This was the post I wrote when that autosave feature failed me. Wrote a whole long post then GONE! Didn’t have the mood to rewrite the other time. Oh well, my memory is still here, just hope that I’ll be able to write it out like I did last time, only this time it will be more summarised.
30 November 2005
I just came back from KL a few days ago. This day was my appointment for my second antenatal check up and first and only ultrasound. Yup, the first video of Ethan in the womb. I made the appointment for the ultrasound on my first antenatal visit. They had a notice on the wall that said we could bring a video tape or dvd-rw to record the ultrasound. It was really exciting.
When we were at the waiting area there was another notice on the wall that said those of us who wish to have our ultrasound recorded it would only be of a few minutes and we were not allowed to ask for more. Now I really regret doing exactly what the notice said. There’s no harm in trying. A dvd can record more than an hour and the ultrasound only takes 45 minutes.
So anyway, when my turn came I really wanted to pee already because of all the liquid I was required to drink. I’m not much of a drinker. But I had to keep all the liquid inside of me until the ultrasound was over. The process was actually quite boring as our technician didn’t really talk much. She had her own tv while mine is at the end of the room and I didn’t bring my glasses which wasn’t that big deal if the tv was BIGGER! She just showed us all the important parts of the body except one that distinguishes the gender. I asked her about it and then she asked me back, “Oh, so you want to know?”, err…duh! It’s really funny now that I think about it because when she showed me the ‘extra’ part I couldn’t really see it but I kept saying, “Oh yeah, there it is!” There what is? hahahah… When we left the room I asked if Eddie saw it, he told me he was half asleep. I don’t blame him. She gave us three photos and the dvd before we left, and told us everything is well and in place as it should be.
I don’t have a scanner to scan in the photos but a video is so much better isn’t it? Enjoy our precious in his first video. Don’t have to turn on your speaker.

Wow… this is SO cool! It’s funny how US is so advanced in its medicine and science but still doesn’t have such technology (at least mine didn’t) yet.

binky: I think they probably have it but opt not to do it. I’m in Adelaide, a small city compared to Sydney, where g is and she doesn’t have it as well.
