Where is my baby?

2009, February 18, Wednesday

After one of her check ups, my sis and I met. She told me something really funny that I have to share it. Being a first time mum, she is new to many things. She always is conscious about her getting bigger. She is one of those new age mums that do not fancy maternity wear. So she got herself some trendy bigger clothes. At the moment however she still can fit into some of her clothes.

That morning as she was dressing up, she realized that she needed to extend her skirt with a safety pin. But she could not see the seam to pin it on. She tried a couple of times but still couldn't see. So my smart sister, took a deep breath and wondered why her tummy did not get sucked in for her to see the skirt. It made me laugh so hard. I mean what was she thinking. By breathing in, was the baby going to move to you back to rearrange your breath??! Poor thing has so much to learn about being a new expectant mum. But like all mothers she will eventually get the hang of things.

Coming back to the doctor's appointment. She mentioned that she had the photo of the scan that they took... but there is one problem, "I can't find the baby" she said sadly. This was such a Rachel Green moment I thought to myself. Then I showed her where the baby was and thought that it was such a miracle of life that I would like to share it with the world. I never had the time or know-how to treasure these moments with my first born but its not too late, here is another miracle of life that I can cherish. (just that I don't have to carry or give birth to, just to enjoy)
