An Eventful Monday!!!

Well I woke up this morning to brown spotting. Spotting is something NO pregnant woman wants to see for oh..... about 9 months. I first called my boss (who does not know yet that we are expecting). I simply told him that I had a very personal medical issue that I needed to deal with this morning. He politely asked that I spare him the details and take the time I need. Phew... Then I had to wait 2 1/2 hours for the doctor's office to open. I am sure I woke up Laci in panic, blowing up her phone but she responded quickly and as usual calmed me way down.

8:30 finally rolled around and I called the doc. To ease my mind they let me come in at 10am for an U/S. I was all by myself because, while DH would have preferred to be there, it was too short notice for him to bail on inventory on a Monday morning... I have never been so nervous in my life. While waiting for the office to open I must have went to the bathroom every 10 minutes to make sure that the spotting had stopped or at least not gotten worse. Then it hit me that I probably needed a full bladder for this appointment. So I downed a 32 ounce Gatorade on the way to the doc so my bladder was more than full. I was very nervous because when they did the ultrasound from the abdomen I saw nothing but a bunch of black empty areas. I immediately thought... Not another blighted ovum...

She sent me in to do a urine sample and relieve my bladder so she could to the vaginal u/s. It seemed to take forever for her to find my little bean. Ok... It was only like 3 seconds but it felt like an eternity! She then pointed out the cutest little flicker I have ever seen and told my that my baby looks perfect and his/her little heart was beating away at 125 BPM. WHAT A RELIEF...

Well... I decided that since I already told my boss that I had needed time for a personal medical issue that I would make a day of it. I went home and I SLEPT all afternoon until it was time to go get Hannah from Tae Kwon Do...

I am feeling much better now. Seeing that little babies heartbeat made a world of difference and low and behold, the spotting has stopped.

I will try to post pics of the U/S but I am still getting used to this blogspot stuff :)
