Danielle's Experience with Baby Gender Mentor

• Sarah Kate is still Sarah Kate!

  Well friends, you would think after four ultrasounds and many hours looking between the legs of this baby that I would begin to believe that my baby is a girl.....until today I had not. But this day was good and in my heart I am starting to believe what I, and everyone around me, is seeing with their eyes. This baby really is a girl.....my sweet Sarah Kate! She showed me her gender in 2d to see the white lines and then in 4D to see for real- there is no Pee-pee!!!! She showed me her precious face and her beautiful smile! She already has hair and I am dying over that! It is one thing for this baby to even be a girl, but to be able to actually take a tiny bow to the hospital for her hair is something that just makes my heart sing!

• just one more peek...

  It is after midnight so I can officially say that today I will get another (and probably the last one) peek at this baby through 4D ultrasound. I can't wait to see her face and see what she looks like again- and of course to get one more look between her little legs! I am still nervous about the possibility of this baby growing a pee-pee since we last looked, but I'll know later this afternoon......   On a more difficult note, my heart is breaking for Melissa and what she is going through.  I am so upset-I cried and cried jsut reading the post. I can not imagine the pain and saddness she must be feeling right now.....and it hurts also because I am Melissa- our stories are the same and I know that if Dr. Wang tested my blood that he woud tell me the same thing. I don't ever, in a million years, think that he would come back and say that his test is flawed and that all is well with the baby- that would never happen. Something has to be done.

• At the doctor today

  When I walked through the hall today at my OB practice, I saw my OB as I prepared to satnd on the scale-fun, fun!  Anyway, he said he had viewed Sherry's "list" of possible genetic abnormalities and said "he was fired up" about it! I feel so glad that without even having to tell him what I saw on in-gender that he already knows and understands how that would bother me- he is a class act and I feel so happy to have him at the helm of this pregnancy dilema I have found myself in.  I had my three year old with me and he recorded the baby's heart beat onto different boxes and placed them in two different teddy bears- one for each son so that when you squeese the bear you hear the heart beat of their baby sister- it was so special and so thoughtful.  And I love just being able to hug those bears and hear her sweet heart myself- it makes her seem even more real and I really need to feel that reassurance of her presence.  So today was a good day. And it seems like some of the girls are staring to make some headway with refunds from the lab and that is even more good news from today!  Posted Oct 19 2005, 10:40 PM by daisy girl with no comments

• I wish she would leave me alone

  I can't believe Sherry would post such a list of all the terrible things that could be wrong with my baby. It was like ....well I can't even begin to describe how it felt to read the list. I didn't even finish it-the tears welled up and everything got blurry and it all ran together.  She know my heart is broken and here she is stomping on my already fragile heart.  The one thing that I do know is that no matter what I am going to love this baby with all that I am-if there is anything left of me after Sherry gets done.I already do love this baby and in just 10 weks I will be able to hold her.  If only Sherry could just leave me alone for 10 weeks- is that too much to ask?

• It gets more crazy everyday!

  The NPR story that aired today was great- it really said so much just by telling of women who have had amnios be different than the Baby Gender Mentor-it screams "please stay away from this test!" And the classic part was that the couple featured called Sherri Bonelli and asked for a refund and she offered then a retest- just give them their money back and try to do what is right for once! They claimed the whole vanishing twin with this poor couple- the loope hole that will get them out of ever refunding any money.  Such a nice company to not only tell you that you lost a baby,but also you are not getting your money back and thank you for paying $275 to mourn a baby-have a great day.  These people are insane and worse than that have no heart for something as tender as a pregnancy and a baby and families who are sad from their experience with this test- and still they have not once said to these women and these families......I'm sorry.

• My OB appointment today

  I had my regular tummy check today- all was perfect.  A high heart rate in the 150's- good weight gain- low blood pressure- just moving right along. He told me that we will plan to take the baby the week between Christmas and New Years- so now I have a solid slot on the calendar to look to. I craved this information as everything with this pregnancy has been so up in the air. I can not wait to get this baby here and just hold her (I guess she is a she!) and kiss her sweet face!  My OB asked if I could come in for another interview for the local media here on Monday.  I will also get to talk to at least one other person in his practice that is going through the same thing as me- maybe we should form a support group!  The In-gender girls have come to mean so much to me and I wish we could all meet face-to-face.  I can't believe that we are all going through this crazy maddness together!    Posted Oct 05 2005, 09:22 PM by daisy girl with no comments
