Today is Tuesday, September 25, 2007. Just prior to the anniversary of Angela Christine’s due date (September 13, 2007) all of the symptoms that I had been rooting on and welcoming as a positive sign that this pregnancy was thriving (breast tenderness, nausea etc…) dropped off completely. Needless to say it scared the heck out of both myself and my husband, but when he begged me to put a call into my OB/GYN; I explained to him that since I already had an appointment scheduled for the following Tuesday and since (as I had to learn the hard way with the passing of Angela Christine) there wasn’t a darn thing that I or anyone else for that matter could do if the baby had indeed passed away, I would just wait until Tuesday. On Tuesday, September 18, 2007 I went in for my 16 week check-up. I voiced my concern with my OB/GYN and she went right to work in an attempt to find a heartbeat. Well, once again our little “hell raiser” decided to make finding his/her heartbeat a total nightmare. After at least 5 minutes of fiddling around with the Doppler, my OB/GYN finally found a heartbeat which she guessed to be 140 THANK GOD!!! Now we just have to wait three more weeks for the “Big 20 Week Ultrasound” to see if our “hell raiser” is willing to share his/her sex with us which I have a gut feeling he/she will not…. Oh well!!! As always, please know that I’ll always be thinking of and praying for you and please take care of and be good to yourself…. Gina P.S. On September 19, 2007 I was able to schedule my repeat C-Section. It appears as though the "hell raiser" will be making his or her grand entrance on February 21, 2008....
