    heart to heart

    8/22/08 BBT was still high. Tried the first urine in the morning. Saw two pink lines in a minute. I was in tears, happy tears.

    9/12/08 first prenatal appointment. I wigged 112 lbs. Blood pressure were good. The nurse asked me some routine questions and doctor did the pap smear. Found bacteria in my urine. Took antibiotics for three days.

    9/15/08 Dating ultrasound. Saw the little bean with heart rate of 170BPM. Baby measured 8w and my due date is 4/27/09.

    Went to have the lead blood test done at another lab. The results was normal.

    10/9/08 2nd prenatal appointment. Met a pregnant female doctor who was going on maternity leave the next day. Couldn’t find the heartbeat with a doppler so we went to u/s room again. Found the baby and beautiful heartbeat of 170 BPM. I gained 5 lbs. BP normal, so was the urine. Gave them the urine culture just to be sure. Got blood drawn for Toxoplasmosis. All came back normal.

    10/13/08 Officially entered the 2nd trimester.

    10/14/08 Had the NT screening. The number came back normal. The baby wasn’t in the good position at first but he flipped around after I emptied my bladder. He/she was getting big! Heart rate 156 BPM.

    seven years later

    Seven years later, is America safer? I do not think so.

    The only way to help America be a safer place is that America can be a good member of the global community, not the boss.

    I just want a safe place for my child. That’s all a mother wants.
