The Anomaly Scan

Late update...

April 8, 2013

Today (last night actually) was one of the most exhilirating moments of my life.  We finally went for our Anomaly Scan, and I'm telling you I was just too moody the whole day! I was so grumpy and acting like a total prima donna  I almost felt sorry for hon (kaso pinapatulan nya din ako eh haha :P)  Anyway I knew it was because I was so scared of the upcoming scan, too worried that something might be wrong with our baby... In the end I prayed sooooo hard and lifted it all up to God during our afternoon Mass.  And prayers really do work wonders.  The Homily was all about believing in God without seeing any proof (Doubting Thomas Gospel), and it really tore at my heart.  I could feel God was speaking to me that everything was gonna be alright. 

When we finally got to the clinic, I was a bit more calm but still trying to compartmentalize by thinking of other stuffs while waiting for our turn at the Ultrasound Room.  We actually were planning to find out our baby's gender through lotsa fun ways, but in the end we both agreed we just wanted to know, and orchestrating those complicated (although admittedly more fun ways) just added more tension to my already "too-imaginative" mind.   We just wanted to know, and in the end I just really want to have a safe and healthy baby. 

The sonographer was a very kind and cheerful woman, and she gave me such reassurances and made light of the whole situation we couldn't help but like her! She kept on repeating that "baby's fine,"  and "baby's happy", that I really felt so much better :) She even joked that since she's touched me now no harm will come to me and to my baby anymore :)

Here are some cute videos captured by Daddy... :)  I was crying like a nervous wreck but baby was sooooo naughty and playful!!! Manang-mana sa ama nya! :)

In the end, the sonographer told us that baby was 60-70% GIRL.... But she was so uncertain that we did not know what to feel! So she told us to come back the next night and she would try to find out baby's gender again without any additional payment...Told yah she was very kind!

But you know what, just seeing our baby so healthy and so safe and so happy.... It was enough to make us feel so thankful and soooo grateful to God!!! This was us after the scan, so high with love for our cute wriggly baby!
