Palindrome Hat!

Here is my completed Palindrome hat! I was so happy I finished it. I was able to wear it in the snow! I use the pattern that Silver has on her website. It was a lot of fun, easy and my first Hat project. I love the cables! It's made out of Patons Decor yarn.

Lane's first time in the snow!

Friday we had some snow! Lane was able to go out into the snow for the first time! We had about 3 inches of snow in the ground. He had such a great time! Mikie came home a bit later and we took him out again!

We built a snowman but lane knocked it over before I could get a picture. He had so much fun throwing snowballs at me and his daddy! I'm so glad he was able to experience the snow!

The best part was it snowed in the morning and everything was gone and melted by 4pm that same day! Ahhh I love living in Texas!

Not feeling good.

I visited the doctor monday and did all that good bloodwork. I got my results back on Wednesday that my progestrone levels were indeed low. She wants me to do 30 days of vaginal suppositories to increase my levels. I started those on Thursday night. I had high hopes that they might help with my tiredness or the nasty nausea I feel from noon-I go to bed. TBH I feel worse today than I did last week.

I laid in bed at 10 last night. I was asleep by 11 and didn't crawl out of bed until almost 9:30 this morning. I'm irritable, grouchy, tired and frustrated. I couldn't even make myself eat a bowel of cereal. UGH! 8weeks tomorrow.

Doctor's visit!

I had a doctor's visit this morning. A follow-up from the ER visit while I was in San Antonio. The doctor decided to do another songram to see the position of the baby and to see if there was anymore bleeding/hemorraghing. She said the baby looked good. It was "holding on" just fine. She did see where the bleeding had occured. She didn't feel it was a problem. The baby's heart rate was up around 150's, so that was an improvement from last week. She estimates me to be about 7 weeks, so we are sticking with the October 19th due date! My sister is excited since that is her birthday!

The doctor printed me out a picture of our little "peanut". It just looks like a tiny dot in the middle of a circle. So much for technology! She sent me over to do a bit more blood work. My arms look like I've been injecting myself with all kinds of good stuff, or that mikie has taken to abusing me. LOL. She wanted to check my progestrone levels. She said that can cause bleeding and misscarriage. I should find out later this week how my levels are sitting!

So that's that. I'm supposed to "take it easy". I hope the afternoon/evening/night sickness goes away. It's really not fun. I've gained 3lbs, all in my boobs. Mikie's just disappointed they still hurt so he obviously can't enjoy them!

Keep us in your prayers!

Last night I was shopping with my mom and sister for a few groceries. I was in the checkout line when I felt like something wasn't right. I told mom and caiti to head to the car with the groceries (travis and lane were waiting in the car) and I would meet them out after I went to the restroom.

Upon going to the restroom I realized I had heavy bleeding and a lot of clotting. I immediately called my mom on her cell phone. I asked her to buy me some pads and I needed to get to the hospital. We decided the best course was to call the ambulance.

I was not having any pain just a lot of bleeding. I was taken to Baptist Medical Hospital in San Antonio. I waited 3.5 hours to see a doctor. I ended up having to have a BUNCH of blood taken (enough they had to do it in 2 different veins), a urine test, 3 different sonograms (1 trans vaginal and 2 on the belly). In the end I had to have a catheter placed so they could fill my bladder up enough to move the bowels out of the way.

They were able to find the baby. Baby Woods measures exactly 6w today (due date is now October 23rd), and had 114 HB per minute. We aren't sure why I had the heavy bleeding/clotting and no cramping. But I am now considered high risk for the next 6 weeks and I am to see the doctor asap on Monday morning (which I've made the appointment).

We're not out of the woods yet (no pun intended). So just keep us in your prayers. We know ultimately if it's meant to be, we'll continue to do fine, but if not, there wont be any controlling it.

Thanks!

Lane LOVED flying!

Lane really enjoyed flying. I only wished that we went out a bit earlier so the first flight would of been during daylight. He did really well on both flights. We even had to sit on the 2nd plane for almost an hour before we got to take off. Part of the flight crew was coming from a different flight and they were late!

He even managed to fall asleep 10 minutes before landing. Boy does he weigh ALOT when it's dead weight!

But he stayed awake the whole 45 minute ride home from the airport with uncle travis and aunt caiti. He went to bed a little after midnight and got up at 10am! NICE!

He told me he wanted to be a "pilot" and drive the plane. LOL
