Ultrasound Results

I had a pelvic ultrasound done today by Dr. Tumbocon at the Exalt Emmanuel Medical and Diagnostic Clinic along Gen. Santos Drive, Koronadal City. We arrived 10 minutes early (excited much?!) so we had to wait for him. As soon as he arrived, the assistant led us inside the clinic and I was instructed to lie down. 

Dr. Tumbocon began by showing us the head of the baby. He was pointing and describing something on the screen but I really couldn't figure it out. Haha! Anyway, he said that the head size is normal and the brain development is normal, too. 

He then moved the device to show us the baby's abdomen. He made some measurements and stuff that I didn't understand. He also turned on the volume and allowed us to hear our baby's heartbeat again. He inspected the placenta and the umbilical cord which are both ok, and said something about the little one having enough food. He also pointed at the baby's feet which I wasn't able to see clearly, again! Honestly, I just couldn't absorb everything that he's saying because I was so excited to know if we're having a girl or boy. Haha! 

Then, he paused and started clicking on a captured image. He said that it's the baby's organ and that we're having...(drumroll, please!)....

...a BOY! 

Our reaction:

EEJAY: Talaga, doc? Lalaki gale? (Really, doc? It's a boy?)

JOEY: Hahaha! Sabi ko sa'yo boy eh. (I told you, it's a boy!)

We were happy and surprised because Eejay's mom and almost all our friends are saying that I could be having a baby girl, because I was blooming and all, and the shape of my belly is so rounded. All of which are indications of a baby girl according to old people. So, all the while, we thought we're having Zoey Grace! Our little boy, Euan Jedric, definitely surprised us! The time I spent searching for a baby boy's name surely paid off. ;-)

In addition to the above observations, Dr. Tumbocon also said that the previous EDD on the 24th of February is changed to February 14, 2012. He said that this date is more accurate. He also said that the baby's size is a bit bigger than normal but not at all critical. All in all, he said that the baby is looking good and healthy.

Upon finding out that we're having a baby boy and that his development is right on track, we can't help but be more excited. Now, we just can't wait to meet him!
