Little Baby Fernandez

Saturday, December 7, 2013, I woke up and decided to take a pregnancy test...pretty much for fun. (I have taken a lot of pregnancy tests in the last year "just for fun" and out of curiosity). I was expecting my "time of the month" on the 9th of December, but thought 'eh, might as well see...' really not expecting any good news.

I couldn't believe my eyes! Well....I told Israel. We were both happy. BUT, I had cramps and I knew that pregnancy tests do make mistakes (although people say there's no such thing as a false positive...well, lemme tell you...there is!) So, although I was happy, I really didn't believe it. I thought it was a false alarm.

I told my mom that day. Told her to pray for me, and left it at that.

Israel and I prayed EVERY DAY for the next few weeks, hoping all would go well. 

I was delaying scheduling our initial consultation (because of our previous experiences) and waited until AFTER our trip to Florida and after 8 weeks.

Well 8 weeks arrived and I made the call to my OBGYN. To make a long story short, I decided to go to look for another OBGYN after the receptionist was rude and didn't not want to schedule my appointment with the Doctor.

So I started asking around and decided to go with Dr. Jose Pinto. His office is a bit far, but he had wonderful reviews and was recommended by a good friend that had gone through a similar situation.

So January 10, 2014 arrived and I was SOOOOOOO nervous. Our appointment was at 3:00pm; they were running late so we had to wait a bit, but I didn't want to judge to soon.

Well, good thing I didn't. I absolutely LOVE my new OBGYN. Dr. Jose Pinto is the best doctor EVER!

9 weeks and I was able to see my beautiful baby with an abdominal ultrasound (which was new to me...I've only had vaginal ultrasounds and I hate them!)

There he/she is! But wait, that's not all! I heard his/her heart beat. It was SO beautiful. Tears ran down my face. I finally heard a heartbeat! It was nice and strong: 167bpm. 

I left the office SO happy. I was now more relaxed and excited to meet my Little Baby Fernandez.
