Doctors' Visit

I'm way behind on posting my Geneticist Visit here, but it seems that I never get around to write it. So, here it is.

Back in October, I went to back the geneticist to with my 18 blood test results.
And guess what? They found NOTHING wrong. There was only one of the tests that showed something a little out of the ordinary, but nothing to be concerned according to the geneticist.
It shows that I have a MTHFR gene mutation. But it seems there is no real evidence that the MTFHR mutation has any effect on recurrent miscarriages.

Well, since I'm a little freak when it comes to answers, I made an appointment with a High Risk Pregnancy doctor. It was last Thursday. My appointment lasted over an hour and he looked in all my tests. The answer: it seems that you had two fatalities. But, he suggested that I go and see an hematologist. I already made an appointment for November 29th. And he wants to see me again after this appointment.
But he already said, if the hematologist says there is nothing wrong, he really advises us to start to try again soon.

As for now, only time will tell.

Have a wonderful week!

My birthday in pictures

The place I chose for my birthday was a pizza place, really traditional in São Paulo. The first restaurant opened in 1926 and the place still belongs to the founder's family.
A part from the really traditional pizza recipe, they have the BEST antipasti you can imagine.

Now, a few pictures of the event.

I hope you have a blessed week ; )

Happy Birthday my dear niece

Today is my niece's birthday. She is 04 years old.
She is becoming a really smart, sassy and sharp tongue kid. She is the sweetest and the most strong minded kid I've ever saw (As my Mom says, she is my niece and her granddaughter LOL).

Here is the latest pictures of her being a flower girl last Friday.

Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!!

Happy Birthday to me!!

Today is my birthday. I reached the 3.6 mark.
It is a big number, I feel I accomplished so much until now and I still have so much more to do.
It has been a year of big changes, big life experiences that some of them I wished I didn't have to go through.

It is time for a new cycle and a new year. I am really hoping to be wiser and more experienced in a year from now.

I will celebrate with a few friends tonight and I will be sure to post a few pictures tomorrow!!

Happy Saturday!!!

and Happy Birthday to me!!!

Wordless Wednesday

Before the hair cut
After the hair cut (This is not the best picture of Hubby and Me, but it shows my new hair do :) )

I have to explain myself

** This post is written to my Twilight fellow fans. ***

About 10 days ago, I posted on my twitter, after I watched New Moon, I became a Team Jacob fan and Jenna from Jenna’s Journey replied with a really big NOOOOO. So, I thought I better explain myself.

Let me give you a little background for my decision.

I live in a tropical country, that it is known to be a beach country. Even though we have milder temperatures than the Northeast area of the country, we have pretty high temperatures on 6 months of the year.

I have pretty straight, thin and oily hair. I mean I have to wash my hair every day. If I wash my hair in the morning, and I have an appointment in the evening, I have to get my hair done again.

Now, let’s go back to the point.

If you watched the movie, you can see a really slop teenager Jacob in the begin of the movie. Let me say, he is not my type. As the film progress, he is transformed in a werewolf and the big hair is gone and he has the cutest short hair.

As for Edward, since he is in a depressive mood due to his breakup with Bella, his hair is ALWAYS messed up and it seems that he didn’t have shower in months. And his hair GROSSED ME OUT!!!!

So, the real reason I changed teams it because of Edward hair in the movie. It seems TOO greasy to me : (

I hope you don’t want to breakup our blog/twitter friendship after I confessed this OCD side of me.

Have a happy week.

Miscellany Monday

1. It is November, so it is time to become a good blogger again ; )
2. We had a quiet weekend. Hubby has a major flu that I really hope sticks only with him.
3. This is the last quiet weekend we will have until the end of the month.
4. I am really sad about the results of our Presidential election : (
5. Since my birthday is just 13 days away, I am planning a big hair change to celebrate. Let's see what I will come up;
6. I am reading The Shack and I am in love with the book already;
7. I will have to explain myself later in the weekend, why after I watched New Moon I became a "Team Jacob". And I can assure you, you might want to breakup our blog friendship after you read my reason. Because my husband called me a "Loony Bin", after I explained to him.

I hope you have a great week.
