----Ecclesiastes 3:1
Gazing at our baby’s face
June 6, 2007Last week we had the 3d/4d ultrasound at the Medical City. It was morning of the 1st of June, and I was accompanied by my dad and brother going to the hospital, while hubby met me there since he came from shift. While at the waiting area on the women's health care department, we saw several posters that has information concerning different types of ultrasound. As for 3d/4d ultrasound, it says that it may not always be successful, in terms of capturing the baby's image, since it will entirely depend on the baby's position. If the baby is not in a good position, then parents are requested to come back after an hour or two to try again. However, if by then, the baby still refuses to show his face, then you will be requested to come back another time. That is because any additional trial will be harmful for the baby. Upon reading that I immediately prayed that our little boy would be in the mood to have his very first photo shoot.
We got there 9am. I was already lying in the bed, then the OB introduced herself to me. They were about to call hubby when she saw my referral slip (my OB is from UST, but since the 4d ultrasound machine that UST bought is not of good quality, they had it shipped back to be exchanged for better machine. Thus we were referred to Medical city which is so much closer to home) and saw that my OB requested a different OB to do the ultrasound for me. I was ready to go through the entire process and downright excited that I was about to tell her its okay. But then again, before I opened my mouth to coax her to proceed, she said she needs to follow my OB's request and that my OB (Dra. Decena), was her professor in UST Med School. So I had no other choice but to go ahead and stand up and go back to the waiting area and join my already sleepy hubby, dad and bro.
The doctor we were referred to arrived a few minutes after 10am. Shortly after she arrived, I was called in. She then asked me to lie down and has already put that clear gel on my tummy, hubby was asked to come into the room and she went ahead and checked on our little boy. But she said she wanted to transfer to the other room where she has a better feel of the machine. So we did. When we got there, we were so excited to find out how our little boy looks like. He was either a bit shy at first or was purposely teasing us to build excitement as his feet and hands were covering his face. We talked to him telling him to let us gaze into his little face, and he obliged! He then removed his feet, then slowly he removed his right hand, and finally he removed his left hand and put it on the side of his face. The first thing that we saw is his nose. I've been praying really hard that he wont have a flat nose, and the Lord granted my request. Because the OB delightedly announced: "Wow ang tangos ng ilong!" His cheeks were so round, the doctor kept saying "What a beautiful baby! Very healthy." I could not find words to capture exactly how I felt the time I was seeing him moving. In the picture he even smiled for us, as if happy to be having his first ever picture taken. I looked at my husband, and he is a picture of a proud dad. His smile is from ear to ear.
We were given (4) four pictures. 3 of his head shots, while hubby requested that the OB take a picture of his genital area to brag about the fact that he is a boy. The doctor happily obliged and was even humorous to put 3 arrows pointing to the penis and the balls. And she typed in the words = "I'm a BOY!". We were ecstatic. Especially everytime the doctor kept on saying he's healthy and that there are no signs of any abnormality - down syndrome, hydrocephalus (dunno how to spell it) etc., and that everything is fine and dandy.
It took about 15 minutes and then we were told to go back for the result of the normal ultrasound (which we're suppose to show my OB the next day) after an hour and for the rest of the pictures and the CD after 7 business days.
My hubby is yet to take a picture of the 4d ultrasound. I've been pestering him for days already. He said he will on the weekend. So please pardon me, since we have yet to upload the picture then. But I definitely will upload it. hehe 
talk about a proud mama!

I know maaga pa, but do you have a name yet?
Posted by Venus at June 9, 2007, 7:15 amWow Amgine, congrats. I can imagine you and your hubby’s excitement.
Here are your questions for te ‘interview me’ thingie. Hope you dont mind my posting them here.
1. Your beautiful baby boy has just been placed on your throbbing bosom. What wlll be the first thing you will tell him (as you know he would surely understand, the newborn that he is).
2. There is time for everything and for everything there’s a season. How would you call or name or describe this very season you ae exeriencing right now.
3. As you choose your baby’s name, you also decide to choose a second name for yourself — what will these two names be?
4. Summer is scorching for all of us here in Pinas. How much more was it for a lady 6-7 months preggie. How did you cope?
5. The grass is greener at the other side of the fence. By same token, the fish that got away also seem fatter. Myth/illusion both — don’t you think?
Hey amgine … how’s Nao? Have you heard from her after the get together? Is she back in Canada. Am just wondering

Posted by Ward30Vivian at May 22, 2010, 7:36 amAt last firemen have put out a big forest fire in California. Since then, they have been trying to find out how the fire began. Forest fires are often caused by broken glass or by cigarette ends which people carelessly throw away. Yesterday the firemen examined the ground carefully, but were not able to find any broken glass. They were also quite sure that a cigarette end did not start the fire. This morning, however, a firemen accidentally discovered the cause. He noticed the remains of a snake which was wound round the electric wires of a 16,000-volt power line. In this way, he was able to solve the mystery. The explanation was simple but very unusual. A bird had snatched up the snake from the ground and then dropped it on to the wires. The snake then wound itself round the wires. When it did so, it sent sparks down to the ground and these immediately started a fire.

Posted by Hermes Replica at November 26, 2011, 6:09 pmGreat recommendations. However, I might add grabbing a beer at the Terlingua Trading Co, sipping it on the front porch while watching the sunset, and then walking next door to Starlight for dinner. But it’s great to see other West Texans appreciating what’s right here in our own backyard. Good list.
