The Wonders of Technology


Yesterday, I saw our 8-month child from the ultrasound pictures that my wife brought. It was an exciting moment for me; I wanted to hug her! I wanted to kiss her!

Last week, the sales rep of GE visited the hospital where my wife is working. The demonstrated a 4d ultrasound machine (the most common is 3d, to some extent is 2d especially in the provinces). One of the consultants grabbed her and made her the subject of the demo. The cost of each picture, in a normal situation, would be more than a thousand. But my wife got it for free.

She's fond of sucking her toes for some reason. Hopefully she changes when she gets out of her mom's womb. But on this picture, it seems to me that she has a potential of getting her mom's trait of frowning...

I was teasing my wife that I will take our kid wherever I go, whenever possible. So that she'll be exposed about the different activities outside the house. This way, she will be more well rounded and more matured when the time comes.

According to them, she looks like me especially the forehead. But her lips is definitely taken from her mom. And Kristine is quite worried that she might have the same nose as she has. But Tita Lyds and Lola told her that my cousins (and myself) started with noses that only mothers can love; eventually, it turned out to be better looking (naks!).



Well, I am hoping for the best. According to Tin, all the pregnancy parameters are normal. She's opting for CS around 2nd week of September; her built might not take the size of the baby when she delivers. She'll be out of the hospital for 2 weeks; on top of that, 5 days after she delivers the baby she has to take an exam in relation to her training!!! If only I own my own hospital... Oh well, she's the doctor and I am not.

I am just excited.... I don't have to be a priest to be a papa... =)
