Our First Scare

Well Friday night after the Ultrasound while Chris and I were relaxing I discovered some spotting. Of course we went into panic mode and starting researching everything we could to see how serious it was and if we should go to the emergency room since the doctors office was closed. After about 30 minutes of searching for information we finally decided it was best that we head to the hospital just to be on the safe side. We went a little further out of the way to a emergency room that usually isn't that busy but on a Friday night everywhere will be crazy so we had about an hour and a half wait before we were even officially checked in. But once that happened things started to move along fairly fast. Once in the room and the doctor arrived we immediately felt better. He was a pretty good doctor (or doctor's assistant, these days who knows). We told him the situation and about the previous miscarriage (happened to be the same emergency room that I went to the last time) and he was very sincere and sympathetic and did everything he could to help ease our minds and hearts. He said they usually don't do this but he knew it would help us out so he skipped all the preliminary stuff and wheeled in one of those portable ultrasound machines to check on the baby. I couldn't see the screen but within seconds Chris was able to see the baby and see the little flutter of a heart beat still going strong. Afterwards we still went ahead and did all the other tests just in case but we knew everything else was fine. After talking to the doctor it seems that more then likely what happened was some left over spotting from the pep smear we had done on Tuesday. I thought it was way to long for anything to be left but since the cervix was still completely closed and no fresh blood present he thought we would be just fine. So here we are now relaxing and leaving it all in God's hands. This is His baby.

Peace Out,
