New Gynae

Today marks the day that bebe is safe. That's right, Josc is pass the first trimester. Time for her to take up some exercise and bet she just can't wait for that to happen....

The tummy is growing by the day and she's complaining as much as well. Not about bebe but her growing tummy ;) She's saying she's feeling like a "Putt-Tao-Ong" (Laughing Buddha) Front see, side see, her tummy is still not there yet....

We visited the gynae that we first met and recommended us to Dr Charles Lim. He is really professional. He didn't even collect any consultation fee after scanning Josc on her first visit. Immediately he directed us to Dr Charles.

The scan today was longer than normal. We could see bebe's body and limps forming. Even the facial parts are formed. But bebe looks like an alien now... Dr SC Chew even recorded a small clip of bebe moving in the womb. Showed it to Mother and she's not facinated as well. Guess it's a generation gap kinda thing...

Boy or Girl? Everyone must be guessing and we are getting question on the sex of bebe. To us, bebe must be born healthy and the sex do not matter to us. Initially the scan did not show anything and Dr Chew also did not notice anything.... but towards the end of the scan, I thought I saw something at the botton (scan from below). Looks a lot like a small wee wee and 2 balls.... Dr Chew mentioned that he thought he saw it too but on the safe side, did not confirm the sex... Guess we'll have to wait for the next checkup next month ... *(^*#$%&@

The OSCAR Test (6 Jun 07)

An expensive test - $189. But got to say.. it's an amazing experience.
It's done via an abdominal untrasound scan to check the thickness of the bb's neck & see if there's nose bridge visibility and a blood test. The test helps to screen for Down syndrome, Patau and Edward syndromes with approximately 90% accuracy.
hmm.. strange experience.
First thing that made me wonder if i'm seeing things was: the small one bouncing up & down! Never knew that the bb can bounce! The last time, i was still joking with Mac.. Since i'm taking his bike for the 1st trimester.. What if we've a bouncing bb?!?!? It better not be bouncing when it's here in this world!
After, it was busy kicking & waving around. The feeling is really strange coz' the scan reminds me of the old black & white movies, that has halting images.. hmm..
Think if the scan was a 3D one, we could've seen what our bb looks like :P

Come to think of it.. Our bb's such a "show-off"... hmmm.. Must be a boy?!?!? What do u think?

It's growing very fast. now, it's 57mm already.
Eeehh... Can't really imagine myself with a huge tummy. eeehhh....
