After a lot of reflection on things this weekend, I thought it may be time to give an update on here. It's amazing how crazy life gets and how fast the weeks go by....
I'll be 19 weeks this week. We find out a week from today if Baby Gomez is a boy or girl. We can hardly wait!! It's been 8 weeks since I had the last ultrasound and got to see our sweet child that has captured my heart already. The thought of seeing him or her (and being able to call him or her by name!) next Monday puts a smile to my face. I always get anxious going in for appointments and pray that things are developing normally. But the last few days, the baby has given me reassurance that things are going well- his or her kicks are getting stronger and more frequent, and I love being able to feel them!
In a previous post, I mentioned that last time I was at the OB, my heart was beating pretty fast and I was sent to the hospital for an EKG. I got a call a few weeks ago that it came back abnormal, so I was referred to a cardiologist. Last week was my first appointment with him, and it was still pretty fast that day. I had to wear a heart monitor for 2 days (longest 2 days of my life...those things are heavy!) and had an echo ultrasound of my heart today (and she mentioned it was still pretty fast...) I should know something soon about what's going on, but please pray for answers.
I do have to give a huge thank you to the Heart Group in Henderson. I have never been to a dr's office where every single appointment was on time, and where you were remembered by name after only being seen once. The dr. saw me in the hall today after I completed my echo, spoke to me by name, and said he would head back right then to view the results. The tech also told me it was their policy to call with all results of any test or labs, whether they were normal or abnormal. I'm used to the "you'll hear from us if there's a problem" policy at other offices, so this was much appreciated. I highly recommend this office!
On another note, Eddie & I had a great weekend. We got the baby's crib (thanks to one bargain shopping friend and another that transported it to our house!) and started on the nursery. All this weekend, I couldn't stop picturing our lives as a family of three. Everything we did - from getting ice cream on Saturday afternoon, to taking a walk, to dinner with family, all I could see was us as a family of three, and I loved every second of it. For three long years, Eddie and I dreamed about what life may be like with a child, but wondered if we would ever get to that point. I feel so incredibly blessed that God has given us this child and we can truly start to imagine what life WILL be like in about 5 months. :)
Please continue to pray for both mine and baby's health. I'll post again next Monday after we have more ultrasound pictures and find out if we're team pink or team blue!
