I was already 9 months pregnant and it was quite rainy outside so my husband decided we stay in and spend some time together before our bundle of joy decides to join us.We are very excited with a prepared nursery room awaiting on our little one’s arrival.We knew very well that it is almost her time so we are very careful and my husband took some time off to be with me.We recently moved to Durban and we are settling in perfect I often miss my parents and my friends back home but sometimes a fresh start is what we all need.It’s already half past six and we done eating dinner so I was getting ready for bed.While getting ready I experienced a lot of pain in such short time and I definitely knew it was time.I alerted my Elroy whom is my husband to get the car ready at this stage my bags was packed I was just waiting for my labour time.In half an hour we arrived at the hospital and they took me into the labour ward because the baby was already near.It was a nightmare before she could finally show her innocent face and tiny feets.My heart skipped a beat because I brought life to a human.Elroy was very excited and happy to meet her not knowing that would be our last and first time seeing her.Everyone made their way out and Elroy kissed both of us on the forehead promising to come early in the morning to fetch us.The night went smoothly and I couldn’t stop looking at my princess,we decided to name her Hope.

The morning finally arrived and I could not feel my baby sleeping next to me,my heart pounded and stress overwhelmed me I started crying and hystericaly called for help.”My baby is gone! somebody help me please”until 15minutes later her father and the doctor came in with her,what a sigh of relief.”But what are you doing here so early my love?”Both him and the doctor started laughing because it was already past 12 in the morning.He explained that when he arrived I was fast asleep and he asked the doctor to allow me to rest he will stand by and oversee the doctor’s examination on our baby.I felt so stupid but yet so lucky because he is indeed a wonderful husband.

Here we are 3 years later happy and healthy with an energetic baby whom we love so much and our bond and marriage only grew My husband always reminds me that he made a vow to himself that the day he marry a woman and that woman bears his children,he will love her till infinity and will forever respect her and that is how he treats me.
