I didn't get a chance to blog at all over the weekend because I simply didn't have the chance to!! I meant to get a bit of household chores done on Saturday, but I (AGAIN) woke up with a slight headache which progressed as the day went by. By nightfall, it was full blown throbbing. Nevertheless, we spent some time with Mark's parents and nephew and took them out to dinner. By the time we reached home, all I had strength to do was to lie down.
Sunday was even more hectic.. in the morning we took Hershey to the park for her playdate with Chow Chow and then came back to complete the list of household chores that were supposed to be done the day before. If I still don't iron Mark's shirts, he won't have anything to wear to work this week. Ironed hard for over 3 hours and then prepared Hershey's food for this week because I will be extremely busy with work and entertaining until Thursday.
While we were at the park yesterday, Amanda started fretting in her stroller and I offered to carry her (apparently most babies sleep better if they are being carried...). She's growing up right before my eyes because everytime I see her, she looks different and bigger. She also has such beautiful long lashes and a cute rosebud mouth. It makes me wonder what Chloe would have looked like now, how she'd smell like and what will her character be like. Will she be a fiesty one or a mellow little princess?
Oh yes, and last Friday morning I went to see another doctor to ask for a 2nd opinion on the tests and results that I have done so far. This doc is pretty senior at another local hospital and he is an uncle of a friend who recommended me to him. He said that the tests that were done were pretty comprehensive and he can see nothing 'abnormal' with me. He thinks that the symptoms of my miscarriages pinpointed only to one cause - infection.
So far he is the ONLY doctor who can confidently tell me that I will not have a problem with my next pregnancy if I am being closely monitored and give antibiotics throughout the 40 weeks. I have googled him before I made the appointment to see him, and true to the feedback that I have read online, he really gave me a sense of assurance and confidence. He also asked about my job and stress level, and I honestly told him that my job will get pretty stressful in the months ahead, to which he shook his head. (Hmmm... maybe if I do get pregnant, I need to consider quitting my job?) That was what Amanda's mummy did when she found out she was pregnant with Amanda...
Anyway, seeing this other doctor gave me the 'booster shot' I needed for my confidence level. Somehow I think the 2 hours that I spent waiting to see him was well worth it. If I do get pregnant, I think I will go back to him although it'd cost a lot more.
