These were the words of our OB Gynecologist when we paid her a visit last Saturday. By those words she was referring to my wife, Christine, who on that day is already on the 9th month of her pregnancy. Our pregnancy I should say. By those words, I felt a sudden gush of excitement overriding the whole of my body. The feeling of relief that the 9 months of waiting is almost over and that in a few days time, I shall be carrying on my arms is nothing short of magical.
Well it has really been a roller coaster past nine months for us. I did not expect to be experiencing this at some point especially since I really do not see myself as the marrying type. Close friends of mine and other people might disagree but I see myself as a happy-go-lucky and laid back person. Until recently, I never really cared much about how I look. Much more will you even see me ogling at the latest trend in fashion or even dream of getting high paying job for that matter. Yup, for me it all falls according to plan and they will come when it is time.
Those things have changed now. I know and have faith that things did fell accordingly but more than that, I am much much blessed that I am having a little girl soon. And I mean soon! The small and petty things that used to take up much of my time in the past now seemed so... well petty and little. No more magnification of things. Much more, I have learned to value those things that matter. Including those that I have, I could have and even those that I could not have. Right now, all that matters is this little angel that I will soon call my child.
Heck, I don't even care if I am making any sense right now!
