Something New in My Life

first glimpse
the first glimpse


(April 17)...our second trip to my OB (the first was pretty much uneventful, concentrating only on my gastrointestinal upset), and she had just ordered a transV ultrasound after trying to detect my baby's heatbeat with the help of her Doppler instrument, to no avail. I knew it wasn't something to worry about since i've been reading up on the pregnancy bible "what to expect when you're expecting" and since i'm only on my 9th week of pregnancy, i know for a fact that the chances (of hearing the heartbeat) are still very slim. Still, i had hoped, and i had been quite concerned.

And so i was scheduled for an ultrasound later that day, and it was an experience extraordinaire...

From the moment the sonographer said "there's your baby!", met the eager look of my husband's face, and then finally, seeing the first concrete sign that there is indeed a baby growing inside of me, i was totally dumbfounded and overwhelmed by so much emotions. I wanted to cry. And then i heard my baby's rapid heartbeat that i had to giggle like a little kid. i was just too happy. =)

***
Still haven't recovered from my ultrasound experience, i was on senti mode when we got home and as i tried to rest (i feel sooo tired all the time!) with my feet up, i listened to my ipod and this song struck me... this was our song from way way back and it held a different meaning to me now... tears flowed freely when i heard it for quite a number of times... *sigh*

i guess i wanted something new in my life
a new key to fit a new door
to wake and see a different view in my life
the one i've been waiting for

dreams like everyone i've had a few in my life
who knew that this one would come true in my life
i knew the moment when you touched me, you touched me

you're like a sudden breeze that blew in my life
a new face, a new smile, new song
and now i know i wanted you in my life all along

i guess, i must have saved an empty place in my heart
for you to come and fill this space in my heart
that long before i said i love you, i loved you

whatever happens this is true in my life
when all the springs have come and gone
whatever doubts i made or do in my life
whatever else that i may do in my life
you'll always be something new in my life
from now on

i know there always will be you in my life
from now on...
