ryan's prebirth journey :: Dec 9 2005, 09:00 PM ::

halo! its been such a loooong day today! we woke up bout 10am and i proceeded to shave bubblez cos he has been developing rashes lately. then we went down to the coffeeshop for brunch and then proceeded to TMC for the checkup. we reached at about 1230pm and it was crowded! melvin and yufen were already there since 1130am! we chatted and then i called eric to ask which room he was in (eric's wife, lydia, gave birth 2 days ago at TMC, his gal is sooo chubby and cute!), he told me that he was about to discharge and we went up to meet them.back at wc cheng's clinic, we waited for lc cheng to come down. he was caught up at some delivery and was especially long! we waited till about 2.30pm when one of the nurses asked if we wanted to see wc cheng instead! we said why not and went to wait outside his room. while we were waiting, we joked that wc cheng do not need the ultrasound scan, he will use his hands to feel the baby and advice if is fine! ahahha...guess wat, when melvin and yufen went in, thats exactly what he did! melvin was sooo disappointed!! he wanted to see his son before his birthday (11th dec) but failed to do so! he was sooo upset that he later requested to see lc cheng to do the ultrasound scan, but nurse patsy said there were simply tooo many people waiting to see him. we felt bad for melvin. while melvin was inside wc cheng's room, we saw lc cheng come down and we immediately requested to see him instead! PRAISE THE LORD that we did! he looked tired and answered some of our queries like numbness, nausea and backache. then i asked him for a letter stating the EDD so that i can apply for deferment in april! then he did the ultrasound scan and we saw our lil precious one! i asked lc to help us confirm the gender once again and he said "see, thats his birdie!" hahaha...ryan was very co-operative today and it was for all-to-see! but he said at this stage, bb is too big to see the whole of him and that's it. no printout or knowing weight of bb. later found at the singaporemotherhood forum that we should ask gynae the estimated weight of the baby for reference. hahahha....will do that next visit! hope we do not need to wait so long next time round! we changed the appt to 4pm since he is around in the afternoon on fridays now.we went to office for a while to send out some quotes and then we went over to suntec to buy the carebear umbrella which veron adores! we bought 2 after much deliberation and then we went to cafe cartel for her waffle with ice-cream! i wanted so much to eat the st louis pork ribs and ordered that too! we had such a filling dinner that i found it hard to move around thereafter! we went up to the atrium once again and browsed through the maternity shops like flava mama, perfect mum and spring maternity! veron bought a tube dress and some underwear! i chanced upon the bengawan solo ad in the motherhood mag and called henry to compliment the nice box design! he said, u and melvin better order from me, no doubts about it, he will "settle it" for us! ahhahaha.....we walked around a while more and then left for mum's place. we will be checking into hilton for our very first anniversary on sunday! watch out for the update!
