June 4,2008:

My 3rd doctors appointment.Today was really quick.I got to hear my baby's heartbeat,which my doctor said sounded "fantastic".I'm growing at a good rate.She gave me my results from My blood test and i am relieved that everything was negative and just fine.Wheww!So then i went to get more bloodwork done but this time it is for my BABY,to check for any birth defects.I have to have faith and i know we are in God's lovely hands.We are so excited that we will be getting our sonogram next thursday.Can't wait to see our baby.I hope it is moving and growing,that's all that matters.Maybe we will find out what the sex is!I thank God that everything has been going smooth so far.I consider myself "lucky" at this point in my pregnancy.I love baby Eli or Araceli,always...
