A tiny mistake | 20 novembre 2008

We had our third and final compulsory scanning yesterday. At 32 weeks of pregnancy. This time we did it at the hospital where I will give birth which I have to say is much better equipped than the place we use to go to before. The Midwife that performed the scanning was lovely and really took the time to explain, in details what we were seeing. So we saw a healthy baby, weighting over 2 kilos moving around and even had a glimps at its face with its round cheeks and cute little nose (Well, not so little in fact so it might have inherited its mummy's nose after all!haha). As soon as Pan scans them in I'll publish some pictures here and here

It was mostly a positive visit - and it is just amazing to be able to see babylicious like that. However, the midwife also had to check the length of my cervix to see if all was remaining closed and safe. The Cervix has shortened since last time apparently (it was only 21 mm this time - down from 43 mm) which indicates that if Im not careful, I might go into labour a bit earlier than expected. But Since Dr. Cohen doesn't seem too worried and didnt prescribe any more bedrest than Im having now I think I should just take it easy and be happy that we have made it this far. Keep optimising (is that a word?) and the positive thinking. Not run around and apparently now Im also banned from cooking- after cleaning, washing up and shopping (that is from Pan and not by doctor's advice). 5 more weeks and the bun in the oven is ready so we will just have to be patient a little bit longer ("just a little bit longer"...missing those songs from Dirty Dancing).

Tiny little hickup, when looking over the file we got from the hospital yesterday, Pan noticed that a category had been filled out that should not have been.

Name: Courageux
bladibla but also
Sex: .

And there it was. Although we had been clear with the midwife that we did NOT want to know the sex and she told us to look away while she scanned in between the baby's legs (and I really really wanted to peek) I think she might have forgetten it when she wrote the chart. A little letter - that in other circumstances would be so harmless and innocent, a letter that would not mean anything anywhere else - but a letter that stood there just behind "Sex:". I really hope it was just a mistake. Or that this letter means something completely different - in hospital terms this letter must mean " the parents do not want to know". It has to be. Or maybe not. And then, it means that we know the sex of the baby. But since we cannot know for sure, you'll have to wait until the birth to find out :)

*update* Pan is insisting the letter has nothing to do with the baby. Only time will tell...
