Visited the doctor this morning with Mrs M, her visiting sister, JC and PB. Good time had by all. In the obligatory "let's use the machine that goes ping to justify it's massive cost and our exorbitant fees" session we discovered the 33 week baby weighs about 2.27 kilos. The doc yet again dropped a massive hint as to the baby's sex by using the personal pronoun for the gender. It's making a mockery of our attempt to wait for the birth to discover if it's a boy or girl (you can still vote if you like over their on the right). Mrs M still faces a stifling HK summer of humidity and sweat until the 3rd apple of our eye joins us.

While enjoying the ultrasound we were presented with what the doctor alleged was a profile view of the baby. Imagine my surprise, while I was busy trying to actually see a face at all, when Mrs M turned and said, "Look, it has the same nose as JC and PB." Seriously. Despite extensive testing there was no proof she had taken narcotics this morning.

Maybe this is what they call "mother's intuition". I still can't work out where the friggin' nose actually is, let alone what it looks like.

If it makes you feel any better, when I saw the ultrasound on our second child, I mistook his arm for his penis in the viewer. Great hilarity ensued among the ultrasound techs. At least you did not embarrass yourself.

Congratulations on the upcoming birth! Although, over here in basketball mad US, we caution parents that with the addition of the third child, they have to stop playing man to man defense and now must shift to zone. Good luck!
