Too Many Goodbyes

Since 15th July 2007, I've been saying goodbyes like no tomorrow. And all very difficult and painful ones. The first and painful one was when everyone came to see us off at the airport when we left for Perth. It was miserable. I couldn't stop tearing and the worst part was to see Zac cry. He kept crying and screaming for his Gong Gong and Por Por. So sad! And he didn't stop until the flight entertainment came on.

Then of course, when we went back to Singy in September and had to leave in November, it was another round of tears.

In March, Averyl and Sung came....tears. In June, my in laws came....tears. And the most painful, just 3 days ago, my parents left and went back to Singapore after a wonderful 2 week holiday with us.

I'd say the ones that find it most difficult to say goodbye would be Andre and myself, not so much Zac. Kids will remember but they can easily be distracted with other things. Things like that leave a very deep impression for adults.

I hate to say goodbyes!

Don't Care If You Know Already....I'm Still Telling You Again....IT'S A GIRL!

I just cannot describe that feeling when the Ultrasound Tech told me we are having a baby girl. After having such a cute bubbly son, I just know having a girl will just be as good!

Dre and I were there at the Women's Imaging Services bright and early. There was no one in the waiting area so that was a good sign. We were called in within the next 10mins. This trip was really important because the Tech was supposed to tell us if Jellybean was healthy and normal. But honestly, and I bet Dre would agree with me, we weren't interested at what the Tech was saying at all. Every time the Tech scanned the legs and bum area, I kept looking out to see if I could tell if Jellybean was a boy or a girl. But the Tech was such a pro, she just kept on doing what she was supposed to do and kept checking for all vital areas of Jellybean to see if all was good.

So finally, after a good 15-20mins of waiting, the Tech gave us the drumroll and told us what we wanted to hear. "Congratulations! You....young lady are going to have a baby girl!" I threw up my arms and screamed for joy. At that moment, nothing in the world could take away that happiness from me. NOTHING!

The Tech did say that all scans are 96% accurate and though Dre is still hoping for that 4%, I'm pretty sure that I'm going to have a daughter. And besides, I've already chosen the name when I was like 9weeks preggy. Never even bothered to think of boys' names. So 96% is more than acceptable to me!

Oh and if you're wondering what the name is...tee hee...you'd have to wait. We have to get approval from higher authorities first...(meaning the folks lar). So till then...stay tuned.
