It's a girl

Had a detailed check today and the baby's gender is a girl. So happy...
I can imagine all the cute and lovely clothes I can buy for her..hahaha

It was quite a scary experience initially....mostly because of my past experiences.
I was praying hard the night before....praying that the baby will be healthy and well.

I was like concentrating hard on the baby's brain when they are scanning her skull and brains. I was praying I won't see the same thing again. Then the attention went to heart....the sonographer spent quite some time on the heart and I wasn't breathing at all. I was so scared something might happen to her heart. She stood up and mentioned she need to get the Prof in. I can tell you, for that moment, I almost feel like breaking into tears. The last time that happened one of my babies was diagnosed with excessive fluid in the brain.

The prof came in and started off with the sentence - your 12th week scan was perfect. I was like....you mean it's no good this time round. He went on to scan the brain and started explaining the measurements etc. Thank God, he was just trying to reassure us that everything is fine. He then tells me that he needs to check on more things to ensure that everything is ok because of my previous incident.

He also asked me not to walk too much as it might trigger off contractions and scheduled me for the next visit. Then he said our baby has long legs. Cool.

And i can feel baby moving quite a lot recently...it can get pretty uncomfortable at times but I rather I can feel it else I will become paranoid if I can't feel her movement.

Thank God for this wonderful gift and I know He will see us through this pregnancy and gave us this gift.
