Waiting for Someone

Waiting is such a simple verb. But in reality, this verb is a complicated one.

It's strings are attached to different reasons, triggerring different emotions, showing out different results. Some feel that waiting takes forever, some get the excitement out of it. Others just ignore it, but for most people, waiting is more important than the person they are waiting for. They say, WAITING for someone says more about the person than when this person talks about him or herself

But what if this someone you are waiting for does not talk...what if this someone is very unexperienced and just stares back at you...this is when the heart dictates the eyes what to say. When the eyes meet, communication starts. The purest sense of communication, when the true emotions speak...no words no sounds, only pure thoughts.

Nico and I have been waiting for 7 months now, for who, we don’t know his name yet…but we are definitely sure that this someone will smile back at us as soon the light shines on his face. We are not afraid that he would not like us, we know and we feel already that emotions will flow like a river of different feelings from one heart to the other: gladness, excitement, joy, victory - name it all!

Okay, lets start from the beginning before I totally shake you out of the track here.

Last December 2006, Nico and I decided we are ready for it…for what? For IT! We are ready to extend our small just-the-two-of-us world into a family. After checking up with the authorities (the doctors of course) it looks like everything is normal and possible.

After a month or three, we have nailed it! We discovered I was expecting in the morning of one sunny May day in 2007. I can’t believe it! I can’t wait to get home to tell Nico about the news. And surprisingly, Nico said he felt that too, that I was pregnant and my news confirms it. To be more sure, we went to the doctor and had a blood test. Yes, its positive, I was then 3 weeks pregnant.

Early? Yeah, I felt immediately that there is something different happening to me…in me. And it felt so right, so wonderful, unbelieavably beautiful. To think about it, a human in me...undescribable.

So, as far as WAITING is concern, yes we are waiting and EAGERLY! We are about to become parents..of a small being still in me...taking the time to get strong and..be complete.

For Nico and I, waiting for this someone is with mixed emotions. Part of it excited and part unsure. Excitement just imagining how the baby will look like, how it will move, how it will eat or drink or smile. And unsure if we will be good parents, if we will be able to understand why a baby cries, if its hurt, or sick. But I guess all parents have undergone this stage of uncertainty and I hope this will pass...that as soon as we see the baby only feelings of happiness and joy will arise.

I think so. I hope so. I wait so...
