And here we are, the 4 of us on Mother's Day. Here I am 32 weeks (8 months). For those who don't know our family, here you can see Deedee, Mark, Kalisto (belly) and me! Yes, Mark is destined to be surrounded by women. :P
WHAT's BEEN GOING ON
The latest news is that the weekly BPP sonograms have shown a healthy Kalisto, and that this week the NST's began and so far there is nothing out of the ordinary. They keep on with the close monitoring of me and my sugar and my blood pressure as I always have stable pretty numbers at home but when I am at the doctor's office my blood pressure goes high. This is not a surprise for me, as by the time they take my pressure I have been through taking the bus, people stupidity and then being there and getting pretty annoyed and upset at everything... I can't help it even if I try being positive. This is NOT my environment. They don't get I am not used to high number of people in small places... Comparing how things were with Deedee and this it seems I visited a spa when I had Deedee. Here I feel as if I were always going to a slaughterhouse. I know it is the people and their aura of aggressive stupid ghetto behavior... But, what can I do? Just try to keep on swimming... And take a bit of comfort in knowing it is just one more month...
C-section should be within the week of the 21st-25th of June. Cord blood & placenta banking are in the schedule, cross fingers so it all goes well.
And the baby girl's name is Kalisto Beatrix. Oh, the name woes! Back in the island our families hate the name as they insist it is a male's name. On Mother's Day I even got my aunt reading a list of names that she made with my mother... My opinion about it, along with Mark's... WTF?!!! Come on! The pushing-the-issue-in-every-phone-call is quite unnerving. Kalisto is a FEMALE name. Look it up, and stop the stupidity. Me and Mark like different, strong names. So, bear with it.
