Hi,
I was just going to let you all know that things settled down again last night. I am going to the sonogram this morning. I am trying not to get my hopes up. I have very very light bleeding but I am still passing tissue which I my main concern. If it wasn't for that then I would be confident that everything is still okay. I know it can go either way. I trust in the Lord and I know He's the One knitting this baby together and He gives it life if it is in His will. The sonogram is at 9:30. I will try to post some time after that to let you all know how thing are. Thanks for your prayers.

MM - I hope everything works out okay for you. You have a great attitude about it all, knowing that what happens is what's meant to happen.

Baked a whole bunch of cookies with my mom last night to put together plates for a few of my coworkers. Unfortunately, one coworker of mine got me a tower of boxes filled with all kinds of tasty candies. I'm allowing myself to taste a few and after that the family can have at 'em! That's what brothers are for right? :laugh:

I'm excited for Christmas, mostly because I get sooo excited about seeing family open the gifts I got them. It's my favorite part! I hope you all enjoy your holidays and stick to whatever goals you may have set!

Best wishes to you MM :flowerforyou:

So here's my plan for the next few days.

Today - hopefully gym. If I have a "no show" this morning, then I'll wrap - but hopefully gym - bringing my clothes with me.
Tomorrow - gym before leaving for North Dallas
Christmas - walk, walk, walk.
Boxing Day - walk, drive home, walk or gym - and enjoy the fact that I have no commitments until January 3rd.

Also, watch what I'm eating. This is very hard to do at the relatives. With my family it's hard because everyone eats competitively. With husband's family it's hard because I don't want anyone to be insulted (by leaving food on the plate).

Happy workouts & Merry Christmas!

The baby is okay!!!!! Praise the Lord! It's little heart was beating away! It has grown too which is very good news! They looked all over my uterus and found nothing that would be causing the bleeding. They have no idea why I am passing tissue and spotting. I'm about 7 1/2 weeks. I'm SOOO excited! I really thought I was losing it last night! So back to bed rest. :bigsmile: I will take that!

I am so happy for you! I hope everything turns out well for you. I had a weird thing happen with my 4th child, I started bleeding and passing tissue when I was about 15 wks pregnant, went to the ER, after US, pelvic exam, drawing blood and being there for 5 hours they told me to go home, the inevitable was going to happen, I was miscarrying, went home, slept all night, woke up the next day the bleeding was slowing down, went in to see my midwife Monday morning and there was still a hearbeat, bleeding had stopped. The only thing we could think of is I miscarried a twin that hadn't developed fully, and my body was just getting rid of it. To this day we don't know, I went on to carry the baby full term + and he was born at a very healthy 9 lbs. 8 oz, (I think I overate because I was so worried the whole pregnancy). I wish you luck, and hope you can enjoy this pregnancy without too much worry. I also am so happy to hear of someone else seeing a midwife, I had 4 of my 5 babies at home with my midwife, and loved it. Keep us posted, and I hope you have a great Christmas.:happy:

Go to bed. Go directly to bed. Do not pass go. . .I'm so happy for you. . .

Today I'm going out Christmas shopping for toys for the little ones, to sushi and then to the gym. No working at the strike office until next Monday! Hooray.

Had several more heated um. . .conversations yesterday. I look like a happy little librarian, but used to live in Detroit, tend bar and compete in martial arts competitions. . .so there were a few shocked faces when I went a little um. . ."street" on a few people who were being incredibly nasty to me. I'm not proud of my behavior, but I also recognize it as an important exercise in expressing my feelings and refusing to let people abuse me while I smile. (I'm trying to put a positive "what is this experience here to teach me?" spin on the whole rather negative experience. . .I think it's to remind me that expressing my feelings, however ugly, is better than eating them.)

I've also decided to start officially training to do a 5K in the spring. So, it's an excuse to buy new shoes. . .I tried to run in my cross trainers Sunday and my knees are still killing me. So, I'll need to make a trek to the running store today or tomorrow.

And, that's my life story for the day. . .I'm getting a little rambly lately. . .

Take care of yourselves!:flowerforyou:
