These last few weeks have been stressful at work - My fingerprint saga continues. It all started in August (8/2), when I got my fingerprints done for my employer and the state board. I applied for state licensure mid August (when we got back from Maui), and was not allowed to contact the state licensure board until 5 weeks after submitting the application. When I contacted them, I was informed that they had never received my fingerprints. MANY, many phone calls later, I found that the fingerprints had cleared and had been sent to the wrong organization. The ones to my employer, however, had been processed. Which is nice, but doesn't allow me to work with children in the state of California. So, last week, I went to get fingerprinted for the FOURTH time. A phone call this week showed that my fingerprints had not been run for some reason, so they are being manually run, which means that it may take 2-4 more weeks to get fingerprint clearance! I hope they are this thorough with all people who work with children...
Anyways, all with the baby is well so far. We met with the doctor this week and she seems nice and competent. We have decided not to find the gender of the baby, and not to get the screening tests. I dont really want the stress of false positives, the risk of amniocentesis (SP?), etc. We will get an anatomical ultrasound in about 3-4 weeks. This should rule out most obvious anatomical defects. They will look at internal organs, and bony structure.
Hopefully, the next post will be better.

Still reading! We've gone through our share of bureaucratic problems with Gillette here. Ani's wheelchair had been at Gillette for about a month before we could get it. This dept. had to make this thing for it, another dept. had to make another, and another dept. had to get the appointments set to measure it. They also started her on a med that had to be taken orally (internet says it clogs G-tubes), huh.
