Dear Baby- A Letter to my future child

-

 Dear baby, 

 

You technically don’t even exist but I already love you so much. Your daddy thinks I am crazy, however I think about you everyday and how I want you to be in my life so much, however timing hasn’t helped get you to us. You see baby we are living in a worldwide pandemic, which has plagued our lives the past year. The coronavirus also known as COVID 19 has been a disease, which has sickened many and unfortunately caused some unfortunately souls to loose their lives.  As your mommy my number one job on this earth is to protect you from any potential dangers and you see precious baby, mommy is a healthcare worker and has been exposed to so many sick individuals that your daddy and I did not want to be put into a situation where you would not be in a world that was safe for you to live in. We thankfully have a vaccine, which is offering some protection so if we do get the virus our body will know how to fight it. The world is upside down but is slowly turning around in a positive manner. You would not believe it baby; we are wearing masks everywhere we go! When mommy was a little girl masks were only for Halloween or costume parties but now it is a daily reality! 

 

With things calming down with the virus, your daddy and I had a conversation that because mommy is getting a bit older and we think it is time for us to try to bring you into this world to be with us. This made mommy so happy because I have wanted to have you come into our family for the longest time. I went to my doctor who I chose because I wanted him to deliver you and part of a routine checkup on mommies reproductive track I learned that I have what they call a bicornuate uterus which basically means that I don’t have the greatest home for you to grow as big and strong a some other babies are able to do so. When I found this out I cried so much and called both your daddy and grandma due to my lack of giving you a perfect home while you are in mommies tummy. Despite this complication I am going to try to do anything and everything I can to make sure you are part of our family. Mommy is trying to get her body in tip top shape in order to carry you when that time comes. Please know how much I already love you! You already have a couple of onesies as well as a stuffed bear which says how special you are! Daddy and I have collected the best books from when we were kids in order to share with you when you are older, and you already have mommy’s favorite rocking horse in your room from when mommy was a little girl. Baby you are my whole world and I know that I would move mountains for you. Please bear with my less than ideal home in mommies tummy and please please grow as big and as strong as you can while you are in there. I don’t care if you make me sick as long as you are successfully growing and staying in mommy’s tummy as long as you can. I love you infinitely baby and please come to be a part of our family soon. 

 

 

Love your mommy!

MRI Scan of the Pelvis

-
       I recently had my MRI this past Wednesday March 24 th at 8 am. Thankfully my scan was close to my house at an independent imaging facility, however it is located on the hospital campus where I will eventually choose to go for delivery if all goes well as my OB/GYN has privileges at the hospital. This is actually my second MRI overall so despite the fact I was nervous I was familiar with the process. Despite my knowledge about the scan it is still scary going into a hollow tube especially with underlying claustrophobia. The scan itself lasted about and hour with the majority lasting during the first phase which was taking pictures of my pelvis without contrast. The second phase I came out of the MRI tube and I was then given a quick dose of contrast then was placed back in the tube. For the final phase of the scan they then took pictures once more of my pelvis and the process was over.     Thankfully I tolerated the procedure well and was somewhat rel...

Starting a Family- Expectations and Dreams Altered

-
            Time is fleeting and often you don’t realize how important something is for you until you have the potential for it to be taken away from you. I throughout my whole life have been on a plan and have had several life goals that I have successfully achieved at designated and normal times according to societal expectations. Graduations, jobs, promotions, advanced degrees, marriage, adopting a dog to prepare for a child.   With all of the specific goals set, the next goal which   I wanted to achieve was starting a family, however the first obstacle for that plan was that was unfortunately the COVID 19 pandemic. As a healthcare professional I have been though the brunt of it the past year seeing and treating COVID patients. We have gone through so many transitions in the past year, however at the beginning we were extremely cautious due to the fact that we had a limited about of supplies and had to get creative such as homemade masks a...
