Today, we went for Daphne's 12th week checkup at KK Hospital. Yes, this marks the end of the turbulent 1st Trimester.
Today, we would see the fruits of our hopes and prayer. Specifically, we were praying that:
a) Our child would be strong and healthy, growing on schedule
b) The cyst would have disappeared
c) Dr Tee would accept the invitation to come for BFC Anniversary
As usual, we were dilly-dallying at home, dressing up, double checking that we brought everything, and reminding each other what questions we needed to ask. Appointment time was set for 10.35am. Guess what time we reached the bus-stop to flag a cab? 10.30am! :D
And terok sia. It was semi-raining, and we kena cut-queue by 2 people for the cab. By the time we got the cab, it was 10.50am and we still kena jam on CTE cos got accident on the right lane at AMK Ave 1 area. By the time we registered at KK Specialist Clinic D, it was 11.32 am. (yar, we were the last couple that the doctor saw today)
When we got into the consultation room, after the greetings niceties, I blurted out that we were praying hard that the cyst would have disappeared. And so came the ultrasound scanning.
My baby is soooo cute! (I'll try to insert the ultrasound pic later) 7cm long and growing healthily! Everything appeared normal, but we weren't able to determine the gender yet. (pink or blue? pink or blue?) Dr Tee probed downwards, and quickly found another ovary, and then a little black blob he pointed out to be the cyst, which had shrunk to 1.3cm in diameter.
At first, I was kinda disappointed that it was still present, but Dr Tee said it was now medically insignificant, and we would consider it as non-existent for all manner of risk or concern. Anyway, by next month, it would be the last we'd see of it as the expanding womb would have grown 'over' it, and it would have disappeared by itself then anyway. :)
I then presented him with the Anniversary invitation, to which he showed mild interest. Please pray that he will come to hear the gospel. Btw he's a catholic, so please pray specifically!
Oh yes, did I mention that God is good? :D
