After last tuesday's initial blood test, they found that I had abnormal blood cells. They needed me to go back again for another blood test to ascertain whether I was a Thalassamia carrier - this could pass on to my child.
I was upset because I felt helpless about this. I felt I was diseased because i had a 'blood disorder' although the websites says it IS NOT a blood disorder.
Anyway, the nurse just called again this morning. They still cannot ascertain if I was iron deficient or anemic. So they are going to start me on iron pills. I guess no news is sort of good news. I think I might be iron deficient because I don't really get the symptoms of anemia.
Well... Ezra is 16 weeks now and growing steadily.

It's EZRA!
The doc showed us his 'wee wee' today :)
Sort of knew it was a boy... mother's instincts :)
Had yicky blood test today. It hurts! Ouch! Thankfully nurse says it is the first and last blood test. I really hope they don't poke me with stuff during the delivery. I think I fear needles/poking more than giving birth. But I think I will change my mind when Ezra is halfway out.
Ok, time for some shopping! My clothes are bursting and we need some manly stuff for Ezra.
P/S:I can't figure this pix out. Think the head is on the right, and body on left...

Week 14
I've been using the pregnancy as an excuse to eat - any amount, any time of the day, anything I wanna eat. Life is good! (just hope I don't put on too much weight by my next gynae appointment!)
Making out a list of the things I will need... alot of stuff! So I hope the kind people who loves me will make some contributions - heh.
Had an interesting chat with Sis Elizabeth today... she asked me to have a mental picture of how I want my family to be. I also need to think of how I want my children to be; physically, spiritually, talents, etc. I also had to think of how I should be teaching my child, disciplining, etc. Wow, lots to think about! Think it will really help when the time comes... So I hope to get down to doing this thinking soon so I can prepare myself fully.
