above average

its nine in the morning, THE WIFE is feeling a little under the weather and i am home away from work... we just put up this curtain in junior's room, and i must say, the bunny is obscence... do they actaully do this for children's bedroom? well-done IKEA (the bunny on the left has a tail, the bunny on the right has a black circle on his you know what should be)

we were at the docs last thus, i lost count how many visit this is... come to think of it, i lost count how far into it we are..... but i do know that we have our appointments on thusdays, once a month... and next visit onwards, it would be every other thusdays, later it will be every thursday till junior pops.......

ANYWAYZ.... we were at the docs last thusday... they made THE WIFE took her weighht twice... sorta to comfirm her weight... it wasnt long before we were urshered into the docs office....

Doc: hows eveything? i see your weight has increased slightly, thats good compared to the big jump the last visit... you off the milk?
THE WIFE: yah, been watching my diet
me:mmmmmm
Doc: lets have a look see at the baby, see if we can snap a picture today... hmmmm... his arms are blocking his face... he weights about 1.45 kilos, the average is 1.2, so he is above average.... (wounderful machine the docs have)
me: so hes turning to be a big boy?
Doc: yah, but we dont want him to be too big, might have problem during birth... we will aim for a natural birth but if it cant be help, we will have to do a caesarean..
me:mmmm
Doc: looks like we cant take any pictures today, maybe we will try again in two weeks time.
we were back at his desk...
Doc: before you go, let me touch on the ambilical cord blood.... the blood is good, if you dont harvest it, they would throw it away..... it can be used for the baby himself, his siblings even his parents... give it some thought, i have some brochures outside, i think it cost about 800 for the whole procedure and then later 250 every year... you have to decide before the due date..
THE WIFE: we went to the baby class, they told us it was about 1200..
DOC: you get the brochure outside, call up this lady and say that you are my patient, can have discount
me:hmmmmmmmmmm

a doc with connections... how handy...

Whos your daddy?

its 20 past 5 in the evening, THE WIFE is watching some discovery channel program, when i am home on mc.... food poisoning.. i have been having the runs since last nite, and it aint a pretty sight.......

we went to the doc yesterday, we are into our 6th month... by now, THE WIFE is getting big... bearing in mind that she used to have a 28 inch waist, now she is almost as big as i am... i guess its a common thing that when the wives are pregnant, the husband will also put on some weight... the funny thing is, my weight has not really gone up, in fact i still weight the same as when i first came out from NS, abut ten years ago... i just got more wave-like around the mid area.... i still jog every other day, but you know you are in trouble when every step you take, everything shakes... and in case you are wondering, thats me in the bottom....

we got to the doc at about 7.30 in the evening... as we were the first couple there, we were sent into the docs office as soon as he was ready...

doc: so hows everything?
THE WIFE: everything is fine, i stayed away from the sweet stuffs, cut down on carbo and have been taking more fruits... but i think my weight is still going up.. is there a normal weight where i should be?
doc: yah, you put on 3.5kgs since your last visit, what else can we cut from your diet?... you should be increasing slowly, at this rate, you are almost "there" in fact you "owe" me some... are you taking any milk?
me:nope
doc:well, lets take a look at your baby and see hows things....(THE WIFE jumped on the bed, the nurse dim the lights the doc flick on the screen and i take the my position just behind the doc... i love it when everybody knows just what to do...)
doc: the baby's measurement looks okay, the diameter of the head looks normal, the weight of the baby is about 480 grams, the baby is of average weight, not too big, not too small.....
me:so everythings fine?
doc:yah.... maybe next visit we can do a 3D scan of the face, see how the baby looks like, hope the baby is facing the right way....
THE WIFE:okay....

and with that, concludes our 5th visit to the doc.. time flies, in about 3 months time, i will be someone's daddy... and i can get to use that infamous line "your father tell you" on him and not be faulted for it... cool......
