When i realized you were conceived, I got paranoid.
Wondering how i will cope, for the first time bringing a life into this world.
What type of a mother will i be? What if you slip nd fall?
What if you cry at night? What do I do?
Honestly I was scared, and at the same time there was joy.
An extreme feeling of awe.
Then, motherly instincts took over.
Snow melted on my face.
When i saw your sonogram.
Like tinted roses, my cheeks hued with the joy within.
It was love at first sight.
I threw up at the scent of my favorite perfume.
Indomie became my favorite food.
The waistline i fussed about, the flat tommy i worked hard for.
All, of those, didn't matter anymore.
My hands were placed to feel your every toss and turn.
Your kicks brought smiles to my face.
I didn't care that my skin got enlarged, I didn't mind the pain.
I gradually transformed from endowed, to a round figure 9.
Yet, all i cared about was you.
When I heard your cries for the first time, I swear my heart stopped.
You were a full package.
Everything I've dreamt of, and more.
And when i finally held you, I couldn't stop the tears.
You were breathtaking.
And, i couldn't believe that you are mine.
Alhamdulillah.
