Tuesday Sept 16th

Boy its been a while since I wrote on this blog. Sorry it took so long. Things are good with us. Last week was a very interesting week. Tim left on Sunday for a tdy trip. Monday went fine and then when I woke up on Tuesday morning we had a problem. Sorry if it gets a little graphic but I started bleeding at about 5am that morning. Of course Jess freaked out!!!! Spent most of the morning crying uncontrollably. Tim called to say good morning around 7am and he finally got me calmed down enough to think logically. So, I called work and said I was not coming in and headed off to see Dr. Servy at 8am. I got checked out and Dr. Servy said that the placenta had pulled away from the uterus a tiny bit. And because the placenta is so vascular some of the blood vessels burst causing the bleeding. He did an ultrasound and the baby was fine but you could see where the blood was in the uterus. So, with that and this being such a special pregnancy he put me on bed rest for the rest of the week. I then spent the next 4 days going out of my mind. I also had an appointment on Friday with my regular obgyn Dr. Waxman. Of course she had no idea we were pregnant. So, I had to run through all the battery of test and blood work again. She also checked things out and said both the baby and i were fine. She still wanted me to spend the next two weeks on bed rest, but I talked with her and am trying to work half days until I see her again on the 26th. I am still taking it easy and not doing any heavy lifting. In fact Tim is very cautious of what I do at home. I must say I was very happy to see tim on Friday afternoon!!!! So, for right now the bleeding has stopped and I am taking it easy. It was just really hard to have that experience and to be alone. I think I would have reacted differently if Tim had been home. Anyways, things are back to normal now and the great news is that the baby is healthy and we are now in our 12th week!!! Yea for 3 months!!!!!
