Prayer requests!

Today is a big day for Trish, she is having her beta today and we are all hoping for a great result because she and her hubby really deserve it!!!... They have been struggling with IF and miscarriages, so please give her your support.
Trish, I really hope this is the ONE..... A Big hug for you and David!!

On a different note, please also have Kathy on your thoughts and prayers as she is waiting for more answers after an appointment next week. Her baby is having an irregular heart beat and therefore she has been referred to a pediatric cardiologist.

Kathy, I really hope you get reassuring answers next week!!

The last Friday of 2007!!!

My appointment yesterday was a very short one. The report of the genetic u/s I had on Friday wasn’t ready so we couldn’t discuss about it. My OB/GYN told us everything must be great because he didn’t hear anything from the genetic specialist and during the u/s he hold me everything looked OK. Usually if there is something wrong he calls your OB/GYN right after the u/s and he didn’t so I assume we are OK. My OB will review the report once its there and he won’t call us unless he doesn’t like something.

I have had a very busy week!!!… Being the last week of the year there are a lot of things that need to be done at my office so we are all stretching every second as much as we can…

In the stores it is the same story… The days were hectic before Christmas with all the orders that needed to be delivered for Christmas and now with the ones for New Years. No complaints about it, we are happy that things are going great. Last year things were kind of slow after Christmas and we thought this year will be the same but nope, so far we have had a great week and we hope for great sales this weekend!

On a different matter, I guess it’s always nice to put a face to a name. I am kind of reserved of posting pictures on this b.l.o.g. I really don’t know why, maybe because this is the place where I can come and write about everything and anything -at the same time- without really thinking before. It is my “escape” place when I need one…. But then Farah inspired me because she posted a pic and I was happy to “meet” her and now to actually picture her talking when I am reading her posts. So I decided to do the same thing. The picture will not be here forever, just for a while so you can picture me when you read.

I hope you all have a wonderful new year’s celebration and a 2008 full of health, work, love and great surprises!

My best christmas gift ever!

I didn’t have a chance to update during the weekend but I am very happy to report that everything went well at my appointment, and it was my best Christmas gift ever!...

I just can't express how relieved I felt walking down to my car after hearing the specialist said that everything looked great. Actually, I was supposed to get several pictures of the baby but something went wrong with the machine and the nurse couldn't print them. The doctor was very upset with the situation and appologized a lot of times... I told him not to worry and that I was more than happy just to hear him say everything was OK, but he was really worried about the picture incident.... He told me that he would give me a 4D u/s free to make-up for the inconvenience!!!... That was nice!!!... Now I just need to do a little research on when is the best time to do it, if you happen to know please let me know!!!

I didn’t tell in my lasts posts that thank God there is nothing wrong with the baby, this kind of u/s was recommended by my OB/GYN even if everything looked right and we decided to do it. Here in my country is common practice to have an u/s every time you have a follow-up appointment during pregnancy, so I am lucky to get to see the baby each time I go to the OB/GYN. This genetic u/s is not mandatory if everything looks good but my OB/GYN suggested having it done anyway. We are convinced that we would not terminate the pregnancy if something went wrong but we did wanted to know the results of the genetic u/s so we could prepare the best we could to deal with the situation, in case we needed to. Thankfully everything looked right.

My OB/GYN is getting the report about the u/s and I have a follow-up appointment tomorrow to check on the pregnancy and to discuss the results.

Even though the u/s was very detailed and it took like 90 minutes, the baby didn’t want to cooperate too much when we wanted to confirm the gender. I needed to move to my side for a while and then to move to the straight position again and when we were giving up the baby gave us a nice view… I am sure you can guess with the picture added to this post!

I hope you all had a great holiday! ;)
