During my pregnancy, some work colleagues of mine used to call my baby, "SAP baby." My work was going through a major business transformation from the good ol' legacy system to SAP and it was very challenging for a while, to say the least. Long hours, stressful situations, conflicts, tension between people, system malfunctions, imperfections, delays, politics, resistance, you name it....it wasn't oh-so-peaceful and happy environment for the baby. I often found myself angry or exhausted for most of the times, while worrying about how this would affect my baby.
February 3, 2014. One typical day after work, I was trying to get into my car in the parking lot after long, not-so-happy day...with my humpty dumpty body. It happened so fast, but with thinly laid ice on the parking lot, I fell down onto my side. I was in pain momentarily, but without thinking twice, just rushed back home. When I got home, I started having a bad headache, and that was when I got paranoid about my little baby.
Long story short, I was in the emergency room for about 5 hours, where they detected the baby's heartbeat. When I saw my little baby through the ultrasound, I was very relieved. I saw her turning, rolling, and even doing arm curls! At some point, we also saw her tongue action making bubbles in her space. The nurse confirmed that the baby was perfectly fine and happy. We came back home exhausted at 2am but we were very happy and relieved to see her again, healthy and happy. :).
Thank you, my precious little baby. You showed me you are strong! I certainly got an energy boost to stay strong and positive for the remainder months at work.
