This weekend was supposed to be full of buying a new car, registering for baby, celebrating mother's day, and packing up my home. Well not a lot of that got accomplished. Saturday when we were getting ready to go and buy a new car, I noticed that I was spotting and FREAKED out! I called the doctor and she wanted me to come to the hospital and get checked out. We went and got on a contraction monitor and heartbeat monitor. They also gave me an exam and couldn't figure out what was causing me to spot. I had to spend the night at the hospital for observation. I had no contractions while I was there and this morning they gave me an ultrasound. The doctor discovered that I have a disorder called "placenta previa" which just means that my placenta is resting on my cervix. She said that it is a mild case and it is just some of it is on my cervix. She is hoping that with the growth of my uterus, it will pull the placenta off and everything will be OK. If it doesn't then I will have to have a C-section at 36-37 weeks. I am on some mild restrictions and will be one of those patients that will probably get to see the baby a lot with ultrasounds throughout the next few months (which is the positive aspect of this).
I did actually get to see the sex of our child. Let's just say HE'LL be a baseball player! I have another ultrasound this week and will keep everyone updated. PLEASE keep us in your prayers that the baby will be safe throughout this pregnancy and that the placenta will come off of the cervix and everything will be normal. We love all of you and appreciate your prayers. Happy Mother's Day!

Hon I am thinking about you and praying for you and my nephew. Keep safe
We're (Sarah & Jon) thinking of you and praying for you and your little BOY! Yay!
hang in there Grandpa is thinking of you every minute!!
We are praying for you and the baby. I can't believe it's a boy. I really thought it was going to be a boy. Now who am I going to pass all these clothes to?
Jon and Sarah,
Want to pass on some boy clothes to us? Nothing Winnie the Pooh though. I know beggars can't be choosers but I have to draw the line somewhere!
I would be happy to pass on some things. We are saving the clothes just in case we really do have number four, but I will go through and select some things I can part with! :) I got a ton of clothing from my brother who had 3 boys before me, plus new things we bought. So I think I can spare a little. I always loved when I saw people wearing the girls' clothes on their kids that I passed down!
