Mummy's thoughts:-
I remember that day when I went for the scheduled FTS (First Trimester Screening) during week 11. The FTS is a test that would show the risk of having a child with Down Syndrome. Well, I'm below 35 yrs old, so technically, that risk is low. But well, always good to have a check, so we can be mentally prepared for things, should they not be what we expect.
That day, Daddy couldn't make it at the scheduled timing. He still had class. But Daddy had promised he will zoom down to the hospital once class ended.
The screening was also a good chance to see Baby Louisa up close (magnified)....heehee...she was so cute! Could see her arms and legs...and she sort of "waved" (moved arms up and down).
However, the whole screening took over an hour...because Baby Louisa wasn't in the correct position to screen anything informative! She had her back to us! Not only that, she had to be lying down (horizontal) in order for the gynae to check the Nuchal Translucency of her neck. But Baby Louisa was in vertical position! Haiz....Have to wait for her to turn down a bit...hopefully she moves, if not, I'll have to wait and wait and wait.
Waited half an hour (did blood test etc while waiting)...went into gynae's office again (2nd time). Nope, still in upright position. Ok, waited again...3rd time in gynae's office...NO! Now she's moved...but she had her back to us! What can we see from her back view??? Oh my goodness...Naughty girl.
I decided to just relax at The Private Suite area - drink Milo, read mags...and talk to Baby Louisa. Had to tell her to be cooperative...and that Daddy was on his way (by then, Daddy had finished his class and was on his way down from Woodlands).
Finally, Daddy arrived. And just in time too! Daddy had just sat down on the comfy sofa when the nurse called for me again (the 4th time). We went in. This time...voila! Baby Louisa was in the correct position! Hmmmm....strange. Was she waiting for Daddy all this while? Coz she wanted Daddy to be able to see her too? Or was she "afraid" of Daddy...such that she decided to be cooperative once Daddy was around? hahahha...
Well, everything was done quickly, now that Baby Louisa was in the correct position. The gynae was so nice. He actually apologised for keeping us waiting. Hahaha. It was Baby Louisa that kept all of us (except Daddy) waiting! Well, she's entitled to do so...
