Scary Night





Yesterday starting off being a great day. I finished my shopping, wrapped presents, then Chris and I went to look at Christmas lights.Then we got home and I went to the restroom and noticed I was bleeding. We called the doctor and she said she would get me in first thing in the morning, not to worry. Well, being first time parents this was not a good enough answer. So Chris an I went to the emergency room. When we got there the bleeding got more heavy. I was in tears! I didn't feel any pain at all, I was just very worried about my baby! When we finally got into the room they did an ultrasound and my baby's heart was beating and the baby was moving like crazy. My prayers were answered and I realized how much I love this baby that I have never even meet. All I wanted was for my baby to be OK and the baby is. My blood pressure was almost 200 from the stress and they did some blood work to find out that I was A negative blood type. I was losing alot of blood so they gave me my Rh immune shot. 5 hours later after my blood pressure went down we got to go home.
I went to my OBGYN today for a follow-up.Everything looked great. All of my tests were normal and the baby was on the move again. The baby was waving at us letting mommy and daddy know it is OK. Chris and I immediately broke down seeing the precious angel. The doctor says my placenta is just bleeding and it is rare, but normal. Thank god!! She told me to get lots of rest and take it easy. I am so happy and relieved that everything is OK. The experience made me remember to be thankful for all the wonderful things in my life(husband, baby, family,and friends. I hope all of you have a great Christmas!! I got some pictures of the baby!!

Tina, that is soooo scary but I am glad everything is ok. It does remind us though how much we love the tiny baby before we even meet it. Your bond will continue to get stronger the further along you are. You will be in my prayers. Just stay strong and TAKE IT EASY - trust me...being on bedrest sucks but it is worth making the baby ok!
