Today I Freaked Out
Ok I freaked out this morning when I saw more blood and a slight colour change in it! I called the doctor’s office and they squeezed me in this afternoon.
While waiting for afternoon to come, I cried off & on thinking about how badly I do not want to lose this baby, how attached I am already to the lil guy/girl….Then I turned my focus on our precious daughter. We played and talked and played some more. It was a wonderful morning. After lunch when it was time for nap, I decided to take the plunge and try Becca’s big bed!!! Becca is such a great kid. She cried a little, and I laid next to her till she totally zonked out. It was so adorable looking at her in such a big bed! And she slept for over 2 hours! (ofcourse we had an appointment this afternoon, therefore she MUST sleep longer than usual 
). J totally thought I was crazy with everything going on, to add yet another thing to the mix. But it helps to focus my energy on Becca rather than my fears and heartbreak.
So Becca totally slept till the last possible moment Then we cruised over and picked up J. We had a wait at the OB’s but I expected that since he squeezed me in to see him. Finally we see the OB. He was so awesome. He tried forever to hear the heartbeat and kept reassuring us that it is totally normal not to hear the heartbeat this early. Then he checked my cervix and sounded all happy and said my cervix was bleeding. I was a little confused but then he went on to say the cervix part was a good thing since it is not the uterus or baby that is in trouble. So YAY! My cervix is bleeding. So to be sure that I am not having a miscarriage he sent me to have my hormone levels tested. So I went this afternoon and gave blood then in 48 hours I will go again and give blood. If the pregnancy is ok, my hormones should be close to double in that 48 hours. We also have the Ultrasound on Friday that should tell us more. The doctor was very optimistic though and that made us feel a lot better. I was sad that we did not hear the heartbeat, but relieved that by the end of the week we should know more. Doctor said I can resume all activities except sex (ugh), so at least the dishes will not be haunting me while I sleep anymore

Whew…. I’m so sorry you had a scare like that.
The no sex thing is quite common. I had to abstain for 3 months when pg with Nate.
Can’t wait to hear about your ultrasound on friday!!!
Awesome on the big bed!!! We’re just going to be trying Nate in his big bed shortly. I hope he does as well as Becca.

Yeah! I had a feeling everything was okay. My doctor said 14 weeks is the earliest they can usually year a heartbeat and if they hear it before that it’s a fluke. Good luck with the rest of the tests and keep us posted (like there’s any doubt…)
Have a great day and enjoy washing dishes!!

[...] from his crib. We had great success with Becca, making that transition early, when she was about 16 months she started to sleep on her bed for naps then she made the decision to sleep in a bed from 17 months on. I was talking with another [...]
