Yesterday's scary day

Yesterday wasn't a great day. At about 10 AM, David and i were at Target, and i felt a little bit like i had urinated myself. We went home and yes, i had kind of gushed blood. So of course, i started freaking out. My appointment was at 1 PM, and the nurse on call said i should wait till the appointment, especially since i stopped bleeding after the one initial time. So i went to the appointment and the nurse and i had our normal first prenatal visit. She said she thought i'd be fine since i had stopped bleeding, but she ordered a lot of blood tests and so if anything is wrong, i will hear from them soon. Since she figured the tests would be completed yesterday still, the fact i haven't heard anything is very good. i was shaky the rest of the day though!

When we got home, we put David down for a nap and then Kris and i also fell asleep, to wake up about 2 hours later. Our whole family was exhausted from the stress of David's birthday parties last weekend and the worry about the baby. We had a nice little evening at home, and then went to bed early and slept very well last night, too. i think we all needed the rest. Anyway, little baby should be fine, though the nurse said that i should stop going to Curves or doing super athletic activities for a while, until we've had an ultrasound.


Anyway, i'm glad yesterday is over!

I'll be sending prayers your way that all is well. I had a similar thing happen when I was pregnant the second time... and it turned out to be TWINS! I had spotting throughout that pregnancy and they ended up being fine. Hope everything goes great at your next appointment!

That is very scary. I couldn't imagine. I am glad everything is ok, though.
