A visit to Pantai Hospital

My wife and I get ready early this morning to do our first baby check-up at Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur. We arrived about half past 8 and we are no 6 in queue to meet our chosen doctor, Dr Idora Mohamed.

"Zarina". Yeah, our turn to see the doctor. First time meeting, I can say the Dr Idora is a sweet, soft-spoken person. Glad my my had chosen Dr Idora for this.

After a set of questions about the pregnancy, my wife is up on the ultra sound bed.

"Baby looks good" "This is the baby face" "Can see the fingers, all the fingers are there, both hands" "This is the baby spine" Suddenly the baby just jump. Subhanallah, a moment that my wife and I would never forget, the baby actually jumping in the sac.

As Dr Idora explain that the baby and everything looking good, the baby jumped again. Wahh, our baby really is active and healthy. Alhamdulillah.

The size is good as well shown at 11 weeks and 5 days, exactly as per calculation by last menstrual day.

Overall, we were really happy and super excited today seeing the baby for the first time.

There you are, my baby

Turn back time on 7 Jan 2015, we went for our first ultrasound test at one clinic near Gombak area.

My wife was too curious to find out what's happening to our baby and can't wait for her first scheduled checkup on 27 Jan 2015. Well, me too was eager to look at our tiny little baby.

So we went to the clinic that night after returning from work.

"You baby looks healthy". So fascinating to see the ultrasound monitor for the first time with the tiny white area that supposed to be the baby.

"So it's 11 weeks in size". What, 11 weeks? Well, I'm pretty sure it's just 8 weeks by then. Alhamdulillah our baby is healthily fed with nutritions that it grows so quick.

"Are you sure there is only one, doctor?", "Yes, no matter what angle that I look, it's only one baby". The nurse asked us "You wanted twin". Yup, that would be a bonus.
