love at first sight

Posted by Dwight-and-Aileen on Mar 7, '06 6:58 PM for Dwight-and-Aileen's contacts

march 6, 2006

i turned my head slowly. on the screen was the blurry, off-kilter view of someone slightly hard to figure out yet. but i already knew it was him (or her). 

as i took in the sight, a single tear started welling up in the corner of right eye ... somehow, artistically altering the view. and just right there and then, i noticed the sound.

th-thump ... th-thump ... th-thump ....

then another tear fell ... then another and another. good thing i had my geeky glasses on ... it hid those happy tears freely flowing as i lay down in bed, staring back at the black and white screen before me.

my heart was beating. fast. loudly. firmly. decisively. i could hear it clearly ... like a huge church bell ringing in my ears .... and felt it beating throughout my whole body.

th-thump ... th-thump .... th-thump ....

it felt as if my heart was so huge ... so full ... ready to explode. it had all of my power, all of my strength and in that very moment, i felt my heart was the strongest force in the world ... my world.

th-thump ... th-thump ... th-thump ...

as the day progressed, the sound of my heart seemed almost muted by the sound of the world around me. but i haven't forgotten the intensity of that single moment back at the clinic. on my way home, i sat there quietly at the back of the taxi cab.... and with a silly grin on my face. 

it sure was love at first sight. 

"can't wait to meet you, our precious little one.
although you are not here yet,
please know in your heart that we already love you so much.
daddy and mommy love to talk to you each and every day ...
and couldn't wait for that time
when we could touch your face or hold you by the hand.
you're the best thing that we have ever done ....
you're our life, our love ...
you're our ultimate gift from above."
