Bam Bam

Today we saw our baby. Alive and well. We even saw him move. OMG. The whole experience was very surreal mainly because I saw the whole thing through blurry eyes as I couldn't stop crying. But thanks be to God, our baby's heart was beating and all looked good. As everyone has been so sure it's a boy we nicknamed him Bam Bam a while ago but I didn't want to say this out loud until I got passed this point.


What a day. I burst into tears as soon as I walked into the scan room. I was nervous as all hell. Dr. B came straight in and didn't waste anytime. The scan wasn't totally crystal clear as we just did an over the belly scan and did it very quickly. But we clearly saw the placenta, the umbilical cord and of course the baby's head and body. We even saw Bam Bam's head move. Lots of crying and lots of relief. In fact it has been so emotional, that I am quite exhausted now. So so grateful for all your support and for this amazing blessing that has come to us. I hope now I can finally begin to enjoy this pregnancy. Insh'Allah.
