Ready for the Dr. Visit in AM

I just wanted to let everyone know that I will be heading to the dr. at 8 am to find out what exactly is going on. I'm having so many mixed emotions, as there is way to much information online to dig into! The good thing is that I have only passed 1 clot and that was at the hospital before they did the u/s, so hopefully my lil peanut is still doing good. I am determined to leave there with a due date! However, I have come to accept the other end of the pole, if it's God will that the baby go with him now, then thats how it is! =) I have good spirits though as I don't think I've been bleeding heavy enough to lose the baby (TMI) but thats a personal opinion and when I get home from the dr. I will post so everyone will be updated!

Please continue to pray for us!

Emergency Room

On Wed. afternoon I started spotting, and I thought it was due to stress. Well I called my Dr and they ordered my in to do a hCG. They called me back, said it was around 8000. Along this time, I'm thinking I'm 7 weeks. Now enter Thursday afteroon. I am still continueing to spot, so as soon as my DH got home from the ball game that he played in (no I didn't go because i "knew" i didn't need to be on my feet)I told him we need to go to the ER NOW. We get there I explained to the lady what was going on, and while we sat FOREVER waiting to go back, I had to pee and a clot came out. YES, I FREAKED!!! They finally called us back, she took urine sample and bloodwork (my poor arm) and we waited. By this time, we are there 4 HOURS. The dr. came in and said my count was around 8000 (I really would like the REAL number here). They wanted to do a pelvic exam and an ultrasound. SOOO, they had to call the On-Call u/s tech to come in. She couldn't tell me anything about the baby hence it was an emergency u/s. She did that, gave it to the Radiologist, and then the dr. looked at em. Then she came in and said. "Pam, you have a 6 week 3 day old baby in there". I finally got a True day, because i had been guessing. Well... she said my body is trying to terminate the PG. I dont' really feel this is the case, but thats what she said. Like i told my DH, I did the same thing with my daughter 12 years ago, when i found out i was PG with her. She turned out fine. Well, they put me on bedrest, lots of fluid, no exercise, and keep off my feet except to the bathroom. I feel very positive about it though. because like i said i refuse to lose this baby that i want soo much. So i need lots of prayers, AGAIN!! The Lord has been very good to me, and I really don't think he'd let me down now.

Thanks for all your cares, prayers, and concerns!

Have a good week!

SCARE

I had a very stressful day on yesterday. Both kids brought home a "short form" and I also got a letter in the mail on my daughters attendance. Well.. this caused me to STRESS!! After I tore up my kids, YES i believe the belt was invented for another reason than the pants, I went to pee. well, when I wiped I had a lil blood there. can you say FREAK OUT!!! I paid attention to the time, and all that good stuff. I went to bed early, so I would not stress out anymore. Well, when I woke up today, again, the "spots" i'll call em were there only when I peed. SOO i called the dr. and had bloodwork drawn. my hCG's are in the normal range for the 7 weeks that i am! THANK goodness.. BUT i have to go back on monday to get more blood drawn.. UGH!! I hope this is not what this PG gonna do to me.. but at the same time, i "know" i am FINE!! =) just thought i'd pass a lil note to let ya'll know what is going on with me.. yes I need to

To Tell or Not To Tell... THAT is the question!

OK.. lets see if I can explain this one to where all my bloggy buddies can understand. Those that "know" me, know that my biological dad and I are not close, at all. My step-dad raised me, but I call him Daddy. OK, with that being said. A LONG time ago, my hubby and I were talking to my "real dad" and step-mom about us wanting kids, well... they do not think we need kids of our own. (Remember, my hubby didn't have any before we met.) We went through the surgery, did not tell my dad that we were having it, in fact he never knew I was at home for 6 weeks! strange, I know. Well, now that I have a peanut, I think I need to tell him before I see him at Christmas, and I don't know how to do it. Because, I'm afraid he will be disappointed in the fact that we didn't follow what HE thought WE should do. (Yes, he is that way) I called him on his birthday, July 3rd, and have not heard from him since. Any advice on this will be greatly appreciated! I know he needs to know, but want to make everyone happy at the same time!
THANKS!!!

state of shock!

I'm still in a daze! Waiting for reality to sink in! Like, I keep going to the bathroom waiting for AF to show, but hopes she still doesn't at the same time! Yes, I'm weird! But still sooo very excited!
My children have started calling the lil one... "lil buddy".. LOL! and I call it "peanut".
I just wanted to put some random thoughts out there, so I can reread this one day!
October 2nd, can NOT get here fast enough, as I am sooo ready to see my doctors face when I tell him why I am there!!!
Still continue to pray for us, AND thanks for your prayers..
Leigh
