It was just 20 years 6 months ago when I first heard her heartbeat during my 3rd month pregnancy check-up. I was near to tears when I heard her strong heartbeat as I was facing difficulty in conceiving her after my miscarriage. I made sure I ate right and got plenty of rest as well as sleep.
One morning on 12 May, I had a tummy ache. So off to the toilet I went but the pain stopped. This happened quite a number of times. Then my hubby said "It's the sign of the baby coming!" I did not panic. Packed a few things then headed for the hospital.
The pain got worse but I could stand it. Then a nurse came and asked me if I would like to take the injection to ease the pain. At the nick of time I remembered my friend once told me not to take any as it would affect me later on. So bravely I told the nurse,"No, thanks". Little would I know the pain would get so bad. Soon I was wheeled into the delivery room. At first it was freezing cold. A minute later I was sweating! When my Gynecologist came, she was fast and efficient in delivering my baby. Within minutes I was holding my baby that was so fragile, big eyes , red lips and skin so white. She reminded me of Snow White! With her in my arms, admiring her little features, did I realise the pain when my placenta was removed!!
Thinking back all these years how I prepared her for kindergarten, primary school, secondary school then to college. Lucky for me her first 2 years in college was in Penang. She did well and we were very proud of her.
Sadly, she had to further her Advance Diploma in KL. Of course, like every mother I cried to myself a lot. My little baby is leaving the nest. I always reminded myself that she is a grown woman now with a life of her own. But I did and still do remind her that no matter what, she is still my little baby and that in my eyes she is the little Snow White I love very much.
