One more time

Well I think everyone knows now that we are expecting again. It was kind of a surprise to us. I say kind of because we knew it was a chance but didn't think it would really happen. I had an IUD for a few years. I had that removed in June. I had planned on getting put on something else but just didn't right away. At first I wanted to try for another one but then after a few weeks we decided it probably wasn't a good idea. So we decided not to try again. I was going to make a doctor's appointment but I decided to take the home pregnancy test Albert got for me sometime in August. Well I called the medical clinic but not for the reason first intended. I truelly didn't think I would get pregnant so fast. I figured I had time. All I can say is God has plans for us that didn't really match ours.

Albert went to New Jersey this week. He is going 'camping'. He left on Wednesday. You know everything happens when Albert leaves. That day I started bleeding some this is natural early in pregnancy so I wasn't concerned. Well Friday (yesterday) I started bleeding a good bit and started getting cramps. Well I went to the ER. I called friends of ours to come get the kids. I am convinced that Friday night is not the time to go to the ER. Anyway I got a sonagram done and the doctor said the baby was fine. The heartbeat is strong and looks good. My due date is May 13. I am a little over 7 weeks along. The doctor also said I have to stay on bed rest at least until I see my regular doctor hopefully on Monday. Bed rest not words I was wanting to hear so early in pregnancy. The doctor also said he couldn't tell me for sure I wasn't going to lose the baby. So I guess for right now I am ok but only time will tell and I should know more when I see my OB. I need an appointment on Monday but I don't know if I can. I have to go to an off base doctor so I have to wait for a referal letter. I am supose to get it in the mail and can't see the doctor until I get one. So I guess if it doesn't come today I will go to the office Monday and see if I can get one printed.

It is frustrating everything happens while Albert is gone. It never fails as soon as Albert leaves something happens. He is only going to be gone a week and I end up in the ER. Oh well I guess for now things are ok. For now I stay in bed and well just sit here.
