Confirmation Round 1

   It was off to Doctor Soh for a scan to make sure the little is still hanging around. Surprisingly, the doc actually remembers us from 2 years back. Without asking, he confirms that Momma Bear is actually fat and pregnant. Then he offers to scan us for confirmation.
   Bed found. Momma Bear lay herself down. KY Jelly smeared. Here we go...
   Moments of suspense is correct. We saw nothing. Momma Bear was turning green. Could it really be just a undigested chicken wing stuck inside instead of a little kutu?
   More searching and Doc starts to shake his head saying " It's ok. I will need you to come in again in a weeks time. It's still early. Maybe kutu is shy and hiding. Who knows...WAIT."
   " There you go." He pointed at a smear in the screen. Looks more like a blotch to me.
   " That's the baby's sac. That's where baby will be cocooned inside for the next 9 months"
   Aaahhh.. that makes more sense. Doc is happy. Momma Bear is also happy. And off we go after grinning like new parents. Pheww.. No chicken wing scare this time around. We are due back there in 2 weeks time to search for the blinking LED. That's the baby's heart beat.
   It was Tom Yam soup for supper last night... Momma came home full and knocked off within 2 minutes. Could hear her snore contently.
