this pregnacy has been fun lately, NOT!!!!

So after Bethany's B-day party last Saturday I noticed some light spotting. So I called my Dr. They said it was probably no big deal and to wait and see if it got any worse. Well it started getting a little worse and I was having some light contractions too so we decided to head into Tulsa and go to the hospital to have it checked out.

We got to the hospital about 1am and the admitted me to labor and delivery right away and monitored me for 2+ hours. I was having mild contractions every 3 min for over an hour and then I had a much bigger one that hurt. After that the contractions pretty much went away, weird huh? They decided to send me home with a few restrictions and told me to make an appt with my Dr ASAP. So I go back to Cody's parent's house and we get there about 4am.

I spotted off and on for the next couple of days until my Dr Apt on Tuesday. The Dr said everything looked fine but wanted me to go to the hospital for an ultrasound because my placenta is lower than it should be and I have an increased risk of it detaching. (We've know this for at least a month.)

I went to the hospital with Cody and kids in tow and waited for all of my paperwork and stuff to be processed and for the ultrasound lady to arrive. That took 2 hours. The kids hadn't had naps and they were restless but finally about 4pm Sponge Bob came on and the ultrasound happened and I thought we were done. (This whole time I'd been hooked up to the machine that monitors the baby's heart rate and the contractions, ect. The nurse had the straps WaY too tight and they hurt me. The baby wouldn't stay in one place so they kept loosing the heart beat and had to come in and resdjust everything several times) The nurse came in the room I thought to release me but instead she took my blood and said we would have to wait about 1/2 and hour for the results to get back. So we wait more. She finally comes back and says that my D? count is high which means that my clotting mechanisms are working like I'm bleeding somewhere. I have to stay overnight and have my blood drawn at 10:30pm & 6am. We were completely unprepared for that possibility and had a moments confusion deciding what to do with the kids and stuff.

We decided to have Nanny watch the kids and Cody would come back to the hospital and stay with me after she arrived at the house. So we did that. Cody got the kids dinner on the way home and I waited imaptiently for him to get back. My Dr came in and said that he decided that my placenta had indead detatched in a very small area causing a little bleeding behind it and that he was watching me to see if it was still bleeing or if it was starting to heal itself. Luckily it seems that the bleeding has stopped and my counts got lower with each blood test :) I got to go home about 9ish this morning.

I have to be on bedrest for a week, until my next dr appt, and let my body try to heal itself. At my appt they will decide if I need to cuntinue to stay longer on bedrest or not. I hope not but I do want the baby to be safe and have every chance so we will see what happens.

Cody's Mom is staying with us until tomorrow after Cody gets off work and then she will go home. Cody is taking Garrett to Chuckie Cheeses on Friday. Saturday he will be driving Garrett to the airport in Dallas to meet his Dad and Garrett will fly back to NC with him :(
I was already sad he is leaving but now I'm even sadder because I can't go to send him off.
