Babymoon
As a bulging pregnant woman enters into the second trimester, it is recommended that a “Babymoon” be taken before your world (and your husband’s) turns completely upside down. So we did. We took the only available long weekend for sometime and flew to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. The food, the city and the hotel were really great and we had a wonderful time! We even took one day off from the Baby lessons (remember http://www.babyplus.com ?!) which both Ian and Monkey seemed extremely grateful for!

A big milestone last week was that Monkey ”passed” the detailed ultrasound scan. All his organs seem to be intact and he is growing nice and healthily. No complaints from the doctor at all. Our monkey raised his hand and waved to us again this time and I was really excited by telling the doctor that the baby tends to do this at every scan. The doctor didn’t even smile and coldly said, “it is likely to be a coincidence.” Man, couldn’t he have some “excitement” for a new mom? Lucky he is not my main obstertrician, or I could be screaming during my labor and all he would say is “women in the past thousands of years have done this, it’s no big deal!”
Another thing we asked was whether we should have a “4-D” scan and he thought it was a nuisance and simply put it: “it’s a waste of money and if you want to see the face of your baby before he’s born…why not.” So, we are probably not going to bother with a 4-D, especially knowing that we have to go back to him for an analysis. That will be a WASTE of time.
Here is Monkey’s face from the side, with his nose pointing upwards:
So all is well at 22 weeks… and much love from the HK Lacys.
