute as you made a tiny kick to say hello as we were busy staring at you. She laughed at this.
As she explained about your condition 'everything looks great. baby is healthy. no signs of down-syndrome and lets count your baby's fingers'; you showed us your fist and slowly opened it for us to count. How bright and clever you are! As we counted to four, you lifted your thumb and we went 'yay! Yep! There are five on the right hand alright!' I cried in joy. You made my heart skipped a bit, sayang.
And then to our surprise, you opened your leg a bit and we could saw something that hinted your gender. Dr. Delaila cringed her nose and asked 'do you guys wanna know the gender?' and we shouted 'yes!' but im'ma keep it mum till we can really confirm it. What a tease you are, little fella!
We also saw your heart beats and with Dr. Delaila's magical doppler, we heard the 'boop, woop, woop' sound. Alhamdullilah. There's nothing else in this world that I could ever ask for, other than that you, my hunny bunny, to be in good health. The best news was of course, that the danger of blood cyst that measured 6cm and could cause you harm, was completely gone. My prayers have been answered. Da-da and I still can't stop talking about you and we watch the ultrasound video every night. I can't wait to move towards my second trimester today with hope that I'm gonna be more positive.
You know something, my dream about having a child named (secret!) two months before I found out I was pregnant.....really do come true.
p/s this is how you look like at 11 weeks!
