straight from office, i went to Corniche Hospital for my 8th month check-up. i had my ultrasound first and as what was said before from my ADNOC Clinic scan, i'll be having a boy(that means, it's already 100% sure!). the U/S technician said that the photo above shows his "you know what". although i couldn't seem to imagine that that was it. hehe. ewan ko kung kulang lang ako sa imagination or i was just not trained to recognize the anatomy that well. =) weird noh, to think that my job involves some sort of black & white photography din. anyhow, he's a boy alright and now weighs 2062 grams! that weigh is for a 33 wks and 2 days old already, though he is just 32 wks based on calendar. ibig sabihin, matakaw kaming dalawa!!! hehe.

we were also checked by the resident doctor afterwards. like the previous doctor who checked us last time, he was amazed of my previous medical history (yep, he's a male). really proving that God is good. no, God is great! he also assured me that everything is normal and in good condition. thank God for that.

by the way, i have acquired this short novena from my GT forumers to be recited for 9 days... i'm also sharing this for other mom-to-be's:

Most Blessed Trinity, I, Your child, thank You for all the gifts and privileges which You granted to St. Gerard, especially for those virtues with which You adorned him on earth and the glory which You now impart to him in heaven. Accomplish Your work, Oh Lord, so that Your kingdom may come about on earth. Through his merits, in union with those of Jesus and Mary, grant me the grace for which I ask....

(Mention your request)

And you, my powerful intercessor, St. Gerard, always so ready to help those who have recourse to you, pray for me. Come before the throne of Divine Mercy and do not leave without being heard. To you I confide this important and urgent affair....

Graciously take my cause in hand and do not let me end this novena without having experienced in some way the effects of your intercession. Amen.
