8 July 2010 - Hubby's birthday and our 1st visit to the gynae

Kool, the day has come and here we are to Dr Ho's clinic for our "Ooopss! Gasps! Is that true?"

This day was specially selected because is my hubby's birthday. I would like him to have this birthday present - a birthday present that marks the beginning of our new life.

Dr Ho has a non-threatening, friendly and fatherly look. A look that makes me feel comfortable and wants to tease and joke with him. One whom I know, will give a shy smile for a joke cracked. 

The session was started with "Why were you here?" "Errrr.....what a question to ask?" I thought. "We had a positive test," I replied. And in my mind, I thought "This is equivalent to striking a lottery of a century...hahahahhaa" "We wanted to boost the birth rate," my hubby said. And 3 of us broke into laughter and the ice was broken.

"In the next few minutes, you will be able to confirm your findings," Dr Ho said. "Kool! That was what we have been waiting for." We looked at each other, caught a breath, finally....it is here. "What symptoms do you have?" asked Dr Ho. I started to "blah blah blah" about the amount of discomforts I had for the last few weeks. Those were discomforts, but they were blessing in disguise (I couldn't help grinning to myself). 

Scanning began. Look at what we saw! Amazing! Unbelievable!

A new life appearing inside my tummy. Look at the size - 2 cm big, the size of a pea. Ohhhh, so fragile, so vulnerable. A new precious life is growing inside me. I shedded tears of joys when I saw the new life and its movements. This is unbelievable. Now its well-beings are dependable on me.

Here's another one. Its heartbeat. At 182bm, that's very fast. So much more assured when we hear the heartbeats.
