The meaning. . .
Baby Kwee @ 22 weeks
Had my detailed scan on 26/2/2008 … a Tuesday morning
Prior to this scan, I thought that the doc will need to use a special equipment to do the scan as we were told that we can only do this scan on a weekday …
It turns out that a weekday is a better day to do the scan as there will be less patient at the clinic and Dr. Tho can take his time to show us and check through baby kwee’s development …
He started with the head, taking measurements, showing the face – especially the mouth to make sure that there is no cleft lips, where the eyes would be. He just moved the ‘mouse’ over my tummy to show us different parts of baby kwee …
For me, I just followed what he said coz some of the parts do not look so clear to me…. But dearie, he can follow and even ask the doc questions – is this blah blah blah …
I asked him, how can you tell? He replied – you just need to be a little more observant and with a bit of imagination, you can tell … OK … implying that I do not have both traits…
Scanning through baby kwee’s hands and legs, Dr. Tho said is a rather cool tone – did I tell you that it is a boy?
Duh … both me and dearie went silent … didn we say that we want to be kept in the dark? Hahaha
Anyway, it is good to know the gender of baby kwee – so that we can start thinking of names :)
At the end of the scan, ah Tho said that all is well … and baby kwee weighs about 500gm … yup – 500gm at about 22 weeks.
p.s oh yes, baby kwee was very active when Dr. Tho was doing the scan. i can feel him moving inside me... probably he knows what was going one ... haha
