First time pregnant

3 weeks after my wedding day i got the biggest news, that I'm pregnant! I was so so so so so happy, that I red the lab result many many times to make sure it's true and I'm not daydreaming. The one who was in shock for several days is my husband! He couldn't believe it's true till he saw the first sonography of the fetus, and even then he didn't knew what he saw exactly :)? I took the sonography photo and scanned it and send it to my father and brother who live abroad, couple of hours later my brother called me and said: What is that picture you sent to me? I replied my baby's picture! He said where is the baby? I told him you see the line where 1.80 cms is written above? He said yes. I said that's my baby! :))) he yelled and shouted that when I have the picture of a real baby I send it to him not a picture of a 1.80 cms line! But I was so happy with that line :) My pregnancy wasn't an easy pregnancy at all, I had so many complications and had to bed rest several times, I even started having contractions from the 6th months. I wanted to know the baby's gender but my husband did 't want to. But deep inside me I've always said that I'm sure it's a baby girl, and I will call her " Sévine". It's a Turkish name meaning " sweetheart" or " the person who brings joy to my heart", I've always felt that the girl is her mother's sweetheart. I used to sing to my belly babies' songs, and songs for daughters, and my husband was so angry, what if it's a boy? I wish my first baby to be a boy. But I've always teased him that I'm sure that it's a girl and will look exactly like me, although she turned out ot be exactly like her father :). I used to look at my belly moving with the baby's movement and imagining what is he/she doing at this moment. Wondering what does he/ she looks like now? I got a what to expect when you're expecting book and I red it every night. One of the most funniest moment for me, is when the baby got hick up :) and start to jump in the belly. Or when the baby yawn :) and stretches his legs and arms. It's a totally different feeling, that feeling of a living person inside of you, this stranger and yet isn't totally stranger cause it's a 50% you. All the suspense related to finally meeting face to face, and how will you react and will you be able to take care of this new person? Will he/ she have 2 arms 2 feet 10 fingers and 10 toes? Will he/ she be a fine baby? Etc. At 36 weeks of pregnancy I got a major contraction and it was time to deliver the baby. After 16 hours in labor, the doctor decided to make a C-section, so I experienced the pain in double:( but at the moment they were taking me to the OR, the anesthesiologist said to me: what will you call her? I said her? He told me yes didn't you knew that you're having a baby girl? It's in your file? I replied Sévine :) and I was so eager to finally meet her and taking her in my arms. She was so beautiful, so tiny and yet so strong. She was a premature baby but she didn't show any weakness. I couldn't believe myself that this baby is mine, she's not a baby toy, or someone else 's baby! She's my daughter, she's my "Sévine". I took her in my arms and prayed for her, prayed to be a good girl, daughter, woman, wife and mother, to be in good health, to be smart, to be able to love and be loved, to have all her dreams come true. And I wished for myself to see her growing, see her in her wedding day, and to hold her children as I'm holding her. Amen.
