today, 80 days and counting down!
today, also we did a 3d scan of her!
the 3d scan of hers wasn't an easy one.
our appointment was at 0800hrs,
we were twenty minutes late,
so we had to wait.
not long after,
it was our turn.
we went into the room,
showed my tummy,
the sonographer squeezed the jelly-like substance onto my tummy and started to look for our little girl using the ultrasound machine.
unfortunately,
she was comfortably facing down.
we can't see her face.
the sonographer advised us to have our breakfast, walk around, talk to her and come back about an hour later.
so we did just that,
had breakfast, walk around, talk to her and come back.
we really talked to her asking her to face up so that we can see her.
i felt some movements,
so i supposed she was responding.
the second time we went into the room,
i was a little unsure how she was positioned however i felt a glimpse of hope.
so i laid down,
showed my tummy and went through the same procedure again.
to our dismay,
she wasn't facing up.
she turned slightly and only can see 1/4 of her face.
in my heart, i was like "whaatttttt?"she is still not facing up?"
so i asked the sonographer if there is any advice to make her turn.
she replied "bonding" and gave us a last chance,
if not we have to make another appointment.
she asked us to come back 30 minutes later.
i was cracking my head.
how am i supposed to ask a baby in my womb to bond and listen to me?
i woke up super early today hoping to see her yet she is facing down.
what can i do?
i kept rubbing my tummy trying to make her uncomfortable.
my husband and i were really out of our wits.
so we walked around and went into stores to look at things.
A-HAH!
that's when we decided to bribe her!
we told her that we are buying some babywear and cute socks for her,
so be a good girl and face up so mama and papa can see her.
before 30 minutes is up,
my husband had to bend down to my tummy to sweet-talk and convinced her.
while i was complaining to her saying that we had to wake up early just for her, etc.
i added that she is taking a photo soon so must face up.
throughout the conversation,
there were some movements,
but i wasn't sure whether she is facing up.
so we went into the room the third time with not much hope.
this time round,
alhamdulillah!
she was facing up!
we can see her face!
both of us were delighted!
even though she was sleeping,
when we first saw her face,
both my husband and i started beaming.
it was such a nice feeling to get to see her.
i am sure my husband felt that special feeling that i felt.
it was truly beautiful.
the sonographer took a few shots of her.
my husband and i just glued our eyes to the screen to see our little fella.
and we were figuring out whose looks she has.
here she is at 28 weeks sleeping with her right hand resting on her face.
another view of her.
we spent about 20 odd minutes looking at her before our time is up.
we really had a great time seeing her and can't wait to see her every single day.
sweetheart,
you were very cheeky.
did you turn because mama and papa bought you stuff?
or did you turn because papa convinced you to?
or did you turn because you're a good girl?
or did you turn because you don't want mama to complain and be upset?
or did you turn because god asked you to?
whatever it is,
we are thankful that you faced upwards.
thank you sweetheart.
mama and papa will be staring at your photos every day now.
we both love you and always talk to you.
sweetheart,
you will never be alone with mama and papa around.
=)
