You are just one of those people!

I woke up on Tuesday morning to a pool of blood and another scare. I was planning on working all morning and then flying out to return home for my grandpa's funeral. Instead I stayed in bed and called my Dr as soon as her office opened to schedule an emergency visit. I had my third ultrasound and the babies heartbeat was strong. The said that the placenta was really low, about an inch from my cervix. They said it should move up by itself but if it doesn't I will be having a c-section. The Dr said the bleeding was from not only the location of the placenta and but the place that was causing me to spot earlier in my pregnancy was finally bleeding out. The Dr also said I was just going to be a bleeder so not to compare myself with any of my friends because things were going to be different for me. She told me some signs to watch for and said that everything else looked great. She said to continue to rest and not to lift anything heavier than a milk jug. A friend and I have been working on a baby registry. A few of my girlfriends are throwing me an online baby shower so that those of you who can't come to my shower can still participate. There will be more details to come on that.

12 Weeks and Growing

12 Weeks and Counting

I am just around the corner from the second trimester and I couldn't be more excited. The morning sickness is getting better. I am no longer sick all day just mornings or just evenings. I will definitely be glad when that part is gone altogether. Although, I have such a week stomach and and am so sensitive to smell, I have this feeling that my days of hugging the throne are far from over. The other day I stepped on a bug and that got my stomach in a knot and some of the foods that people eat at work really make me nauseated. I won't see the doctor again until Sept 26th but I am looking forward to it already. My belly is getting a little bigger each week. I am going to try to post pictures at the end of every month.
