Bebe is a Boy:)

Just had a detailed scan this morning to check if bebe's organs are ok as well as the gender. The first thing the ultrasonist did was to check the gender. And bebe was most cooperative by simply stretching out his legs and showing off his little 'treasure':) Of course daddy was delighted coz he will now be able to buy and play the boy toys he never got to enjoy in his childhood (though i'm not sure if he or bebe will play it!)

Well, this morning's appointment was at 8.30am and by the time i had my scan, it was almost 9.10am. The scan took more than an hour, coz the ultrasonist had to check the heart, brain, kidneys, bladder, hands, lips, nose, spine etc. By about 9.50am, the ultrasonist was trying to capture a picture of bebe's spine but had problems doing it as bebe's position was not 'ideal'. Bebe was up and about and facing downwards but the ultrasonist needed Bebe to face upwards towards my stomach so that she can capture Bebe on his 'back'. All attempts at moving left/right and shaking the tummy did little to make Bebe do a 'flip'! By this time, my tummy was already making noises, as i only had a little bun at home coz i thought it would be a quick scan. The doctor in charge then asked the ultrasonist to ask me to come back 15-minutes later and try to see if we can capture a better picture of his spine. Of course, the 15-minute 'break' meant breakfast! We 'sprinted' to Delifrance and chomped down an egg sandwich in less than 5 minutes!

15 minutes later, the result was the same.. Bebe was still in the same position:) Maybe he's tired! Haha! So the doctor said that he will just report it as such as there is no way we can cajole Bebe to do a 180-degree flip:)

Then we proceeded to Dr Peter Chew's clinic for the consultation. At the clinic, Dr Chew did another scan of Bebe.. and boy, he was really shy (see pic below - apologies if it is not too clear) He was covering his face with both his hands.. either he's quite fed-up of us trying to take pictures of him or he's just sleepy and wants us to stop bothering him and let him get on with his sleep! Hmm... the sleepy part sounds just like me.. haha!
