The baby is a boy! Now some questions
Hi folks,
Well as I and some of my friends predicted based on our intuition, our baby is a BOY!
I even have documented proof that I knew this in advance, as I stated on my video camera before our ultrasound session at the maternity clinic, that I strongly feel from my sixth sense that it’s a boy, to the point of certainty. AFTER that, our nurse showed the body part of the baby on the ultrasound image screen that confirmed it, validating my sixth sense.
Now, if you are a skeptic, you might think that it’s not a big deal to guess right on a 50/50 chance. But this wasn’t the first time I had a sixth sense knowing that turned out to be correct. I once guessed the correct suit on playing cards (a one in four chance) five times in a row. And a few months ago, I did this in front of Dianne and she saw it with her own eyes, me guessing the correct suit on playing cards in her hand, 6 or 7 times in a row. (it was NOT a magic trick, I was relying on PURE ESP) After that, I attempted to guess the exact suit and number of the cards in her hand just for fun, and got them right TWO TIMES IN A ROW! Somehow, I just knew that the next card she was holding was the Ace of Spades, there was an inner knowing about it, and when she turned it around, IT WAS! I couldn’t believe my eyes, though deep down, I knew that ESP/telepathy was a reality. She was amazed too.
And earlier today, before going to the maternity clinic to do an ultrasound on Dianne to determine whether our baby is a boy or girl, an inner knowing/realization hit me when we went through the door of the clinic, that it was a boy. No doubt about it. Before, it was just a hunch, but when we got to the clinic, it became a clear “knowing�. I documented this on my video camera too, before the ultrasound even started, so I have objective hard proof of this. Then I filmed the ultrasound session, which confirmed that our baby is a boy. The nurse showed on the ultrasound image, the part of the baby’s body that indicated that it was a boy. In addition, several of my friends emailed me the day before and told me that they felt that it was a boy too. So I am confident that ESP and a sixth sense DO EXIST, and that I possess some form of it occasionally.
This reminds me of an incident I still remember back in 1979 or 1980, when one of our daycare directors called us all to come forth for the announcement of our next field trip, minutes before the announcement I had an inner knowing/realization that she was going to announce that we were going to see the new Star Wars movie “The Empire Strikes Back�. A minute or two later, she announced just that. (And no, I wasn’t hoping that we were going to see that movie, at the time, I wasn’t that big of a Star Wars fan yet and was indifferent to it)
Such events would seem to suggest that I might have some ability to see into the future short term, minutes before the event happens.
Likewise, Dianne seems to have a sixth sense of knowing where things are, even in places she’s never been before. She can find Chinese or Korean restaurants at my request, even in crowded city streets of Manila that we’ve never been to. I’ve seen her do similar things so many times already. And she has a special touch for things that I don’t. She even uses my electric razor better than me, even though I’ve used it for years, she’s able to use it to get hairs off my face that I can’t no matter how many times I brush against it! And she is able to cook dishes ready in no time, faster than what I thought was possible. She seems to have magical touches that I can’t explain. One time, during a rainstorm, after thunder followed lightning, she told the thunder to stop, and the next two times lightning came, no thunder followed! (Ok maybe I shouldn’t be sharing that, as it might discredit me, and the universe might have meant such an event to be private and special, but that’s how it happened, and I’m not giving any wild theories about it)
Frankly, I didn’t have any preference whether it is a boy or girl. I let the universe decide that. What’s meant to be will be. Dianne feels the same, though she fears that if it’s a boy, that it might become a “babaero� (“playboy� in Tagalog) like it’s father. hehehe. So maybe I should hide my site from it and never tell him about it? Lol Or perhaps I should change my name on all the content of my site to some pseudonym? (or is it too late to do that?) I guess for that to work, I’d have to be forgotten someday to the point where no one will remember me. Or remove the site when the baby is of reading age? Whatever the case, I told Dianne she can give the baby all the morals she wants to instill in him.
Anyway, now the question is: What name should we give him?
We forgot to get the free booklet of baby names that the maternity clinic was going to give us.
I want a name that is cultured, with character and beauty, but not too common either. The only thing that came to my mind was “Romeo�. What do you think of that? Would that make him easily popular with girls, or get made fun of? Dianne’s father wants him to be named “Renz�, “Bench� or “Wendel�.
As to “Wendel�, it sounds a bit feminine, lovey dovey mama-boy-like. “Bench� is a brand name of clothing here in the Philippines, as well as something you sit on, so I don’t think of it as a boy’s name. “Renz� just doesn’t spark anything. Frankly, I wouldn’t like a Hispanic sounding name, which many Filipino names sound like.
Any ideas? I was thinking of a name from Greek or Roman mythology, or something Celtic.
Another issue is that currently, the baby is “upside down� in Dianne’s stomach, which means that it’s technically standing rightside up and would come out feet first if being delivered. The nurse warned that if the baby were “upside down� when delivered, that it could not come out naturally feet first, and that a cesarian (surgically cutting open the lower half of the stomach) would have to be done. And that of course, would be costly financially as well as cause a lot of pain to the mother.
So what can be done to prevent that? Is there any way that we can influence the baby to not be “upside down� right before delivery? Is there some technological way to influence the position of the baby? Or some way to use fingers to put pressure on the stomach to make it turn? What are the odds that the baby will turn itself the right way? Is it even normal for it to be occasionally upside down?
Anyone been through this before?
Thanks from a new father,
Winston
PS – I’ll be busy getting ready to go to Taiwan soon, and probably won’t be online for a few days. In the meantime, Dianne won’t be able to sleep at night without me, literally. So we aren’t sure what to do about that problem for the next two weeks. I keep telling her that it will be alright and that she should count herself lucky that I’m not going away for 7 or 9 months like some of my friends did after finding a Filipina girlfriend here. But thinking that way doesn’t seem to solve her problem. So what can we do?
