Nice Nice Baby

Remember the last time we went to the gynae we found out that the baby was very nice to us, helping in the examination by positioning herself accordingly? Well, of course from there we thought that the baby was obedient, nice, smart and sweet. But some of you might think that it’s only a coincidence, you party poopers!

But when on Saturday we went to see the gynae again, it happened again. The gynae told us that he wanted to scan my wife’s tummy to check the sex of the baby. In order to do that, the baby must be open her legs wide in a certain position, such as the baby sitting and pointing its finger at its groin, because that’s the only way I could figure out something from the screen full of dots.

And when the gynae started scanning, we could see that the baby had opened its legs wide. When I said “we”, I meant the gynae and my wife. I was still figuring out which part of the screen that I should look into.

“Oh look the baby shows me”, the gynae said, when he saw the baby just sat there opening her legs right away.

Then he moved the mouse pointer to an area on the screen. “See anything sticking out?” he asked. My wife was so excited to see the image, and said, ”No”. “Me neither”, said the gynae, ”Then it’s probably a girl”. And my wife smiled.

And I also smiled, although I was still trying to figure out which parts of that image were the legs. I only saw a figure like a “C” on the screen, which my wife later told me were the image of the legs, taken from the bottom. That still confused me.

Then the gynae, as usual, took my baby’s measurement and scan its head and body, which I will post later. But for now, I am just so glad that the baby was so nice, putting herself in the right position for the scan, and that she was fine. Thank God.

Hope she continues to be nice and fine, and next time she could point her finger at the point that I should look into on the screen, and hold a sign “This is my leg”.
