Hello everyone! I'm here to update again! More 'fun' news on the pregnancy front! Started bleeding this weekend which as ya'll probably know, isn't good, so first thing Tuesday I called the Dr. and they quickly called back and had me get my butt back in there again, for another sonogram. My mom took me and it was slightly bigger than last time but not much, I was only in like a week ago lol. But things look fine and I got to hear the heartbeat loud and clear this time which was amazing! They don't however know what's going to happen, I may just be a person who bleeds and goes to full term with a healthy baby or it could miscarry at any time, they have no way of knowing. Which sucks yes, but what can you do? The sad part is I'm only 6 1/2 weeks along and I've already been to the Dr. about 7 times for various tests and poking and prodding. It doesn't bode (sp?) well but who knows. I also still have to be super careful what I do, I'm not on bed rest but can't do a lot of things. I'm trying to remain optimistic but at the same time reasonable, if it doesn't work I don't want to spiral into depression. I've handled it well thus far though so yay me! lol

Anyway, I've been reading everyones journals lately but I just haven't known what to say whether it's good or bad. My mind just isn't working, I like to leave encouraging words or even a joke, but it's just not there! But my thoughts are with all of you rain or shine.

Until next time!

Hey, Bandy.  Maybe I can ease your mind a little about the bleeding.  I was told this several times over the years.  My mother had a "period" every month while she was carrying me.  Because of that, she didn't even know she was pregnant until she was around five months along.  She said that one time, she bled heavily.  I was born three weeks late (they won't let you go that long now), and I weighed close to nine pounds.  Just wanted to ease your mind some and let you know that my thoughts are with you.
