Its really there!!

Date: Feb 23rd 2008, Time: 11:45 AM on a saturday was one of my most exciting days. The most eagerly awaited day had arrived. I was a little nervous and curious at the same time, not to mention how badly i needed to pee. The doc had advised me to come with a full bladder for my ultra sound and that's what i did. I just gulped at least a gallon of water..maybe a slight exaggeration but nearly that amount. The queue in the scan center was never ending and i was determined to finsh the examination in the very first shot! Who would want to go through the torture of waiting for the bladder to get full all over again? After waiting for nearly 2 hrs in the hospital, my turn finally came. I was releived but i had more anxious moments in the scanning room. The doctor asked me to lie down and put a cold greasy liquid just above my bladder and started to move the scanner around pressing against my already full and bursting at its seams bladder. I thought i needed a bed pan, but luckily she asked me to pee. imagine my relief!! So i took a looong time in the bath room and i then hopped onto to the bed eagerly waiting to see my baby! But the doctor didnt tell me anything, she just kept rattling off some numbers to another lady in the room. i lost patience and asked "Is the baby there and is everything ok"? She nodded with a smile. This went on for abt another 20 mins and i asked her what was taking so long cos other women were out in a jiffy. She said she was having a hard time locating all the organs to see if everything was ok because the baby kept moving around the place. I then thought to myself in that case the baby must be surely a boy, but then i am hoping its a naughty girl. Anything is fine really as long as it is normal and healthy. I still hadnt seen my baby and this point she signalled Ringo inside and then showed us our baby!!
We thought we would cry. The sense of joy that came was unbeliveable. There it was this tiny little thing that you've made moving around, moving its arms and legs like such a cutie pie. it was so amazing. We saw all his/her body parts, heart beating, arms moving etc!!
It was the best day in my life!! It was beautiful!! Came away smiling from one ear to another. Could hardly wait to share this experience with ppl at home!! Thank god!

I have no title to this blog!! It is going to be a long and hard day today. the worst day in my life..i guess i could say that. To come into work and find out that your mailbox is flooded with messages that show the mistake i made has affected thousands of people!! Just not what i needed after a night of no sleep!! It is so depressing beyond imagination....never thought i could feel so low!! Sometimes work is depressing....find it useless to even make any effort to make myself feel better. It is hopeless today!!
