~ 12-week photo ~
it’s photo time again for the little one. and we were very happy to see that we could finally make something out of the scan. when the picture showed up on the screen, ari and i could immediately tell there is a head and body…
“wow! we can see head!”
then, slowly we can start making out the hands, legs, back, neck… even the fingers of the hands… we can still see the beating heart.
the little one was in the perfect position for the examination. the doctor explained that she can also see the nasal bone developing, which is a good sign that there is no major abnormalities. she measured the fluid thickness on the back of the neck to see if there is a sign of down syndrome… so far, the test looks good.
not long after the examination was done, to our surprise, he/she started moving and kicking around…we didn’t know that even in such a young pregnancy, the fetus could be so active. the little guy (or girl) was really doing a kicking to the point where ari said to the tummy, “hey, hey… stop kicking!”
it was so amazing to see the legs moving up and down the screen. i mean, he/she is only about 6cm tall, but the whole movement looks just like a regular baby. and this is only my 12th week!
so, today’s doctor visit was very exciting. not only could we see our little one moving around, but also i found out that i don’t need to take the hormone medication anymore. yay!
now, we need to find a name for the baby. it gets a little tiring to call it “little one”…

june16, thal? make it 19 like my birthday! :D Name, hmm… Elrond? ;)
Waa.. elo lagi menunggu juga nih Sat? Anak gue prediksinya January 2007 ini…
Anyway Thal, saran dari Nina, jangan terlalu dekat dulu dengan hewan2 (terutama kucing dan burung). Takutnya kena toxoplasma ntar. Anyway, better if you take Koda to the Vet untuk dicek. Just for precaution aja…
tau nih, tanggalnya ganti2. kemaren katanya 22 juni. mungkin ntar bakalan bareng ama elo, har.
kalo toxo sih, udah diancang2in dari awal. dari seblum hamil, gue udah di-test. koda juga. trus, gue juga meminimalkan main ama kucing dan berkebun. :)
btw, kemaren gue lagi nyari2 nama bayi, nemu daftar nama2 elf. mau diforward? :)
menarik ya, jadi semuanya berkembang mulai dari di kandungan, fisik, emosi, pikiran dst, maka ibunya harus happy dan tenang.
iya lucu. dan dari sekecil itu, udah berlaku seperti anak bayi yang udah lahir. amazing :)
Huaaaaaaa…soooo cute!!! when do u know its a boy or a girl? and the naming thing is soooo exciting too!! what kind of name r u thinking?english?indonesian?chinese?japanese?hehehe
hehehe… well, we still haven’t decided whether we want to know the gender prior to birth or not. and for the naming… well, it’s still a struggle. kalo bisa sih nama taneman :)
16 mbak? tanggung amat, make it 15 like me! hehehe
Howaaa udah keliatan yah, udah bisa active lagi…. hihi kebayang nanti ngejar2x dia kalo udah bisa merangkak ato jalan :P
Ultahnya kayaknya bakal deket sama si papa & mama tuh yah
iya, lucu ya, udah keliatan kayak orang…. kayaknya ultahnya lebih deket ama papa deh. tadinya malah sempet diduga sekitar tanggal yang sama. si naomi (yang ultahnya deket sama ama papa) udah seneng aja. taunya ternyata kemungkinan lebih gede di akhir juni.
Ikut seneng, semua baik2 aja.
Nama emang bikin pusing, dulu gw nemunya nama2 cewek mulu, yg cowok nggak ada yg sreg, kalo ada cuma satunya, dan mikhail dan pascal itu emang satu2nya yg kepikiran :)
Balian? hehehe atau Audrey? duh pasti dah banyak yg pake nama itu :)
sama! dapetnya nama cewek mulu! kalo buat cewek udah ada… kebanyakan malah. nama cowok itu susah banget ya….
hormone medication??
yep. i’ve been getting progesterone injected and in a form of pills since the beginning of the pregnancy. supposedly this is to relax the muscle around the uterus, since in the early days of the pregnancy, my uterus cramps like crazy.
if its a girl, Andraia
if its a boy, Mitchell
We’ve been calling our little girl Walnut for so long, that I’m not sure we’ll actually be able to come up with a real name for her when the time comes. Plus heh too many choices!!
hey thal.. i’m back in jakarta now. it was nice meeting you again and had a long chitchat over enchiladas. and it was also a pleasure to be invited to your pretty home and meet ari (finally!) and koda. say hi to them yaa….
i’ll call next time i’m in town again.. ;) maybe by then, you’ll be companied by the ‘little one’… :D
oi shin, thanks for stopping by and spend some time with us! it was great! yes, let’s hang out again next time you stop by singapore :)
yang penting namanya jangan sampe nyusahin dia kalo udah gede… kepanjangan, kependekan, keberatan (javanese belief ya) Kayak nama gue… panjang kayak kereta.. Yang susah ya gue sendiri… ngisi form biasanya nggak cukup… atau kalo lagi ke imigrasi asing.. pada nggak bisa pronounce and kepanjangan… Ya Thal… jangan yaa.. Hihihi!
wah, jangan panjang2 deh. ari’s last name aja udah bikin orang2 di amrik lidahnya kebelit2. pengennya yang pendek dan gamapng dibaca :)
gile kecil-kecil ude tendang-tendang ibunya! hyper!! XD lucu banget mbak. gitu ya rasanya ada orang lain dalem perut?
naah belum punyak nama buat anak cowok ya? gimana kalok Papyrus (masih ngotot) aja.. ato REN! (ah kaya nama tokoh kartun)… hmm, bingung ya nyariin nama buat orang.
ren ada di daftar, mi… tapi kok kayaknya sok ke kartun2an banget ya. trus, anjing tetangga gue namanya ren… :( mana anjingnya rese banget lagi!
wow.. little one is due for june 16. ours is due for april. we’re in week 22 and we can already see 3D image of our baby’s face :) hope everything goes well with you :)
oh, i didn’t know that you guys are also expecting! wish you guys well :)
