then i started noticing the number growing day by day. ha! that's what nana's are for. mia has been talking a lot lately. especially on the phone. i can understand about 1/3 of what she is saying but, that's okay. her favorite word is "no" now. everything i ask her to do is a "no" even if she wants to do it. like going to the beach, she loves it now. especially since nana took her out there to watch the sunset several evenings. now i try to do the same as often as i can. <br /><br />not much else has changed. we are still just enjoying our simple life out here. i thank God every time i think about it because i am so much happier now and so is my little girl. we are planning a trip home for the end of september. mark those calendars! i will post something again soon. until then, mia says "no!"amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13510229622775740956noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2312506628833269346.post-35923137736000760122008-07-30T21:54:00.000-07:002008-07-30T22:13:33.335-07:00good news<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3kPUrKIzbP_VcazKKYS-wUILKphhurEmuC-i4gxKCE8FkSB0kfAy1BS5whfZfRo8Nu_AyHHRpql4Vs2lshEefeG0QBok4cCOSIvKJDvphmpiYssK6MFWou3sJZVFvRHwMrcsNvAWCd06V/s1600-h/miamorning.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3kPUrKIzbP_VcazKKYS-wUILKphhurEmuC-i4gxKCE8FkSB0kfAy1BS5whfZfRo8Nu_AyHHRpql4Vs2lshEefeG0QBok4cCOSIvKJDvphmpiYssK6MFWou3sJZVFvRHwMrcsNvAWCd06V/s200/miamorning.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229041559675690626" /></a><br />i got some good news this evening...mia's second set of labs came back completely normal. in fact, she even tested negative for hepatitis c this time. so basically that means she might not have even hepatitis c at all. the doctor said she may have tested positive the first time because her mother's antibodies may still be in her system. they want to retest her at 2 and 3 years old and see what those results look like. she did not want to get my hopes up but, i am SO relieved. just to know that my baby does not have hiv and to know that she has a good chance of not even having hepatitis c...i am ecstatic!

we've been through our first earthquake. we are fine. we live about 40 miles away from the epicenter. i was rocking <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">mia</span> to sleep for her afternoon nap when the house started shaking. at first i thought there was someone in the closet (childhood flashback!)...then i thought there was a work crew doing some heavy duty work outside...then it was over. all i could really think about during this time was, whatever is going on it better not wake up <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">mia</span>! i just got the rat to sleep! it was not until i went downstairs and saw my cell phone, which had a text from <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">jeff</span> asking if i was okay that i realized what had happened. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">jeff</span>, you win. you were the first to check on me. who would have guessed architect's office was so up on things! mom, you were a close second! ;) so anyway. we are fine. i have talked to a few friends, and they had much more dramatic experiences. especially those who work in a high rise building. anyway. life goes on. overall, i don't think it was a big deal. but, the news would probably like you to think otherwise. i am enjoying all of the live interviews though. lots of people with plastic surgery, many foreigners, government workers trying to take the rest of the day off...<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">haha</span>!
