Sixth visit to the gynae - 4 MAY 2007

Haven't been doing much posting because of travelling. Time flies! So, the sixth visit was on 4th May and nothing new. Dr Chew said that he will scan for the gender next visit, said 'next visit lar'. I supposed he wants to be sure.

So finally we sat down and talked about the test stuff. Dr Chew played mediator; I said that I do not bother at all if the child, as God's gift, is 'Down' or not and abortion is out of the question. Hence, I don't think it's necessary to go for the second type of test (I think I am still talking about 'Triple Test' stuff - that's the problem for not posting for too long!). The Missus said that she wants the 'peace of mind'.

The Mediator said that men think differently from women. So we need to understand that fact. So I said okay lar, go for two tests. Each test is about S$ 100++ and both is about S$ 230 ++ can't remember. By the way, the test is done by the lab at Gleneagles Hospital and Dr Chew's asssitant merely too the blood sample. It's a one-off test, by the way and it's not that pricey considering I found out that a place which is supposedly subsidised charges about S$ 300 for the two tests.

There was nearly a hoo-ha because the clinic was a little crowded and when "Chan Min Yen" was called, a lady sitting near to the counter stood up and went to the nurse. The nurse told her about 'blood test' and this bespectacled lady was like 'huh?...' looking scared and didn't dare to ask! Goodness gracious, what a stupidity! So the Missus quickly interjected that she is the one who is supposed to go for the test.

Nevertheless, today, at 1.30pm which is shortly, we are heading for the SEVENTH visit. We might be able to know whether it is a boy-boy or girl-girl; it's either "Mr Tristan Ngo" or "Miss Danielle Ngo". We'll find out soon, but maybe only.
