The date - Dec 1st
2011
Wonder if it was fate or jus pure co-incidence, both our
parents were un-available in Chennai on Dec 1st.
We land upon the clinic at 1:00PM for our 1:30PM
appointment.. Both of us tensed, both of us anxious, afraid to talk, thinking
that it was a taboo. I still remember those chairs and the notice boards that
took the heat!!!
The nurse calls up my wife's name for the routine
pre-consultation routine. Again the waiting continues, when someone from the
front desk comes and asks if we would be with the clinic till the delivery, my
response to her, evokes one of the most angriest stares towards me, saying
don’t even try to jinx this NOW!!!
Wow, the moment was like sitting on a live valcano and
cooking, or even better, standing before a firing squad with you having the
power to telling the word "fire". Am not able to word the tension on
that day, but something’s are better not word'ed ;)
At last, the nurse called us inside to meet the Doc.
The brief conversation as below;
The doc - Have you done you regular home test
She - Yes, once on 19th - but did not get the correct color
or so I tot.
Doc - Ok, so?
She - So, I did it once on 22nd and it gave the color OK
Doc - Ok good.
She - I did it once on 24th and again once on 28th
too.. Just to make sure the color
remained..
Doc - :O :O :O So,
did the color change well???!!! The doc was really amused..
So, many times????!!! I know I bot her 2 kits, but 4??? Wow,
gals are incredibly complex creatures!!!!
The doc did the Ultrasound and showed us the fetal heart
beat.. Small, rhythmic, un-imaginable.. Like a reflection.. Everything else
from then on was just out of focus.. The doc shows some sac or some other
stuff, but I hear nothing.. I see nothing.. ppl might think this is a bit
dramatic, but am sure, ppl who have experienced this would vouch for me!!!
YES, it was confirmed on that day, December the 1st-2011,
that we would be getting a huge promotion in our lives in another 10mnts.
Indeed it was confirmed that my wife would be the carrier for the bundle of our
joy..
