~Detailed Scan @ TMC~
yippee..able to see bb again..hee..a quick breakfast & off to TMC for our appt at 11.45am.
guess it's gonna be quite a wait..went down to pay for the Antenatal class (starting 26th July)..and back up to Level 4 as we wait patiently for my name to be called =)
Finally...lotsa cold gel was applied all over my tummy..and here we go......
*bb's heart was really pumping very quickly (yesh, their heartbeat is 2x of ours!!)
*as the heart & the brain are the most impt & complex organs..diff angels were taken..and i just stared in disbelief @ the monitor (this is sooo amazing..we can see the pumping of the heart..the movement of the cells..etc..its soo wonderful how the diff cells come together to form the organs..the veins..the blood...reminds me of the documentary "In the Womb"..that soo many things are happening inside me every hour, every min, every sec...amazing is definately an understatement!)
*spinal cord is growing very nicely
*bb was very active..the legs seemed to be in the motion of 'cycling'; hands were moving frantically...the sonographer commented that she need more time to capture & measure the bb...opppsss..(bb, must be guai-guai ok....)
* then the sonographer asked if the gynae had told us the gender..
Me :"mmm, doc said that it looks more like a boy"
Sonographer : "Its confirmed a boy!! you see" (pointed out "IT" to us on the moniter)
Me (jokingly i asked): "there are some cases, that they saw the fingers and tot that it is the p*n**"
Sonographer : "that must be loongg time ago.. now the technology is so advanced, if i see wrongly, then there's something wrong with my certification and experience...see i show you...Fingers, got bones...(showed us our bb's fingers) and penis is flesh..no bones (showed us the screen again)....
Opppsss..first time mummy mah...silly qn as it may seem..but i learn something..heee..nothing wrong to ask.. heee...
Overall, the sonographer commented that bb is growing well..nothing to worry about..
*Smilez* Phew..relief..glad that our little active bb boy is growing well!!!
Off for lunch @ a cafe in TMC ( here's me & my bump @ week 20)
Good thing now is that i've finally overcome my aversion towards fish..(used to puke whenever i eat fish...salmon/cod fish/fillet-o-fish..all end up in the toilet bowl =( ...) @ least now, can start 'pumping' up on my DHA content..good for bb's brain development!!
Seem like gonna spend the whole day @ TMC..cos after lunch..we signed up for a hospital tour...once we entered the delivery ward...the nurse wheeled out a mummy with her new-born bb gal..ohhhh..all of us simply melted...how real can it be..to witness a little baby wheeled out from the delivery ward..awesome!!
next up..visited the diff wards..what can we say...the hospital has definately spent quite a bit to revamp the exisiting wards..and the most impressive were the 6 private suites..think LCD TV..teleconference with the nurses..hotel-like aisle..wow....@ about $1000+ per night...would you consider ??? mmmmm..... (but it's really very nice & comfortable!!)...of cos we'll nt go for that..most put our $$ into better use, ya =)
