Once again your prayers are needed!!

When will this worry stop?? I'm guessing it never will. Everything had been going pretty good the last few days...no spotting. Then last night before bed when I went to the bathroom there was some really dark spotting. When I woke up this morning it was there again. Please pray for us. I really think your prayers have helped us thus far!! We go in tomorrow for an ultrasound. Please pray that our baby looks good. Thank you so much!

weekend/question

This has been a pretty good weekend. Once a month 12 of my friends and I get together at someone's house (we alternate) and eat dinner, gossip, and play cards. It's REALLY fun. Sometimes we get so into talking to each other that we skip the card playing. Friday was our monthly get together. It was really fun to see everyone because I missed last month because of the transfer. One of my friends is also an IF girl. It was good to see her because I haven't seen her since she got a belly. She is 17 weeks pregnant and I'm so happy for her!! Everyone went "out" after and it felt so good to go home to my hubby because I'm pregnant and can't go out!!
Saturday we had our nieces 4th birthday party. She was so excited because she got her ears pierced. She looked sooo cute!! After the party Brandon and I went to dinner.
Today I got to see my brother for about 1 hour. He was home for a conference. Then my mom and I went to church. After church we came home and cooked lunch. Brandon and I came home after lunch and watched a movie "Felon". I love vegging out on Sunday's...so relaxing!!

I have one question for you girls...I had some "twitching" in my lower belly around lunch. It lasted for about 30 minutes. When Brandon and I came home it happen again for 10 minutes. It kind of freaked me out. Is that normal?? Since the baby is only the size of a small grape I know I can't feel it moving...what is happening?? If you know could you please leave a comment!! Thanks. I hope everyone had a great weekend!!

PRAISE GOD!!!

I'm so sorry that it took me so long to update. All I have to say is PRAISE GOD. I have never been so worried. I had A LOT of bleeding. I'm going to go in detail because I was looking for blogs that talked about this. I went to the bathroom last night and there was a lot of blood...think a little more than 2nd day of AF. It made the toilet water pink. I was terrified!! Brandon is so logical and levelheaded...he told me don't worry about it, the baby is fine. I tried not to and went to sleep. I woke up at 3 and went to the bathroom and it was the exact same thing again. I couldn't go back to sleep. I went to the bathroom around 3 more times and it was the same thing. (There was only a small clot the first time I went to the bathroom..the rest was bleeding ranging from bright pink to dark red). I left a message on the doctor's voicemail. They called me back at 7:15 and told me to come in. We got there about 9 (Brandon was at work and we live 50 min away). Brandon told me I had nothing to worry about the entire ride there. We went into the ultrasound room and the nurse asked me exactly how much bleeding there was. She said that it was probably vanishing twin syndrome since we had seen a two sacs last week but only 1 heartbeat.
The doctor came in and told me not to worry. As soon as he put the probe in he said that's a STRONG HEARTBEAT. That was music to my ears. He looked all around and didn't see another sac and said that my body was probably getting rid of that empty sac. When I sat up I told him to tell Brandon that it is normal to worry. As I said that I busted out crying. The doctor gave me a talk (most of it I don't remember). He said that if someone called about bleeding and then he did an ultrasound my result was textbook at what you would want to see. That he wouldn't "bullshit" me. That I needed to relax and let Brandon do more. (Brandon said he only told me that to make me laugh...that he didn't really mean it;) He told me to keep my appointment on Wednesday so that I could remain sane;) I'm so very thankful for everyone's prayers and for God's blessing today. I feel so blessed. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU GOD!!!
I wanted to go home and rest but we had an appointment with a tax lady and it was the ONLY day that she could see us so we went and it took like 5 hours!!! I'm finally on the couch, where I wanted to be all day long!
Thanks again for the prayers...it REALLY means a lot!

I've NEVER needed your prayers more...

I've never needed your prayers more. Last night before bed I experienced bleeding. It was enough to make the water in the toilet red. It scared me to death. I was a little better before bed because both times that I went to the bathroom there was hardly anymore. I'm up at 3:00 am because I woke up to go to the bathroom and it was the same thing again. I'm so scared that I'm going to lose my baby. Please pray for us.

Thank you, thank you, thank you God!!

We had our ultrasound this morning. I was SOOOO nervous...my heart was beating so fast!!! The doctor came in and told me that if they didn't see a heartbeat not to worry about it since you don't always see one at 6 weeks. He then started the ultrasound and immediately found one baby and told me to hold my breath to see if he could see a heartbeat. When I did there was a tiny tiny flicker and he told me that was the heartbeat!!! I was sooooo excited. He kept looking for awhile which I thought was unusual. Then he said I think I saw another sac and Brandon said "I saw that too and I was waiting for you to say something!" He then said that there was definately one and it could possibly be 2 but he wouldn't know until next week. Brandon and I hugged and kissed after I got dressed. Praise God...I'm so thankful right now!! We go back next Wednesday for another ultrasound!!

After the ultrasound we walked to the hospital next door to see my friend who had a baby yesterday. She was induced at 6:30 yesterday morning. By 8:30 last night I finally left the hospital because I was exhausted. At 9:30 they called and said that they were going to have to do a c-section because she hadn't progressed in a few hours. She finally had her beautiful baby girl at 11:24. I'm sooo happy for her!! I hope everyone has a wonderful day!!
