Fragmented Fridays
Fear and worry are physically exhausting. I spent a week fearing that the baby I’m carrying might not have any kidneys. I felt spent and tired. Fortunately, this Monday, I got some encouraging news; it looks like there is one kidney. One kidney is enough to live. Do you know the song “One”? It goes […]
My Mother Just Makes Stuff Up
My mother has a way of making everything just a little more interesting. She is not a chismosa (gossip), but she has a way of making things sound more chisme-worthy. I would not say that she is a liar (because she really believes the things that come out of her mouth), but I would advise […]
Encouraging News…
I went in for the follow-up ultrasound today to check up on my amniotic fluid level and to see if any kidneys could be detected on the baby. Right before I left the house, I grabbed my journal and wrote, “I think the news will be good.” The news was good, not great, but good. […]

I Want…
I want to wake up and find out that this was all just a bad pregnancy-induced dream. I want to go back for my follow-up ultrasound on Monday and see a baby swimming in an abundant pool of amniotic fluid. I want the technician and the doctor to look at me with huge smiles on […]
I Feel…
I feel this baby moving inside of me and it pains me to think that this might be the only contact I ever have with my child. I feel lucky and blessed to have one healthy and beautiful child that I can hold in my arms, but somehow that does not lessen the pain of […]
Horrible News…
My world feels like it has come to a screeching halt. I am 17 weeks pregnant. I went to the doctor today for an ultrasound and an amniocentesis. The news was NOT good. It appears that my child has not developed kidneys. A person can not live without kidneys. I will go back in a […]
