Life is moving!!

I am so happy last night...... we have a gynae appointment at 8:30pm.. I went in with my mind blank.. not even daring to hope.. fear of the unknown..

while the gynae chatted with me.. (He was asking about the takeover happening to my company!), he started to scan...

To our delight & wonder, we see our baby.. now moving.. so actively.. waving his hands & legs at me and swimming around in the fluid.. and even stretch himself (herself??) and kicking.. the best part?? he's upside-down!!

I was smiling like an idiot.. It has never occured to me that it would be so wonderful.. this feeling.. suddenly, I felt like crying.. cos' I never expected that I will see this.. what with not daring to look forward... until then, the pregnancy felt a little unreal...

AK was staring at the screen for a while, but quickly whipped into action.. he took out his mobile phone & started filming our baby's movement on the screen.. later on, i really appreciated that, cos i can view the image over the next 3 weeks until the next appointment.. (1st March).

I was assured that 99% that everything is stable.. and our doc took 2 vials of my blood for testing.. We were advised about the triple test which is optional (cost 100 sgd) but i say, next visit, after he scanned the baby's neck for Down's Syndrome, we will decide..The gynae assured that I am at low risk as I am still young.. so, we will see...

As a special exception, I was allowed to sign the package that same day, meaning that for subsequent visits, I will not need to pay anymore except for detailed scans & extra tests..

We went home, happy, with strong memories of our baby happily kicking away, turning, somersaulting etc.... I haven't really felt the kicks, but occassionally, there is fluttering which i haven't decide is due to gas or to the baby.. Asked the gyane if the movement is too much, but he said that it is actually very good.. the baby was curved up when he measured at 4.16cm, so, my EDD maintained.. but actually, my baby is bigger then this.. quite happy.... slept so well..
