So only a few days after my seven weeks post I began spotting. I'd never experienced anything like that and I was terrified! Of course it didn't happen until 10:30 at night and wasn't enough to warrant a trip to the hospital. So I was at the doctor's office shortly after they opened the following morning. My doctor was out of town and I had to be worked in to see another doctor in the practice. After a physical exam and sonogram we were relieved to see a healthy baby with perfect heartbeat. There is no explanation as to why I was bleeding and the doctor informed me that it could continue for a week. So this is the end of that week and I'm still spotting. No other symptoms to speak of and hopefully it will stay that way. I'll see my doctor in either two or four weeks depending on my symptoms. For the first time in the short pregnancy I'm happy to feel like crap because that confirms that I'm still pregnant. Never thought I'd be happy to have nausea and vomiting. I must say that this experience has reinforced how much I want this pregnancy and how much I want to enjoy every moment I have left with Makenzie as an only child. I know that our lives are going to change dramatically over the next few months and especially when the child is born. I want so much to relish every moment with her and reinforce that she's not being replaced. I know she is going to be such a big helper, a great big sister, and I look forward to the bond between her and her sibling.
I am believing in God that this pregnancy is going to continue safely. If it doesn't, He will be with me through it.
