Scary tuesday.. and its a......

I was working on tuesday, I sneezed and almost peed my pants. So I went to the bathroom and there was the scariest thing I have ever seen. My underware and pants were full of blood. I left work called the doc. She got me in right away. Brendan was in a class so he wasn't able to come.

The Dr said that I could have a tare in my placenta. They got me in for an ultrasound right away. This was the single most amazing thing in my life so far. I seen the baby kicking and moving all around.. and the verdict is..

ITS A.....

BOY

Well for now.. This was a guess from my doc not the ultrasound tech.. I think the ultrasound tech was new and didnt want to tell me the wrong thing. But as soon as Dr Steinburg seen this she was like "OH looks like your having a boy." we are going to an elective ultrasound on saturday the 9th because I think its important for Brendan to see.

Anyways back to the health issues..... I do have a tare in my placenta, but it is small enough not to worry about things. Im still bleeding a little, not too bad. I am just going to take it easy and relax. Im thinking about stopping work on monday. Im just too stressed with everything. Hopefully this is the right decision.

On a non baby related subject. New years eve was amazing. My life is just where I want it. Brendan and I went to a fantastic dinner, and called it an early night. I took a nap before Brendan woke me up to give me and little baby Braeden our first kiss for the new year. Our life is perfect. I love my boys.. (well we aren't 100% he is a boy, but whatever the result is. I LOVE my baby)

Its been awhile... Week 14.5

I haven't been up for writing lately. Work has been crazy!!! But I thought I should update.. Tomorrow is our 3rd appointment. Im anxious and nervous. This will be the first appointment in the second tri. I just want to hear everything is okay. I think once we hear his/her little heart beat again alot of my fears will go away. Also, I set up the BIG ultrasound. We find out if its a lil Bren or a lil Ash on JANUARY 9th!! Thats only 2 weeks.. I am so excited....

Non-pregnancy related news, I got into Adams State :). I decided I will not work and just go to school full time. I am planning on saving student loan money to pay the bills I have. Eek the thought of only one income coming in is scary but I really don't think I can work and go to school and be pregnant. My life would just seem too much. So hopefully this is the right decision. We will see.

So I will update tomorrow (maybe, no promises) with good news hopefully. I need to start posting more pictures...

11 weeks

This has been the longest week of my life. Started out good, we had the dr appointment and everything seemed to be going okay. Then my mom and sis came for thanksgiving, then Brens dad came. Then I got sick :(. On saturday we went to the ER because I was spotting and had horrible sharp pains and cramps. We spent about 5 hours there and the care was HORRIBLE. It scares me to think that this is the place I am having my baby. Anyways everything is okay, we got to hear the heart beat and even seen the little bean! It was so exciting. It made everything more real. I am on "light duty" so no work again today. I need to call a the doc today to make a follow up appointment. They said I was having a threatened miscarriage. Kinda a scary term but I think I am fine. Bren is on splits this month which makes me happy. Instead of having only three nights a week with him I get to have five nights a week with him

10 weeks and 2nd Appointment

Nothing too exciting to speak of happened at the second appointment. They just talked to me about some of the questions I had. My doctor is AMAZING!! She put my mind at ease and I really am no longer scared of every little thing. She also moved my due date up two days. Thats not too many but hey every little bit counts. I am still really exhausted, my mom, shaun, lucas, and Brigette are coming tomorrow and I have sooooooooo much to do around the house.

Brendan seems really excited. I am so happy he came with me to the doctor, I think it makes it more real. We are starting to tell more people. So far everyone is excited and happy for us, hopefully it stays that way.

TEN WEEKS!! Finally in the double digits. :) 1/4 of the way there. I can't believe next year at this time we will have a five month old baby. CRAZY. Well life is good.

NEXT APPOINTMENT DECEMBER 23rd 2009
