Catholic Animal Lover!

March already? Wow. Craziness.

Last Sunday we went to the SSPX Church again, this time due to weather and stuff. The priest was different, but still French. But he was cute, and a lot easier to understand. After service, Peter wanted him to bless my baby, if he would, because we were going Monday to the specialist Dr. due to them calling my pregnancy high-risk, and my baby possibly having an irregular heartbeat.

The priest was so friendly, and excited about our new addition. He said there is a specific blessing for an expectant mother, and took us up to the sacristy for the blessing. He got the blessing book out, and Holy Water, and we knelt–though he told Peter the blessing was for me and my baby, heh, not him–and he went through a full Latin blessing from the Roman book. It was amazing. A novus ordo priest probably would’ve just said “God bless your baby”, but this SSPX priest gave me the full blessing from ancient times! It was such a blessing.

The next day, we went to the specialist. We were early, and the Dr.s offices were about an hour behind. I was excited I got to go into an Ultrasound. This time, the nurse actually spoke to us a lot, and seemed to know more of what she was doing, and explained what everything was.

We immediately saw what the gender of the baby was this time! A baby boy!! YAY! No closing his legs this time! Plus, he’s getting so big! She showed us his little legs, and his feet–he was dancing or something. Probably didnt like being poked and prodded!

Then she said they were going to do a 4-D Ultrasound. I have no idea what that means, technically, but I know the picture was amazing! It was what I thought was a 3-D picture, but I guess not. Not just profiles of the ancient Ultrasounds. And not all offices have the new 4-D Ultrasounds, so we were blessed.

I asked if the nurse could show us his little face. The first picture she shot for, the baby had his little arm up, showing his little bicep (awwww!!!) but not his face! And oddly enough–due to the color of the baby’s skin, and the sac he’s in, and everything, it looked like he had no hand! But the picture is adorable. You can see his little ear… The second picture is of his face. He is SO AMAZING!

That a woman could see an Ultrasound photo, then abort her baby, is beyond me, and a true act of sickness.

Speaking of which–Peter took all the abortion pamphlets in the office and threw them away later!! It was great sneak-age, heh…

Anyway, the baby is beautiful, and the Ultrasound was so amazing. If you’re going to get an Ultrasound–you should check if you can get a 4-D, because they’re something else.

I am due for another one in about 6 wks, so by then he should be so very visable and full. YAY!

Now I’m getting ready to switch my PCP from Dr. Kon (who we haven’t seen yet), to a pediatric/family PCP Dr., so I can get a normal check up, and my thyroid checked. The OB/GYN office visit (which was great except for the “poking” part *shiver*) had about 6 vials of blood taken for tests, and the specialist Dr. told us that my Thyroid is indeed under-active, and so I need to get on meds for it, cause it can harm the baby. So hopefully I get that taken care of soon.

So that’s the latest update!
