Life Is Beautiful

"Life is beautiful,
but it's complicated,
we barely make it.
We don't need to understand,
There are miracles, miracles."

Following a rough year in 2006 with 2 miscarriages, Daddy and I were a little hesitant about sharing the good news we discovered on a day no other than...April Fools Day. We were pretty good keeping it to ourselves in the beginning, but as family members began booking their summer flights to come see us, we had to start sharing the news. After a wonderful confirmation today at the hospital, we are happy to let the entire world know that #3 will be joining our family in late November! And yes...that is a picture of our little angel from today.

I will try not to tie up my blog with the differences in maternity care compared to the US, but here is the general idea. I see a nurse monthly for my basic check ups and a doctor 3 times during my pregnancy if all goes well. My final doctors appt. will be during my 36th week at the hospital I am delivering at to discuss my c-section, or possible VBAC options. I also receive 2 sonograms throughout my pregnancy...first during the 12th week to determine the due date and second during the 20th week to check all organs. Here we go again!
