20 Jan 2010How time flies! Yesterday was already our 6th antenatal check-up with Dr Tan Lay Seng at Gleneagles. I always enjoy our appointments with him, even though we need to wait an hour or sometimes more just to see him each time
Dr Tan always has a smiley face on. But yesterday he was in a particularly good mood too. We got to enjoy that good mood of his by seeing LBJ a little while longer on the ultrasound. And we caught LBJ on screen sucking his thumb! Here’s a good side profile of our Little Prince ♥
Weighing 2148 grams at 33 Weeks 6 Days
Can you spot all his tiny features?

If only the thought of recording it on DVD crossed my mind then — I was totally lost in time! — else we would have had it immortalised! Now all I can rely on is my memory of that heartwarming experience of seeing LBJ moving his lips up and down sucking his tiny thumb *moved to tears*
I’ve discussed my birth plan with Dr Tan and he has given the green light for all that’s on my draft. After speaking with him about some of my concerns, he has given me more assurance to change what I’ve previously decided on — though not the Epidural part *bleh*
I’ll be preparing the finalised copy soon, so look up for Part 2 of My Birth Plan
