A bit of a scare.....

Tuesday night/Wednesday morning around midnight I woke up and had to go to the bathroom and found much blood when I finished. Tim rushed me to the hospital where they ran many tests, we were there until nearly 4am. They didn’t know what was making me bleed but we did hear baby’s heartbeat so they sent me home. I wasn’t in any pain so that was a blessing!

Wednesday morning when we finally woke up we called my OB and they said to get into the office as soon as I could, that they would do an ultrasound and see how the baby was. We got there within the hour and had the ultrasound done, baby appears to be doing just fine, heart-rate was good and everything else looked just perfect! I have a pocket of blood and they do not know why or how it happened. The doctor said it is nothing that I could have done to cause it. The doc told me to take it easy and have no physical activity, only stairs when I have to and no walking. I cannot even lift clothes out of the washer and put into the dryer. Cannot lift anything heavier than a gallon of milk. (Tim won’t even let me do that much.) Can't go to the grocery store because that is too much walking So I was at home laying down the past two days.


I decided I couldn’t take it anymore and came back to work today. The doc said that was fine as long as I sat most of the day and didn’t move around too much. I told her that I wouldn't - and she said as long as I took the elevator and Tim would drop me off at the front door, she was ok with me going back to work.

Tim has been so wonderful taking care of me. He is not letting me do anything - and is really watching over me. Thanks to God for sending me such a wonderful man!!! The kiddos are being quite good too, helping when I ask and bringing me stuff. I am so blessed to have such a great family!

I have an ultrasound to check on baby next Wednesday, so I will have more news by then at least. In the meantime, if you could send a few thoughts/prayers our way, we would really appreciate them!
