Our new member of Yeoh's family is Rachael!!

We just did our detailed scan yesterday and confirmed that I'm carrying Rachael! She is really one active girl that loves to hide in a corner all curled up. Right now while I'm typing, I feel her probably punching or kicking me. 

We reached Thomson Medical at 1.30pm for our appointment yesterday. Went into the room for about 45min to scan our baby. We saw her spinal cords and bones so clearly, but she just hid facing down all the time, refusing to let us see her face and her vital parts. So we were told that we had to wait for her to change her position. Meanwhile, I had to walk around in the hope that she will turn her body upwards. 

We waited for another 45min before the nurse called us again for round 2. Still she's in her comfort zone. So hubby and I tapped my tummy and kept talking to her. Finally, she moved and turned a little. We took another 45min before she was willing to reveal to us that she's a girl. I'm so thankful to see that her bone structures and everything looks fine and beautiful and she is growing well! Thank God! 

After the scan, we went for gynae's consultation and was told everything is good for baby except that Rachael has a slightly bigger than normal abdomen. This might mean that I have gestational diabetes. So I was told to cut down on sweet stuff and starch and was scheduled to do a test in one month's time. So well, one more thing to pray about this season. 

All and all, it was really a great experience to be pregnant. It's just so amazing and exciting to see and feel my baby growing in me. I'm so excited to see my baby Rachael next March. But I also wish this 2nd trimester will not fly past too fast, cos I still wanna feel her move in me. :)
