Blogging nowadays can sometimes be a drag….when I am still half awake every morning, hoping that everyday would be a weekend morning. How I wish!
Last Thursday was my first gynae appointment. She is also my new Dr after changing medical insurance from the lousy one last year. This Dr was recommended by my co workers, who apparently share the same panel of gynaes!
The weighing machine weighed me ….2 lbs heavier. Boleh tahan! If I didn’t wek wek, I must have gained 5 lbs! Then the visitation room. Since I hadn't had a PAP smear since 2 years ago (I believe in PAP smears every 3 years!), I was advised to wear this disposable pink surgical gown with the opening to the front. The gynae will also do a yearly breast exam for me. So there I was, in my pink gown, on the examination table, looking around the med office.
Hmmm…its been a while since I last saw a gynae due to pregnancy…the ultrasound machine looks different. Smaller, unlike 12 years ago. They also do electrolysis, permanent hair removal…which is VERY attractive to me (seriously thinking).
The gynae came in, very very nice asian lady, in her 30s. We sat and had a casual conversation, talked about ourselves. Making silly jokes about my last child being 12 years old, built in babysitters!
Then the PAP smear (which I hate) and the breast examinations were done. Not too bad. Then she did an ultrasound scan for the baby. The embryo was kinda big…then the jelly bean…teeny little jelly bean glistening…which was the heartbeat. It surely was nice and relieved to see that my baby is well, in the right position and with a heartbeat!

The next appointment will be next week, this time the husband is coming along.
Lastly, I would like to thank Cik Adik Ayu kita tuh who has been tirelessly calling me though sometimes I really could not answer the phone due to Ely was puking, Ely was falling asleep or Ely was giving her husband a hard time. Ayu has been offering me food…volunteering to get me food should I get last minute cravings. Alas, when I am having morning sickness, I don’t crave! I assured Ayu that the time for her to bring me food will come very soon…just standby! We all at home love you Ayu!
