What an amazing day that was.....
Mike unfortunately couldnt make the appt at the very last minute because he had an emergency at school, so my beloved Dr J took this picture so we could send it to Mike.
That was the last time I saw his heartbeat.......
As my birthday is coming up I was thinking back to birthdays I have had in the past. Growing up, it consisted of birthdays at the Spur - getting a Chico the Clown for dessert! In the last few years they have entailed dinner with Sheldon and kathleen because Shel and I share a birthday!
This will be my first birthday in Singapore AND my first birthday in 3 YEARS that I am not pregnant!
Somehow I have always been pregnant on my birthday and somehow each birthday has been a 'scan' day.
I had not intended them to be scan days at all - as I didnt want my birthday to be ruined by heartbreaking news - but my appt has always been moved to the 25th.
And I am incredibly grateful that those birthdays have been happy ones.
They have been more special than I could ever imagine!
But ignorance is bliss!!!
Thank goodness I didn't know what lay ahead!
So as I approach another birthday on a VERY different path to what I had expected, I am grateful for what I have!
