The one with a Hamburger!

It's a PRETTY BABY GIRL!!! the much-awaited ultrasound schedule has finally come yesterday and we are soooo ecstatic and happy that we're having a Francesca Simone! grabe! with all the families and relatives eagerly waiting to know the gender of baby Tan, super napapraning na kme yesterday ni simon...na baka, di pakita ni baby gender nya and we won't be able to know agad. hihihi. pero God is good...answered prayer at we were able to see her after about 45 minutes of petroleum jelly and ultrasounding baby. wala ngang kumukurap eh. my OB told us na sumakit eyes nya coz she really was'nt blinking the whole time coz she was waiting for the gender as well. hahaha. here's the detailed kwento...

from the moment we knew that i was pregnant, lagi girl and una pumapasok sa mind namin na magiging first baby namin. ewan ko ba, pero pareho talaga kme ni simon na we want an ate kasi feeling namin pag ate ang panganay, talagang iba mag-alaga...may maternal instincts na wala sa boys. and so as months went on, lagi sinasabi sa amin na girl ang baby namin. wala daw kasi masyado nag-iba sa face ko. gumanda nga daw ako. (naka naman!) hehehe. pero lately, some of our officemates were also betting that it's a boy. and because of that, for the past weeks, ang naiimagine naman namin ay baby boy! hahaha. and iba pala ang feeling. pag baby boy, parang ang saya na may kamukha si simon and pareho sila ng damit and proud ka na you have two boys in your life. pag girl naman, ang saya din kasi may little princess kme na aalagaan and that she will also be daddy's little girl. haaayyy...

so yesterday, i was'nt able to talk to simon the whole day kasi since busy sa work me, sya rin may recording in the afternoon and he left his phones sa cube nya. i did'nt want to go my OB alone. there were only two instances that simon was'nt able to accompany me sa OB dahil stuck sya sa meetings pero the rest, lagi sya andun. and i was waiting for his text before i can go to our OB. when he finally texted, sabi nya makakarating daw sya sa OB at around 430pm. eh til 5pm lang ang clinic. yikes! i was afraid na baka di kme umabot ha. so i texted my OB and informed her na we'll be there. nauna lang me ng mga 15 minutes kay simon. we were fifth in line pero mabilis naman yung mga consultations luckily.

when we entered, interview muna kme ni Dra. Dy. after that, we settled the billing sa ultrasound and entered na sa room. si simon pumasok agad eh dapat pala tatawagin na lang sya ni dra. pag okay na. hahaha. di naman halatang excited noh?! when dra. was checking our baby na, she called simon agad. we immediately saw her whole body, yung profile muna. and dahil naka-side view sya, we can't see her gender agad. ang cute nya tingnan. kasi galaw sya ng galaw. dr. dy checked muna the measurements, head size, leg size, length, etc. while waiting for her to show her gender. hihihi. eh biglang ayaw maglipat ng position ni baby. naka-breech pa kasi sya. at this stage kasi, ganun pa talaga position ng baby. so she advised us to talk to baby Tan para gagalaw. syempre, ang asawa ko tinatakot pa si baby...sumisigaw with a big voice..."BABY...BABY...PAKITA MO NA" hahaha. ako naman, i was asking baby Tan to move and show us the much-awaited thingy. sabi ko, "baby, you kick mommy" tapos sumipa nga si baby! natawa nga si doc kasi masunurin naman baby ko...at inglisera!!! bwahaha. tapos, after much jellying my tummy, my baby's gender showed up! when dr. dy said, "it's a girl!" grabe, heavenly ang feeling! napasigaw pako, "It's a girl?!?! san doc?" and si simon na nag-vivideo record eh napapababa nya na yung camera nya kaya tuloy yung clip na yun mejo bumababa at di namin makita sa video yung hamburger! hahaha. natutulala daw sya eh kasi overwhelming ang feeling! hahaha.

from the ultrasound (it's the simple ultrasound pa lang kasi we plan to get the 4d on the 7th month kapag mejo fully grown na si baby), we got a good look of her face. i think she has simon's features. pero no contest, she has simon's head. promise! malaki kasi ang head ko and irregular ang shape. hahaha, alien! and simon's fingers na super haba! katuwa! i think she got my feet (ang tataba eh) and nose (ang tangos!) yung nose, pansin talaga agad namin kasi nung humarap sya, kita ko agad nose nya. haaayyyy...ang saya-saya! syempre, tawag agad si simon sa mga mothers namin to announce the big news! nagtilian ang mga lola kasi pareho sila gusto nila girl. ang lolo, boy. nyahaha. up until now, we're still not done with the text brigade to our friends. hihihi.

i still don't know how to post video clips sa blog so i'll figure it out muna para ma-post ko rito. pics are still being scanned by simon. :D

we capped the evening with a good dinner (steaks of House of minis) and thanked God for a piece of heaven that He gave us. ang saya lang talaga! She will be named Francesca Simone. Francesca because we've loved that name since we we're in college and Simone because of her dad syempre. (di bale, i'll wait for my turn pag boy na.)
