10th April 2012: My World Took 180° Turn


10th April 2012: The most amazing day of my life.......... It was so rich, so delighting, so pure, so touching and an out of the world experience that could make up a complete woman in me.

Recollecting the words by my loving dad and stories by my best-friend mom, I was back indulged in the little spluttering and bubbling going in inside me. Wow, it went and it went on, it would not stop, or may be, I also didn’t want it to stop. Still wondering, yes, a life is breathing inside me.

No more I have to imagine that someone is coming in my life, my very own, my inner self, my reflection and of course the certificate (as I love to call it) of my relationship of 10 years with the love of my life. After months of anticipation and nervousness, it was amazing to feel it for almost the whole day. Naughty darling just moved after every few words I wrote on my monotonous workstation (me, being a content writer). Suddenly, the new father sends an SMS making me realise that I am not the only contributor to its existence :P “How r u both of my babies?” He loves to call me baby too as he believes that I have still not grown..... because I still crave for unusual things like shouting unnecessarily, jumping on bed, fussing to eat and much more............

Waiting for the next screening when we will see its little fingers moving ( I don’t know, this is what my Dr. Says)
