About Me

My photo
Everything happens for a reason. This is what i keep telling myself these days. With all the troubles that i had last year, i pray that i come out on top as a stronger person.

For one chapter to begin, one must be closed. I'm closing the chapter of my life where i am a victim of circumstance, and opening a new chapter where I am full of optimism. I got accepted into Sierra College's Nursing Program for Fall 2009 . I know this is the start of a better life for us. I'm extremly blessed and fortunate to have gotten into the program after only applying once. I'm taking this as a sign from whatever greater power there is out there that this is what I am truly supposed to be doing. i'm not taking anything for granted anymore.

Ultrasound Day!

19 Weeks and 2 days...

Today is the day i've been waiting weeks for. Sometime back in February I was talking to my Tita Monic, and she told me about this old wives tale about buying an outfit of the sex u want and putting it in your closet. Your wish will then come true. Kinda far fetched...i know. But it was worth a try.

I went to old navy and bought this pink layette with hearts all over it. I put it in my wardrobe, hoping to get the expected outcome.

Now that day is here. The instructions were to drink 36 oz of water an hour before my appt and to hold it, so that it brings my uterus up. That was so hard. I was just a little bit past half where i could barely take it anymore. That was enough water for me!

I checked into radiology at 12 pm, and waited anxiously for them to call my name. Tai was with me, as well as my mom, my sister, even my brother. After about 10 minutes, they finally called me. I walked over with the tech to the ultrasound room. I was in there by myself for about 15 minutes, while she took a whole bunch of pictures of the baby. She was so quiet. I don't think she said a word to me that whole 15 minutes. That was kinda worrying me.

Finally, something out of that mouth of hers. "Do you wanna know the sex?" Of course the answer was YES! She turned the screen towards me, and showed me that it was......

18 weeks and 2 days

Weight: 136 lbs
Blood Pressure: 129/86

I've just been a basket case lately. i have so many questions about what's going on in my body. I keep feeling a little pitter-patter but i'm not too sure that it's the baby.

I must really be annoying my doctor with all of my emails.

I have my sonogram next week. The one that tells me whether i'm having a girl or a boy. i'm so anxious to find out. i hope that it's a girl.

I had another appointment today...and they did all of the usual things. I'm not big yet...at all! i've only gained 2 lbs so far. All and all i feel great. Just anxious to start feeling my baby move, and anxious to finally call it a girl instead of just baby.

Stayed tuned for my next blog. Hopefully i'll be able to find out what the sex is, and i'll have the pics posted as well. Let's all think PINK!
