A Little Scare
This morning I woke up and went to the bathroom as I always do. I was bleeding a little. It was more than spotting but not extremely bad. It looked like I was starting my period. I of course freaked out. I called Micah (he’s in Des Moines, IA) immediately and started crying. He is always my voice of reason and quickly calmed my nerves. After talking to him I called Chris to tell her. She told me to call into work and to come into the office and get my blood drawn for a level check. To top it all off…today is the Mother/Grandmother Breakfast at school. My 6th grade choir was supposed to perform this morning…but due to this scare I had to call my school and tell them what was going on. They were extremely understanding and supportive. They took care of everything. Thank you God! I finally went to the doctor’s office. They gave me a shot of Progesterone and the doctor did an ultrasound with an old ultrasound machine. Due to it being an older machine it did not allow us to actually see the baby, but we did see the yolk sack. She said the shape of it looked really good, which helps alleviate some of the concern. I have an actual ultrasound appointment on Tuesday so unless I start bleeding again they will wait until Tuesday for the ultrasound. If I do start bleeding they will schedule an ultrasound sooner. Please say a prayer for all of us, including Micah. I know Micah is a little stressed too, especially since he can’t be at home right now. I know this is a pretty common situation and many women have bleeding and everything is fine. I also know this is only the beginning of my many worries and scares as a mother. Thank you God for all You do in my life and I know that You know best.
