Ugly undefined little blob of cells with lots of space in the waterbag. That white curve is the umbilical cord.

More human looking now, but could probably still pass off as a rat.

Definitely human-like in form now. Space in the waterbag is getting tight. This was the gynae visit where he checked for the baby's sex and said, "Well, I don't see a boy. It is more likely to be a girl, but it could still be a boy."

Very unimpressive sonogram picture from NUH. The gynae at Mount Elizabeth had a better scanner and printer. But notice how Gaby does not fit into one single photo anymore.

Ah! I like this picture. If you haven't figured it out, Gaby's lying on her back and her head is on the left. The top left series of curves show her side profile. I told Lionel that he may not be the father. ;p Because both Lionel and I have thicker lower lips and Gaby here seems to have a more pronounced upper lip. But she could have taken the Heng grandfather lip -- Lionel's dad's upper lip sticks out.
Can you see her heart? It's quite high up in her chest. That black cavity in her chest. In the live sonogram, you can see it pumping quickly.

Here we have moved over to Zurich. This is our first visit to the gynae here at the University hospital opposite Lionel's office. They are really thorough here. This is the first gynae visit which left us with not just 1, but 4 photos!!!
Gaby's left footprint!
Gaby waving at us with her right hand and all 4+1 little fingers of hers.
Gaby sucking her thumb?
Gaby's thunder thigh (left) -- taking after Mum.
Heh heh, my knees! haha. I told Mark that I'm determined to find her the perfect chaochao to keep her company throughout her childhood! And that she's going to have a bolster no matter what the Swiss non-bolster-hugging culture is!
ReplyDeleteOh my! Those pictures are wonderful! They really confirm that you have a baby in there and not that you swallowed a football.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice stress reliever after screaming at 40 sulky teenagers all day :)
Hahahahhaaaa....... What a way to put it, Davi. What you say about the confirmation thing is true. I was still asking Lionel if I was really pregnant a couple of months ago. Pretty unbelievable -- that random mass of cells developing into organs, systems and a whole individual who lives in my body.
