Week 19


The 19th week. Two days later the baby is 140 years old, hald-way if his journey to this world. The aminocentesis taken two weeks ago found nothing abnormal, which was a great relief for the time being. In today's ultrasonic scan, the baby refused to show his face by posing a boxer's defensive gesture. Since the fetal face was not seen, the doctor suggested that we do a level 2 ultrasonic scan to identify more clearly if there is anything unusual. That is going to cost NT$2500. And yes, I said "his" face because the test result from aminocentesis revelaed its gender as male, so as in the attached ultrasonic scan. I just can't tell which part is so-called his "hard evidence".

By the way, it's choosing to be male costed me another NT$2000 loss.
