17th weeks + scan

Baby is the size of turnip!
Symptoms of the week:
- acnes on neck 
- motion sickness 
- backache when in the same position for too long
- energy up and down on days

Finally is time to meet the baby again!
And the week to find our whether is a boy or girl..
As usual, my preference is a boy
and the husband's preference is a girl.
Before we left, we told baby to open his/her legs for the scan,
i even drank 7-up before the scan to make sure baby has sugar rush!
And, the results is...
Our baby girl was sleeping soundly with her legs wide open!
A bit unglam but at least the job was done.

The cyst that was found in the last scan grew
but its positioned in a way that does not affect our girl
and gynae does not seems bothered by it.
Actually husband and gynae totally forgot about cyst
and i had to ask for her to scan for it..
Crazily, she gave us photos of the cyst 
instead of the usual baby photos 
that i think that is pointless to post.

Gained 2 kg since the last appointment
and gynae says i should only gain 1.5kg
(which i didnt know)
Oh and my blood test results from early oct 
indicated i need watch my sugar level..
must be the daily bubble tea from sg, hehe.
Shall go for blood test again and hope is back to lower level...

The greatest good news is trisomy 21 test results is back!
Apparently the risk for down symdrome is 1:1200
so is really low risk and need not go for further test!
Woohoo!!!
We get to hear the strong heartbeat of baby
and i guess we are just happy that mother and baby are healthy!

I should be able to feel baby movements soon
or at least it should starts in few weeks
I cant wait to feel the girl
but i hope she wont drive me crazy with karate kicks!
