Dr. Tan has asked us to admit today, before 10 p.m., in the hospital for the day we have been waiting since last 9 months. We are very excited and at the same time nervous. Our bags are packed and all necessary preparation is done to welcome our new one home. Baby's cornor and his cribe is ready in our own room. Laundries are done and we ironed all his dresses. Its just 4 p.m., Samir is in his class to collect the books. I have done everything ready which will help to keep our nerves normal while leaving. Once Samir is home we had our dinner and now waiting for a vehicle. At 9:15 p.m. there is a call that our vehicle is waiting downstairs. There is a mixed emotion of anxiety and fear on my face. Am thinking of coming home two-plus-one. We are now in the lift silent. My hands are on my tummy, I want to feel every kicks of my baby. My sister has told me to enjoy it fully coz we are going to miss it. During the last days of my pregnancy, I could feel his feet at the right of my tummy. Whenever I feel it I become despo to play with his feet and hands in my hands. Breaking our deep silence, Samir is, now, trying to feel baby's movement. I know he will be the one to miss baby's heartbeats, kicks and his movements. He has been communicating with the unborn baby and baby also enjoys the Dadly Touch of his father. I feel his movements whenever Samir wants to talk to our baby inside. Samir now takes my hands in his trying to comfort me but I know he is as nervous as I am.
Now we are in the hospital doing necessary documents and processes for admission. We receive warm welcome from all staffs at the front desk of labor suite. With a long sigh in relief we are now moving towards the labour suite.
