Beanie @ 17+ Weeks

After our hotel checkout, we went for our important appointment which was Beanie's 17+ weeks checkup. I think LZ were more excited than us! They kept reminding us of the appointment, especially Z.

As like other visits, I have to measure my weight and blood pressure. My blood pressure was fine. Just a few weeks of being cautious with my weight gain before the last checkup, I began to lax and I paid a price for that. I gained 2.5kg! GOSH! That's not good and I really have to watch it. Blame it on LZdaddy! Haha! For buying lots of yummy stuffs for me to eat!

I told Doc about my pelvic pain and she told me since I have this problem with my previous pregnancies, this time the pain will come earlier. I am also having numbness with my fingers at times and my morning sickness is not completely over. I still get morning sickness once a while.

Something that we always look forward to is the scan. As usual, Beanie was sleeping (I think) and he wasn't moving much. This always caused me to worry and I think my Doc sensed it. She lightly 'jerk' my tummy so I can see Beanie moving. I think I am too paranoid..... We saw Beanie's heart beating so well, B's little stomach, B's hands and legs moving everywhere after woken up by my Doc. It was so nice to see Beanie opening his mouth and it looked like Beanie was yawning.

Then while Doc was talking, we saw something in between Beanie's legs! There is DEFINITELY something there! At this moment, I looked at LZdaddy and he was looking intently at the screen. I was sure he was thinking the same thing as I do. I immediately asked Doc to confirm.... Beanie is a BOY! When Doc confirmed it, L first reaction was "OH MAN! A boy?! Huh...... I want a meimei!" Z first reaction was "YEAH! Baby is a BOYYYYYY!" I couldn't stopped laughing! Both LZ has such different reactions! Doc was sweet to try to console L but she was very disappointed.

When we came out of the room, I talked to L and I told her not to be too sad and she will be my only princess and the special one. I'm sure she will get over it soon coz she loves to play with babies and once she sees Beanie, she will forget what she wished for. Z was sweet to console jiejie too "It's ok, jiejie. You are the special one and you are the only princess now. After didi comes out. We ask mommy to have a meimei for you." WHAT?!

LZdaddy and Z obviously are the happiest ones. LZdaddy thinks that we have less worry for boys than girls. We have given up on getting Z to learn taekwondo (after he fractured his arms twice), for fear that he will injured himself again and I'm sure LZdaddy hopes that our Beanie will be able to take up martial arts. Z is happy that he will have someone to share his toys with and to talk about boy's stuffs.

For me, it doesn't matter whether Beanie is a boy or a girl. So long Beanie is healthy and is a happy baby and that are what I wish for....

My dear blogging friends, did you guess right?
