thumb-sucking frisky little angel

Our baby was veeerrrry active, as in! Sa kalikutan nya, sandali lang kami don pero nakita namin lahat ng klase ng view: front view, back view, and side view. Kakatakot daw un itsura nung nakaharap yung face sabi ni Ramil, hehe! Our baby kept on raising both fists in a pumping manner and was even making jump-like movements. He/she even opened his/her palms wide as if saying hi and then stuck his/her thumb in his/her mouth. The sonologist kept on commenting on how frisky the baby is. Sabi nga nya, lumiliyad pa daw. Towards the end of the session, the sonologist tried to get the heart rate of our baby. After several attempts, she said ‘aba, pasaway’. She couldn’t get the heart rate because of all our baby’s movements. Kaya sabi ko tuloy ‘baby, tama na ha’. Aba, tumigil sya ng kakagalaw! Galing!

Ramil and I went home on a natural-high, the high of seeing our baby. The pregnancy feels more real to us now. The baby is really a baby and not just a what-if. I went out of the ultrasound room with the desire to bring home that amazing machine. Imagine having one inside our own house! It makes me want to look at our little angel over and over again.
