Sneak peak :)


How often do you get to see a 4.44 cm fetus, who happens to be your own flesh and blood? :) Not so often! Its was AMAZING seeing the baby for the first time!. Such a small, cute, little, tiny, micro, itsy bitsy living thing growing inside Eunice's body.


We decided to go for a scan at Aventist Hospital to see how the baby was doing, and was estatic to find a healthy and strong baby. The doctor said it was too early to know if its a boy or girl, but we didnt mind, we were just elated to have a glimps of him/her. I guess we have to wait another month before we know the sex of the baby.


Initially we were told by the doctor at a clinic that the due date was 20th January 2010, but Dr. Soon (our gynae) gave us a new and better date, 29th December 2009!! Thats like one month earlier, superb! According to him, the most accurate way to calculate the due date of a baby is to measure the CRL.

CRL?? Whats that? CRL = Crown-Rump Length. "Crown-rump length (CRL) is the measurement of the length of human embryos and fetuses from the top of the head (crown) to the bottom of the buttocks (rump). It is typically determined from ultrasound imagery and can be used to estimate gestational age." (courtesy of Wikipedia).
