The Best Things

Wednesday, we found out that I am 8 weeks pregnant and due February 9th, 2011. It was a crazy and stressful day since the night before I started spotting. We had to wait and wait, of course. I had my blood work done, my TB test, they tried to do a Doppler and hear the heart beat but we couldn't and when the doctor did the pap smear she said she was concerned about the amount of bleeding she was seeing so she made an appointment for us to go have an ultrasound that day to make sure the baby wasn't in the wrong spot. Which of course sent me into panic mode. Poor Dustin had to go to work so Margie came back with me to see the radiologist. After all the crazy waiting  Margie and I got to see this little spot and found out that I was 8 weeks along to the day, and that the heart beat was 150 bpm. Luckily after seeing the doctor she cancelled the appointment for the following week and said that I could schedule an appointment for 2 weeks later. But I am not allowed to work, and I am on bed rest. It took a couple of resting days but I am now not spotting anymore. So hopes are up, despite my high risk. I quit smoking, am faithfully taking my prenatal vitamins, I am not lifting or anything, I am trying to eat right and take all precautions. We started looking at 3 bedroom apartments since we are going to need a bigger place soon. I am trying to keep a cool and calm head since I get sooo excited just thinking about a baby's room. Its hard to be logical when the most important dream in your life is coming true. But I truly feel blessed, and I am not taking a single day for granted.

So I am sitting inside, relaxing this 4th of July. And I am completely okay with it. I may take a nap and finish my book. I am going to be doing quite a lot of reading at this rate :)

Happy 4th of July!!! Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday.
