Meeting with Dr. Belfort

we met with the lead surgeon who is going to do any of the procedures that i may have done.  his name is dr. belfort.  he is from south africa and kind of reminds us of harrison ford.  he was very nice and scanned my belly for about 40 minutes so he could map out how he would do the procedure.  he used words like "incredible" and "unbelievable".  he looked at the girls cord insertion sites to see where he could go in and separate the blood vessels in the placenta.  he looked at the position of my placenta, which if you've watched the video i'm that person who has the anterior placenta which makes it extremely difficult to perform the operation.  he told us that it would be a very tricky procedure due to how eden's cord runs along the placenta and the position of my placenta.  he told me that we should be thankful that we haven't had to do the procedure.  he told us he would have to go in through eden's sac, which he doesn't want to do.  so we are going to hope that we don't have to have it done.  our last day to do it is pretty much tomorrow, so we're hoping for the best.  we then got talking about winter and how we are from utah.  he then tells us that he had lived in park city for the last 13 years and that utah is the greatest place to live in the world.  we tend to agree.  he and nick got talking about airplanes, seeing as how dr. belfort owns two planes.  nurse laura (whom i love) was like, "ok then lets have a texas children's retreat to utah."  after the appointment, dr. arigoti stayed in the room and said, "my best friends are from utah.  are you lds?"  we told him that we were and he says, "so am i!"  he's been a member for about two years and we were excited to have something in common with one of our team.  we really love all of our doctors and feel that we are so blessed to be among the best there is.  we kind of feel like celebrities when we go to the doctor.  not the best circumstances, but we have felt the personal care from each of the staff members.  we go again tomorrow, for an ultrasound and regular ob appointment.
