SO, the day started off great! Malcolm and I watched two little girls from church. We played all morning and then their mom came to get them. I then went to the restroom and my terrible thursday began~(this is not for the faint of heart) I looked down and all I saw was blood. This is not good when you are almost 14 weeks pregnant. I panicked! I have had some problems with spotting through out this pregnancy, but this took the cake. I was home alone with Malcolm, Johnny was at school and everyone I knew was at work or out of town. I called my Father-in-law who I remembered was home and through my tears, asked him to come watch Malcolm. I then called the doctors office and they said, get the to ER! That scared me. She told my I couldnt drive so call 911 or get someone to drive me. I got a hold of my mom , who thankfully had the day off work and she hurried over to get me. Johnny finally called from school and sped home. My mom and I went to the ER where I was sent to a room, hooked up to an IV and was terrified that we had lost our little baby. It seemed like hours of time went by. The ER doc ordered an ultrasound which of course took forever to come. Finally they came with the tech and two students. Who do they put on duty, a student! I am fine with a teaching hospital but I wanted a professional! ( she ended up doing a great job). No one said anything to me for the first ten min. I couldn't see the screen so I was trying to read my moms face. She is a Labor and Delivery nurse so I was sure she could tell what was going on. Finally I said frantically, IS THE BABY MOVING?! Yes they said. I think I let out the biggest sigh in history. There was my baby, growing ahead of schedule, kicking and looking at its momma. I can't tell you the relief Johnny and I felt. The ER doc came back (after an hour) and said they arent sure what is causing the bleeding. I am to not lift anything heavy, drink tons of water! and take it easy. I appreciate the prayers of those who knew what was happening. I ask for everyones continued prayers for this little baby and our family. I am confident I will have this child. I know they are supposed to be here in our family. I thank my Heavenly Father for watching over us and know he has a hand in guiding our lives. Here is a picture of Malcolm, just because! ( I know its a repeat but he is so dang cute!)
