The First Heartbeat

Last Saturday, October 3, 2009, my hubby Glester and I went to visit my OB-Gyne, Dr. Richelle Acuna at the Bukidnon Provincial Hospital at Maramag, Bukidnon. We were to meet her at 1P.M. it was my monthly prenatal schedule.

So went our afternoon, Dr. Ging met us and she told me we would listen to our baby's heartbeat. We were four in the room, my doctor, my hubby and my mama, Rovi. i was not so certain what to feel but i am certain i am very excited. the Doppler instrument was then placed on my top my womb, and whoa! i heard a horse-like tramping in the wilderness. Believe me, i thought of a paradise when i heard the sound, i wan't so certain what that was as it was my first time to hear it. Dr. Ging said, "Siya na yon! (That is her/him, the gender of our baby wasn't known yet as she/he must be covering it yet-- maybe for surprise effect!)" MY! is it real? am i hearing it right? Can't believe up till now there is this precious life inside me! So this is it-- being a WOMAN!

In my glee, i looked at Glester who's face spells awe and happiness. I can read clearly his almond-shaped eyes saying "I love you and the baby!" i never thought, i'd feel this kind of joy.

So on the counting of the heartbeat go, and all of a sudden when i asked Glester, "Did you hear that?" He answered in his usual carefree way "Murag baki! Murag tingog sa baki!" (It sounds like frog! Like the sounds of frogs!" I can't help but laugh along in his good spirit! Indeed, the baby's heartbeat has the power to make you imagine a many thousand things... but on top all that, it makes you think of heaven here on earth!
