bb boy or bb gal ?

29 Aug 08

check up @ theresa after work..
the same familiar and friendly faces in the clinic.

one of the nurses called me when i entered.
"hei Joval, u cut ur hair ?! u look great! "Haha ! make me so happy..

so i took the urine test, blood pressure & weight..
the other nurse who took my weight commented ,
"u don't look very pregnant .. is that a maternity jeans already?"
haha.. thats a good sign.. shows that i did not put on too much weight..

but still at 15th week, I am 60.5kg (gained 4.5 kg from the day I see them)

so we did not need to wait long to see the gynae.
gynae said " hei, u do not look very pregant!"
Tummy scan for me this time round..
she switched off the lights in the room so that the screen looks clearer.
she took quite a while before she said "maybe is a boy."
my Hubby gave me a mischievous cum surprise look..
but then gynae could not confirm cos BB is not very cooperative.
So gynae only said maybe and will not give us a printout in case we blame her for the wrong diagnosis..

in fact, the gender of BB doesnt really bother us.
we are more concern on the well being of our BB..
bb boy or gal... is still little ray or little jo..
we are happy that BB is doing well inside me..

gynae too informed that I have low placenta at this moment.
And so no travelling, no exercise and also no housework until I deliver.
And I still have to live like a queen.

Our next appointment will be on 9 Sep 08 and hope that gynae can solve the mystery..

a fren actually tried to solve the mystery with the "ring thing".
he hung his wedding band over my palm and it swayed from side to side.
this shows "boy". the same happened when the ring was put above ray's palm.

the ring actually moved in a circular motion when placed on another frens' palm.
this means "gal".. indeed he has two fine little gals

is this coincidence or destiny ?

Back to work

first appt at Theresa clinic after 2nd day of work.
gynae advised that bb's normal (from the scan and blood test at NUH).
BB is 13wk1d today, 6.9cm

did the usual V scan and speculum V check.
everything is normal.
first time for me to not have any jabs from the gynae.
However, urine test showed traces of blood.
Gynae say to monitor it.. and meanwhile- advice from nurse, to drink more water.

Gynae also gave clearance to HB for his 4 days biz trip to Hong Kong. today's bill is the lowest so far S$90.
next visit is 2 weeks later.. when bb is 15wks.

BB is GOOD!

1st trimester check up at NUH Antenatal Diagnositic Centre.

The scan took a while cos' bb's position is not the best.

Her backside was facing the screen and made it hard to measure the thickness of the neck.

The Doc had to tap my tummy to make bb move.. but unsuccessful.

And finally after about 15mins, the senior Doc was called in.

This Professor (male) was much gentler and got the scan in a minute.
And he assured that bb is normal and we have nothing to worry about.
Phew! We passed! Can u see the tiny bb's tiny hand? haha looks like she is saluting to us!
she is 12wk4d.

We headed to Holland V for dinner.
Too bad, the dinner wasnt that good ..(oily food at crystal jade la mian)
but then we had nice icecream and tea at Haagen Daz.
I only get a little bit of ice cream cos' doc instructed that i should not take any cold food.
hmmm..nice cammomile tea..
