my room!!

daddy & mummy spent a couple of hours doing up my room today. so colourful! hehe... i love it! can't wait to lie in the cot, looks really comfy...

i'm a boy!

detailed scan today shows i'm growing very well, all vital organs are perfect. am estimated to weigh about 314 g. cool, i'm growing bigger and bigger. and most important of all (which i think my parents are anxious to find out!), i'm a boy!! woohoooo!

this scan shows my skull and brain.

my side view, looks pretty good.

eye orbits look well-spaced too...i'm gonna be a good-looking boy. hehehe.

the 4 chambers of my heart

the left scan shows the blood flow... and the right scan shows that i'm a boy! hehehe... MALE!

my hands, though not very clear

these graphs show i'm normal! the crosses belong to me

16th-week scan

16th-week scan, have grown too big to fit into one scan frame, weight is approximately 138 g, estimated from the abdominal circumference. daddy had a glance at my waving hand with my five tiny fingers!

can see my spinal cord and head (on the right), and leg (on the left) from this scan. gynae unfortunately could not tell whether i'm a boy or girl yet... well, will just keep everyone in suspense until there's enough amniotic fluid for me to swim around one month later...

second part of OSCAR test

the nurse just called to inform that the results of the second part of the OSCAR test are normal. the second part of the test is a blood analysis for the levels of PAPP-A (Pregnancy Associated Plasma Protein-A) and free beta-hCG (beta-human Chorionic Gonadotropin). both mum and dad are very pleased and relieved. :D

second ultrasound scan...

this is the first part of OSCAR (One Stop Clinic for Assessment of Risk) test, to assess the risk of Down's Syndrome, the nuchal translucency scan looks very optimistic. :) have grown about 2 cm bigger now. am fidgety. heartrate = 150 beats/minute, pretty fast for a teeny weeny fella.

anyway, mummy is glad to know that i'm growing well. :)

will now wait for the results of the second part of the test...
