In my 21 weeks...

I went for the 5th month detailed hospital scan yesterday. The senior radiographist measured the length of head, hands, finger, etc, and look out for any other abnormalies. Everything is fine, so relieved. And baby is quite cooperative though. She is also pretty sure that baby is a boy as she can see the "dont know what bag" (some medical terms, which andy called it balls in layman terms) and then the penis.

Throughout the 45mins scan, I do not understand a single thing on the screen. It was very blur and imaginery. The radiographist can tell me this is the hands, stomach, etc. But i can't really make out the picture. There is once that I have mistakenly took his kidneys as his eyes and bladders as his mouth. It looks like it when i looked at the screen, with 2 small dots and 1 moving big circle.... But I was wrong.... chimlogy....

In the afternoon, I went back to Dr Ang's clinic to show him the report, and he say that the blood test that i did 1 month ago was ok - low risk of down syndrome baby. And he tried to do a 3D picture of the baby's face. Apparently, he has to be in a perfect position and he cannot be moving. Though not entirely wrong position, Dr ang still cannot capture a very good picture. I still have to use my imagination to imagine his eyes, nose and face... Sigh... the picture looks terrible so i am not posting any picture up now. Andy and I was like, at least it looks better when he shows us the 2D. : (

My baby weighs 399g now....And though i feel that the baby's position is very low and might be indicative of pre-mature baby, Dr Ang says there is no clear evidence yet. And to the radiographist and doctor, the position is not low. haha. think i think too much. And before I go, Dr Ang says that I should monitor my baby's movement now. It should be at least 10 times a day. Strangely enough, since last night and the whole of today, I can feel baby's movement at a shorter interval.. and it is getting harder and harder.... very aggressive...

I guess the news that it is a boy thrilled both side of the parents. I feel that though they don't really mind a boy or girl, but they would prefer that the first one is a boy, as typical traditional family. That all for my baby progress for this month. Will update you all on my quest for baby's things..
