head-down at last!

we went to the doc last wednesday and saw pistoy again!

and! naka-head-down position na sya! good job pistoy! good boy! =D

he was moving around a lot when we were having the sonogram. as in sipa sya nang sipa, ang kulet! hehe! the technician (jeanice) is much more knowledgable than the last one last week. she was able to show us a lot of pistoy's body parts, organs, and even estimated his weight. he's estimated at 7 lbs and 9 ounces as of week 36! he weighs 1 week ahead of the normal weight bracket! nyaaaaks!

we saw his heart beating. sinisinok din sya nung simula, kaya di makuha yung heart rate nya. hehe! eventually, tumigil din yung sinok, at nakuha yung heart rate nya, which is normal naman daw. pero he's not practicing breathing. so we waited a bit more. there were moments of fear during those minutes na hindi sya humihinga, but jeanice is reassuring us na minsan talaga hindi sila nagpa-practice. then when he started breathing, we saw his lungs expanding and collapsing/contracting, it's amazing! =)

jeanice also took pics of pistoy's profile. ang tangos ata ng ilong, or yung orientation lang ba yon? tapos may pic din ng balls at patutuy nya ("looks like a turtle", according to jeanice).

we'll post pics soon! good news is that hindi na sya transverse lie. at yung amniotic fluid ko daw is within normal range na rin. last week masyado pa daw marami. sana hindi na mag-acrobatic si pistoy. anak, please stay head-down ok? =) please stay head-down and wait for lola ayet and lolo norbie. wag ka munang lumabas dahil wala pa ang minivan mo. =P

speaking of minivan, nag-apply na kami ng car loan and i'm already approved for a 4.38% rate. still waiting on another bank na in-apply-an namin, baka kasi mas mababa ang rate, eh di we'll go with that one. we might get the van this weekend, or next. depende kung aabot sa mail yung loan check.27 days to go, shocks i need to call some pediatricians! kalurkey, ang bilis ng panahon.
