Nataniel

It's really amusing that everyone around seems to know better how I should name my own baby. And I suppose it's not only my problem. I suppose the majority of to be parents face it sooner or later. So I would want to say that remarks such as

- Is it really a babyname?
- There are plenty of nicer names.
- Can't you just call her/him X? X is such a lovely name.
- I would have to learn it by heart or I might just gorget it. 
   etc.
 

are improper. Just once in a lifetime one should be a hypocrite and say "It's really a nice name" or some other cliché. It won't hurt you. Choosing the right name for the baby is the privilege of the parents who usually wants to express their love towards the baby through the given name.   



We faced this problem but were consistent in our decision. 

Nataniel Michal (Nathaniel Michael) was born on 6th of February 2013. 

The name Nataniel means
"given by God". 
The name Michal is a heritage. It is his Father's and Great-grandfather's name. 


The choosen name suits perfectly to our little boy. He's the best gift we could ever receive.

Excitement

Those few weeks of waiting to hear a heartbeat are very exciting. I was happy I was pregnant but I was also worried whether everything was fine with the baby. When I waited for my turn in the doctor's waiting room I was very nervous.

  He asked me a few questions and finally I had USG examination. Wait a moment... is it my heart what beats so loud or maybe...? 

It was the heartbeat of Prince Charming. Beautiful sound. I couldn't believe it. I ask the doctor whether it was really my child. He laughs and says that the baby couldn't be more mine. 

I recalled a book I read when I was a kid. The Little Someone found an apartment inside of me.

I go out of the doctor's office as if in a trance. I hug to my husband and tears appear in my eyes. This is like a dream from which I don't want to wake up. The dream that lasts. 


From now on we go to doctor together. Together we see on USG screen our little bean. We see little hands and little legs. We are together when the doctor tells that the babe is probably a boy. Of course he is. I knew it from the very beginning. I knew that I carry Prince Charming. 

Few weeks later the doctor says he is sure that the baby is a boy. I knew that but it was the very moment when I dared to call my boy by his name.

The Beginning

I knew it would be The Prince Charming. I just knew that. I knew since the moment when my friend send me a text message from the lab informing me I was pregnant. HCG 166! Hoorey!  

 

I had to celebrate it by buying a sheep for my son in Szklarska Poreba* I'd spent much time before I finally found the most beautiful sheep.  Because it's obvious it had to be a very special sheep. As special as the one from The Little Prince book. 

I've finally found it. Here she is, the first toy belonging to my Prince Charming.

 

We'd spent almost half of the day before we found the sheep. My friends from work with whom I was in Szklarska Poreba probably thought I went crazy. Because it was only after I got known I was pregnant. So how did I know it would be a boy? I just knew that. From the very beginning. And I was very, very happy.
