swinging to the left again

its 30 past eleven on a tuesday... THE WIFE and junior have turned in and i am rushing my report for tomorrows morning weekly meeting... hours of fun..... we were at dr theo office for the 15 week appointment... this is the appointment that we would have to fork out $500 for the package and the $200 for a blood test.... and most of all, this would be the day we would know which way number 2 swings... THE WIFE decided on the name for junior, so its my turn to name number two.... i was thinking that if number two is a girl, i would name her sophia but if he is a boy, i would name him joel....

we got to the clinic at 7... first come first serve... and we were the third couple there.... the telly in the waiting room was showing reruns of the simpsons halloween specials with chinese sub titles and no volume on... somehow watching simpsons while reading the chinese sub titles is no fun at all.... the nurse did a weight in for THE WIFE and it wasnt long before we were in the docs office...

doc: hello... how are you?
THE WIFE: okay... but i think i have put on weight...
doc: you are 51 now... you were 48 then... you have put on 3 kgs.... thats average... good... and the rashes? are they gone?
THE WIFE: yah... but i seem be quite sensitive to insects bites now...
doc: well... that clinic sent me a letter... it doesnt seem to be related to the pregancy... maybe just a coincident... so... are we ready to know the sex of the baby yet?
THE WIFE: thats the million dollar question i dont dare to ask....

the nurse prep THE WIFE on the couch, it wasnt long before we were all looking at the little black and white screen.....

doc: everything looks okay... heres the head.... the chest... the heart beat... arms.... legs... and here.... hmmm......
me: looks like a boy to me... can i have a picture of that?
doc: yup... 95% sure its a boy.... heres the spine... everything looks all right....

back at his table...

doc: i will draw some blood from you and get them tested..... i will see you in 4 weeks time..

the doc took some blood from THE WIFE and we made an appointment for the end of april.... when we were expecting junior, we seem to be waiting forever to know which way junior swings... but for number two, the pregnacy seems to fly by so fast.... midnight milk feed, shooting pee at me while changing him, cry just beacuse he feels like it, sleepless nights and long days...... i cant wait......

baa baa.... twinkle.... E F G...

its 2 minutes past 11 on a sunday night..... THE WIFE and junior have turned in and i am just making the most of what is left of a sunday night, its the 9th of march and yup its THE WIFEs birthday.... usually we would celebrate with a small cake with one candle.... we might start a fire if we were to use the actual number of candles.... hmmmm... happy birthday baby, i love you....

we spent the day at the zoo today.... me mum got this RC function and we got cheap tics....$5 each, comes with lunch, ice-cream and a lucky draw to boot..... crappy weather though.. it was raining then sunny then rainy then sunny then rainy.... you get the picture... but we didnt took much picture.... junior was asleep most of the time in his pram.... i cant really remember the last time i was at the zoo, 10.... 20years ago? the last time i was anywhere near the zoo was during me ns training in mandai more than 10 years ago... just across the road.... greens... trees... monkeys... mosquitos.... not much different.... hmmmm....

cousin izzac started his daycare school this week.... for the best part of juniors life, he would see his cousin izzac at least four times a week at me mums place... but now, he would only get to see him only on sundays... i think junior misses him.... when they are in good moods, cousin izzac would share food with junior, play with him, even helps him put on his shoes when grandpa brings them for walk walk.... its only when they fight that he pushes and junior bites....

now that theres only junior at me mums place, he would spend quality time with grandpa... grandpa would put some songs on the computer, junior would sit quietly on his lap and watch... they can do it for hours on end... junior dont seem to mind repeating twinkle twinkle little star, baa baa black sheep and A B C D E F G.... when you come to think of it, they actually share the same tune.... just different lyrics... gets stucks easily in your head too... hmmm.....
