It's a BOY!

After procrastinating the whole week, Steven finally fixed our scanner and I finally have time to sit down to update our latest news.

I had my Level II Ultrasoud last Monday, 5/5 and Steven took a day off to go for the appointment with me.

We were there for a good 30 to 40 minutes which we were very surprised. When I was pregnant with Cassandra in New Jersey, the doctor only took about 10 to 15 minutes. He was checking what he needed to check to make sure it was a healthy baby and told us that it was a girl and that was it. This time, the lady took her time and explained to us the parts of our baby as we saw on the monitor. She even took the time to stop at certain point to let us see our baby's move. And, finally, she told us that it was a BOY!!

I don't know if it was the announcement that made us both in tears or it was to see how he moved in my tummy. Up until then, I was still very worried because I still haven't felt the baby moved at all, and of course, I got Steven very worried too. When I saw the baby moved in my tummy, I was so relieved. It was so touching to see what he was doing on the monitor. He was literally boxing with his fist! It was until then that I felt everything was real. I still couldn't believe how lucky I am that I am actually pregnancy 'naturally'! This was all too emotional for me.

Afterwards, both the lady and the doctor confirmed that based on the ultrasound, he's a very healthy baby and the reason that I still haven't feel his move is because my placenta is a bit thick that there's a big 'pillow' between him and my tummy. We were relieved. We were happy. We can't believe how lucky we are and we can't wait to meet him face-to face!
