I've always appreciated soothing music... Bossa, RNB, etc... but so far, nothing compares to the sweetest sound of our baby's heartbeat. Hearing it for the very first time almost reduced me to tears... seeing the funny look on Boboy's face made it all the more difficult to hold back the tears.
It took about three weeks before our little one's heart became visible through the ultrasound device. That was also the first time that we both heard the beating of his/her heart. It sounded like the beat of a bass drum, and it was the sweetest music that ever graced my ears in my 28 years of living on this planet. I wanted to hear it again and again and again. What pure joy it was! I wished then that I could hear it every second. I didn't want that moment to end. It was just so amazing... ;-)
The ultrasound was performed by Doc Juliet Coching. An OBGyn-Sonologist whom Ate Nica (my officemate) recommended. She comes in at an earlier hour than the previous OB so the waiting does not take forever even if there are several patients.
I was getting used to the TVS-thing so it didn't post so much as a discomfort anymore. Besides, the result of that scan was so wonderful. I wouldn't mind going through it again and again as long as I get to hear that sweet sound of my baby's heart.
Our baby at that time was smaller than an apple seed. It was so small, it looked like a white dot in the ultrasound screen. The doc said it was the heart. I couldn't wait for it to develop a head, its arms, legs, etc..etc...
Di naman ako masyadong excited noh?... Well, Boboy is another story. He couldn't wait for my tummy to show up. Somehow, the ultrasound wasn't convincing enough for him that indeed, I am impregnated with his child. hahay! ;-)
