We arrived just on time at KK AMK (i.e. 5 minutes after appointment time). Thank God that we could borrow the car from dad today. Of course, parking was a problem, but we got a lot in due time.
After waiting almost an hour, our number was flashed on the screen, and we were greeted by a kindly-looking man named Dr John Tee Chee Seng. He started up the ultrasound machine and started scanning Daphne's tummy, and informed us that there were 2, instead of 1, occupant in Daphne's womb. With a few expert clicks, printed out and measured a black disc-like growth just below our 1.8cm sized baby.
The natural questions ensued, and he pronounced that there was a 8.5 cm sized dermoid cyst, which is 99% non-cancerous, but was large enough to risk impeding the growth of the fetus.

He said that there's nothing to worry about, cos it can be easily removed with a low risk operation at the end of the first trimester.
As we drove on home after lunch, Daphne was visibly worried. I told her that God would protect all 3 of us in His own way, and that the best place to be was in His hands. I couldn't remember her whole response, but the thing I clearly heard and wholeheartedly agree with was that we needed to pray like crazy, at least twice a day for this pregnancy.
