Scare at home

On Christmas Eve night, I began bleeding AGAIN. It couldn't have happened at a more inconvenient time. It was late and we had to drive up to Brian's parents the next morning. I called the on call doctor who advised me to go to the ER. We decided that since it seemed just like the past 3 episodes and I could feel him move around a lot, we would wait it out. By Christmas night, I was fine.

A few days later, it began again but this time it was a lot more than the past. I went to a doctor who did an ultrasound. They found a hematoma on the placenta. I had to see my doctor today just to make sure everything is okay. My understanding is that it is a pocket of blood that typically clots off. Today my doctor warned me that when this happens I will probably bleed a while lot and have lots of cramps. She warned me so that I wouldn't panic if it happens. She told me not to worry about avoiding my normal activities like walking around, carrying Luc, etc. I do have to go back every time I even have the slightest spotting. I think they will monitor to make sure I don't lose too much blood.

Well with all these complications, I have been able to see this sweet baby more often. We haven't had our anatomy ultrasound but we did confirm our assumptions about the sex. He is definitely a boy...another very active one. Luc is going to love having a little brother to play and wrestle with...after he gets over the new baby taking over a lot of his mommy time.

I never got to see this with Luc. He kept yawning and yawning. It was so cute.
