Approved

The word "approved" just makes you excited, doesn't it? People always seek approval for the most part, whether in action or for something they want like a loan. I got a call from the Perinatal office this morning and on the message was, "You have been approved for a consult with our office..." I got excited--for a second. And then the realization hit that I was approved because my records that were faxed over from my OB/GYN were worthy enough of a perinatologist. I didn't even think there was a question of approval, but when she put it that way, it was a little sad. However, I totally have my hopes up that with the extra attention of a specialist, I can have a normal pregnancy. Or maybe the psychological factor of having a person paying a lot of attention to a pregnancy makes me feel comforted. Heck, maybe he'll have some more ideas of test that be be run. So I have my consult with the specialist Feb. 10. I'm looking forward to hearing the plan of action.
