happy

Heard my babys heartbeat a few times today and yesterday. I am so relieved. Nothing really going on these days, but I feel good, nah I feel great.

11 weeks and counting...

Went to my OB/GYN appt today, it was my first with the doctor who will doing the c-section, she was great. She answered all my questions, then it was time for the doppler...2mins go by...then one more minute and nothing. The silence almost made me cry, I knew it wasnt right, she didnt have a very positive expression either, then she says "looks like you are getting an u/s today". I couldnt even get excited, Leandro and I were beyond freaked by this point, but we kept our head up and off we went. We got there and I couldnt see the screen, I just kept looking at Leandro's face to see if he was happy sad or what..he says "oh there it is" i asked what and he said the heartbeat. I just wanted to grab the screen and turn it towards me, the tech didnt say a thing. Then she started talking and said how all looked well, the BPM was 167 and congratulated us. We were soooooo happy and relieved, because we were just ready for the worst at that point.

On an even happier note, I only gained 3 lbs so far, this might seem a lot for some but for me it is great. At this point in my last pregnancy I had already gained 15 lbs. I am hoping to stick to the diet the nutritionist helped me put together to see if I can gain a max of 25lbs and avoid Gestational Diabetes.

I guess now I can stop worrying for a couple weeks, thanks so much for everyone who kept us in their prayers.

V is 19 months old

I cant believe in only a few more months my baby girl will be 2. It is surreal to me how fast she is growing, and how fast she is becoming independent. We are all so in love with her, she came into our lives to make it colorful and happy, there are no sad days in our house her smile, hugs and kisses just make everything better.

I love you more than anything baby girl, I thank God everyday to have blessed us with someone like you. You are our dream come true, I couldnt have asked for a better daughter and friend. Thanks for giving my life a whole new meaning.

POOP POOP and more POOP

I have been changing about 40 diapers a day. My poor baby has the worst diarhea I have ever dealt with, I am totally clueless as what to do. I decided tomorow she will be on a liquid diet only to see how that goes.

As far as the pregnancy goes, I am a nervous wreck since i got the darn doppler that doesnt pick up a heartbeat. I am afraid I will get to the doctors on wednesday and they will say the baby is no longer there. I did decide to stop worrying, leave it all in God's hand and if I am supposed to have a second child all will be well, if it is not it is because V was meant to be an only child and I am ok with that, I already feel totally blessed to have a perfect child in my life.

I am off to rest some now, tomorow I have to hit up BJs and a few other stores my house has no food or water.
