An Anxious Wait
Salam ppl, I'm back online. Nope, the baby hasn't came out yet. That's the most frequent sms text msg that I've to reply to my friends and relatives in the past 2, 3 days. And it keeps on coming! Thanx for each and everyone of your concern. May your prayers be with me. Gosh, I'm touched. Sob,...sob... Some of them convinced me to call them 24/7 if there's any sign of the baby coming out and will come straight to the hospital despite of what time it is. And some precious friends, even felt guilty for having their engagement ceremony on my baby's due date, afraid of missing the precious moment of the yet, unborn child! Heh, congrats Yanz and Mod. Gua dah start dapat hidu dah ni nasi minyak kat Kota Singa! Don't worry, you guys haven't missed anything yet.
I must say that these past 2,3 days (that includes the weekend as well!) was the most anticipated yet anxious feeling I've ever had in my life. Last year's most anxious moment was during my akad nikah which thank god went well and now,... this one. I just can't help myself but to spend every minute being by my beloved wife, waiting in anticipation, prepparing for that dreaded moment. It felt like every seconds count. Whatever happens, I'm not gonna miss this precious moment of fatherhood. I'm not just gonna let it slip away. No way. I wanna be there for her through all the progress from A to Z especially in this last stage of pregnancy, comforting her in every way that I can coz I know, this is the time where she's gonna need me most. Insya Allah, may god be with me.
For those who didn't noticed, I was on EL on Friday. Thursday night and Honey was starting to feel painful & throbbing in her tummy with active movement of the baby and all when all of of a sudden after I massaged her stomach, the movement just stopped. We waited for a while, hoping to feel some movement or a kick but there was still no sign of it. Thinking that it was normal, we both went to sleep. The next morning after our subuh prayer, Honey panicked claiming that there's still no motion of the baby inside her even though normally in the mornings, the baby would usually be the one to 'wake up' first before her. Nervous, we went to the hospital to check if everything is allright. The wait for the results was damn breathtaking. We couldn't help but fearing the worst although I had Honey's palm in mine helplessly trying to assure her that everything's gonna be okay. Thank god, after a quick scan the doctor assured us that the baby is okay. The reason for the not so active movement was just because the size of the baby which has already grown which makes inadequate space for his/her movement. The scan showed a healthy heart rate and the measurements was promising as well and we need not to worry. Alhamdulillah... Her gynist also remind us that up till Friday if she still doesn't feel any contraction, she will have to be referred to the hospital for further examination.
And up till now, the anticipation continues...
