Ok, first of all, we had an ultrasound this afternoon. It almost got postponed until next Saturday since my OB (who’s also an Ultrasonologist) is on vacation and won’t be back until the 15th. Grabe, we were really looking forward for this day since we really want to know if the baby is still doing good and wether she’s a girl or he’s a boy. We only report at my doctor’s clinic every Saturday since it’s near our place and hamey doesn’t have work on weekends and besides, my doctor’s schedule in Asian are only on weekdays.
So anyway, I have her assistant’s number and called her to check if we can have an ultrasound at Asian without my OB’s request. She told me she can make the request since it’s going to be performed there but another doctor’s going to attend to me.
Before going to Asian, we had some time to window shop for baby stuff. Checked the price of bibs, onesies, diapers, cribs, strollers, etc. etc. Then we had lunch at home then went to ATC to check other baby stuff there. I saw and liked one crib worth PHP20,000.00. It’s a wooden crib convertible to a toddler bed already. Nice no?
Ok, back to my story. Went to Asian to have my (2D) ultrasound. We were to go to my doctor’s office first to get the request. If I wasn’t pregnant and all, I’ll just use the satirs instead of the elevator. Hang tagal ha!
Now the exciting part. I really like to have a 3D ultrasound instead of the 2D since I really can’t figure out the image in a 2D ultrasound. It’s a Rachel Green experience. Know what I mean?
And to my surprise, would you believe that they have a 21″ TV in front of the bed! Unlike in the clinic, the patient and the doctor shares the monitor which is really difficult for the patient to see! Astig! (Sorry this sound like a blondie moment for me) Anyway, according to the doctor, everything is doing good. According to her, it seems that I don’t have any problems with my pregnancy and she thinks that I won’t be having any in the next more months (nice to hear that). When the usual check of measurements were done, we checked for the body parts of the baby. CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There was one instance where the baby’s arm was covering her face. The doctor shook my bely to probably signal the baby to move. Base from the ultrasound, it looks like she got hamey’s lips and nose. (HAHAHA!!! O how I wish she gets her father’s nose insted of mine, flat e. ROFL) The doctor checked the head, the heart with the 4 chambers, galing talaga!
Then the stomach, liver or kidney… I can’t actually remember which, :D! Then the thigh bone. It looks like she has long thigh bones. I think my baby is going to be tall. Well, it won’t be a surprise since both hamey and I are kind of tall.
Now the gender! The doctor saw it at one time but she wasn’t able to show us since the baby crossed her legs, shy! (like mom! :P) The doctor shook my belly again to make the baby move. You know what my baby did? She KICKED!! laughed a bit when I saw the legs move from the monitor and felt it at the same time. The baby got irritated! CUTE!!!!
Well, what’s the baby’s gender? 85% sure that the baby is a… GIRL!!!! MELDITA JR!!!!!! I’m really excited! And hamey’s funny comment was: “Naku! Madaming sapatos nanaman ito!!!” (Oh, no, means more shoes!!!!) I know deep inside he’s happy and glad we’re having a baby girl.
