JAWS and cheesecake

Ramil and I woke up later than scheduled last Saturday for my ob visit. We were both lazy to prepare breakfast so we opted to just buy from Mcdo in Eastwood on the way to St.Luke's. The weather was very unpredictable that day, raining very hard one moment and then totally stopping the next. As a result, we found ourselves stuck in traffic along E.Rodriguez Ave. We barely got to the clinic on time but it was nice because we barely had to wait until it was our turn.

After a few pleasantries and the usual things, my doctor told me to lie down in the examination room so we can check for a heartbeat. Medyo nagdalawang-isip pa sya pagpasok, sabi nya 'Kaso 10 weeks pa lang pero sige, payat ka naman'. Pagpatong nya ng doppler sa tummy ko biglang 'tug, tug...' na sobrang lakas, parang sumisigaw si baby. Sabi tuloy ni doktora, 'naku, tawagin ko si husband'. Pagpasok ni Ramil sa examination room, biglang nahiya ata. Hehe! It took us a few minutes looking for it again. Medyo nakakatawa kasi tatlo kami sa examination room na sobra quiet habang si doktora ay hinahanap un heartbeat. And then finally, we heard it! Ang bilis ng heartbeat nya. Ramil and I just looked at each other with silly smiles plastered on our faces and with him pressing hard on my ankles. Afterwards, Ramil described it as something from the Jaws movie - the sound whenever a shark is near.

It was a great experience hearing our baby for the first time. I was even wondering how much a doppler is because I wanted to listen to the baby again. Despite the heavy traffic and the heavy rains, those few minutes made our day.

As our celebratory 'gift' I sweet-talked Ramil into buying cheesecake from Uno in Tomas Morato on our way home. We bought a whole cake,hehe! This cheesecake is the best cheesecake I've tasted so far though it's not like your usual cheesecake. I would crave for it everytime it entered my mind and it was the perfect ending to our first encounter with our baby.
