scan #2

we had our scan done yesterday. yep, there IT was, no longer a vague blob as in the first scan, but something that resembles a human form with torso and limbs, head--with a face! its just a standard scan, not one of those fancy 3D scans that you can get (like in sm). seriously, not interested. not appealing. yes, that's a baby, but we can wait for the features when it is born. 

we also told our doctor not to tell us what the gender is. both BBB and I are not that keen to find out. we are old school that way, and we can wait a couple more months to find out. Whichever is fine really.But random friends (at least those who know about it) think it’s a girl, basing it on the opinion that i am looking good, and blooming. true. i did read that you get less hair fall and better skin when pregnant, thanks to the hormones. now, can we retain those hormones til after i'm pregnant? 

those incredulous enough when they find out we don't want to know the baby's gender follow it up with--but what color are you getting the baby's things in?! white. duh. blue. duh. green. duh. yellow. i am not a fan of pink in the first place (tho i do wear it sometimes) and i am not a fan of too serious gender-related color-coding for kids and babies (barbie pink euw). but mostly white. i may be painting myself into a corner here as i haven't done any serious baby shopping so i may be stumped by some items. however, i do know that a lot of newborn basics come in plain white. we are safe. 

I’m around my 24^th week and have gained 10 pounds since the pregnancy. i’m due august 15 +/- 2 weeks. I am not looking forward to getting bigger. Most clothes here in cebu suck anyway, so being pregnant, that gets even more limited. Still wearing a lot of my lose dress shirts and tops. I’m on a quest to find these long dresses that they call maxi dresses, but the ones you find here are in cheap material or wild prints. I am not a printed clothes person. Rarely. I fell in love with a precious white cotton summer dress in mango and it was gone the next day. 

She who hesitates wastes the opportunity.
