The Moment of Truth

Today is the day we go see little Chamu again.
It has been two and half weeks since the last doctor visit and I have tried to eat well (and Jaime has tried every way he can to feed me) in the last two weeks but I still have limited appetite.
After waiting anxiously for 45 minutes, we finally got inside the room. First the scale. Despite the supposedly "bad appetite", I managed to gain 2.5 kgs in the last two weeks!!! That is more weight than I am allowed to gain in the entire first trimester. The nurse asked if I've had better than usual appetite and was shocked to learned that actually I am suffering from morning sickness. She warned me to watch my weight because I will likely have enormous appetite later on. Oops, must be all the chocolate soybean milk that I have been gulping...
Then we started the ultrasound session. First, the measurement of Chmu's Nuchal Tube. The first reading was on the high side so the doctor took four more readings and told us Chamu looks like a very healthy baby to her. Then she asked if we were hoping for a boy or a girl. I said that I'd like to have my first-born being a boy (since I think older brothers tend to be more responsible and stronger and my little girl should be adored and spoiled by her older brother). Then there it is... the mystery is solved (and we didn't need to wait until May next year).

See if you can identify Chamu's gender yourself!!!! 1:27 into the video then you should see the big revelation!
