That’s the ultrasound printout of somebody important in my life – my kid. Yes, Emily is currently a happy expecting mother now… (Wheeee!!!)
Here’s the breakdown of what’s on the ultrasound printout, in case you people do not know what you’re looking at:
1 – Presumably, this is a USB modem that is connected to Emily’s placenta wall to communicate with the outside world. But it might be just an ordinary dial-up modem, I’m not too sure.
2 – Motorcycle helmet complete with sleek visor and aerodynamic design
3 – The top planar view of the afore said helmet
4 – A bluetooth-capable 3G cellphone with 2MB built-in camera for superior voyeur photo snapping (underskirts, downblouse, etc)
Alright, the fact is, I myself have no clue how the whole thing goes. As hard as I’ve tried to decipher the anatomy, I only managed to make out the head and one of the limbs of the fetus… and that’s about it. The doctor tried to scan for the kukuciao (dick), but that little guy (girl?) had his/her thigh clamped shut, and we couldn’t make out the gender yet.
But whatever the gender is gonna be, I’ve already got myself prepared to give this stranger a name:
Nigel – if it’s a boy.
Regine – if it’s a girl.
Hopefully, we’ll find out about that in the next scan.
Some of you would probably ask what happened to the first kid that I elatedly announced earlier. Well, ‘he’ didn’t make it (assuming he’s a boy).
Back then, Emily’s pregnancy triggered her SLE to flare out and she was hit with a severe case of pneumonia. She fought for her own life and the priority was set to save the adult. And hence, she was given with heaps of medications that could affect the fetus… and finally, my family (with the advice of doctors), made a unanimous decision to terminate the pregnancy.
That was one of the most difficult period of my adult life. (I’ve dedicated a couple of entries about it here and here)
But anyway, now that Emily’s well again, we’ve been making out like rabbits and got ourselves this gift of life again. With the constant monitoring from her doctors, she’s now bound to deliver the baby in mid of June.
Hopefully, everything will be alright this time. *fingers crossed*
young man – welcome to parenthood.
Tak sia-sia lah anda bertungkus lumus “bekerja” tiap tiap malam…. tahniah! chewah!! :)
Congrats, bro. I’m the daddy of a lovable 4-year old girl, and another baby girl on the way (due in late-June). Being a daddy changes your perception of and priorities in life : )
Congratulations to you both! welcome to parenthood! My sister in law too is expecting a child unfortunately, he’s with spina bifida. We tried really hard to change her mind from keeping the baby as the baby will not enjoy a good baby quality life….but then again, who are we? She is now in her second trimester….(sigh)
i’m sure everything will be fine now..no worries!!hehe!! and congratulations! *cheers* ^^
Congratulations!
I wish the best for you and Emily.
Hey, good luck ya? I hope all is well and all of you will be safe.
Dude.. good to hear this man. I was wondering what happened to the first one. I’m sorry about him/her though.
All the best man
I’m really really sorry to hear about the past Michael… I was quite confused after reading that Tomorrow’s Dawn post when it was posted coz I’ve never heard of the baby’s news anymore…
But anyway congratulations hahaha ! Everything would be alright dont worry ! I’ll pray for u ! =)
Congratulations on being a father. I trust you would be a good one.

btw fellow penangite here..
I’m so happy for you and Emily. Congratulations to both of you on becoming parents soon!!
I know about SLE and the consequences of it. That is why I am really happy that everything is alright now. You both would be in my prayers.
Some of my friends asked me the following question – do I hope for it to be a boy or a girl?
Well, frankly speaking, I have no idea. If I was required to make a choice, then I would say a girl.
But each time I say “a girl”, my friends would claim that I fucking lied to them… knn…
wishing for all of God’s blessings for your lil’ one. God will look after her/him. God Bless.
PS: And sorry (belatedly) for the 1st one.
Hahhaa so would there be a Nigelooi.net or a Regineooi.net in the future ?

Woohoo! Congratulations to you and your lovely lady. The Malaysian blogosphere rejoices.
And it’s also nice to see that your happiness hasn’t overridden your sense of humour to make those comments on the ultrasound. No doubt there’ll be more funny stories as Nigel/Regine progresses.
I’ve been following your blog for quite some time now, and this is the 1st time I’m leaving a comment.
Like many other readers I have also been wondering what happened to the 1st.
But anyways, just want to say Congratulations to you and Emily. I’m sure you both will be great parents to Regine or Nigel.
Congrats and good luck to you and the mother!
Thanks for the well wishes, buddies. I promise, I’ll make sure my kid doesn’t go around pressing your doorbells or tighten off your water supply…
