Whirl Wind... but a baby is coming!!

Well... another hurdle. Went to dinner with my Dad and family last week and started bleeding (bad) in the restaurant no less. Blood was gushing out actually... very scary. Phil called 911 and I went to St. Mary's for 5 hours.



They did an ultra sound and found Baby A was doing great and Baby B was not doing good. No heartbeat for Baby B. We knew this might happen. Dr. Denker had prepared us for this. We are not sure if Baby B was the reason for the bleed. Baby B has not been doing good from the start. Measuring two-weeks behind, late implantation and enlarge yolk sac. All abnormal.


I was ordered back on bed rest... (mind you I am a bear on bed rest - LOL). Thank goodness for family - my husband, mama and dad have all taken great care of me.



7 days later... today... I went to see Dr. Denker and got some great news. As thought Baby A is perfect! Heartbeat great and you should see the little bean picture! It grew so much... it has little legs and hands :) Looks like a little teddy bear! We are measuring 9 weeks & 4 days!


The bleed has stopped and hardly no clot left in my uterus. The Doctor was very pleased! As are we! Everything measured right on schedule and looked good. I have been released to light work duty again - so I have to take it very easy.

Here is today's US scan. You can see Baby A doing GREAT! Right under Baby A is Baby B's sac and you can see my body is trying to absorb it. Which it will eventually.





So we have one healthy, beautiful baby (thanks to Palm Beach Fertility Center / Dr. Denker). We are thrilled and hoping for no more hurdles. But we are ready just in case. It was great to have a good appointment today. It was amazing to see our little baby.

Another appointment next Friday... so please pray for a week with no hurdles.

It's TWINS!!!!!!

Yep! That's right people. TWINS. I am 8-weeks PREGO!

I have not blogged in a while as I have been in a period of panic the last few weeks. Panic because I found out we were pregnant and then because I had a small complication. I had a sub-chronic bleed in my uterus. It sounds bad... it seems to happen to a lot of people. Dr. Denker put me on bed rest for two-weeks, feet up!! I only got up to potty and shower. The first week was okay... the second week was brutal. Bed rest is not all that great - LOL.

I have several ultrasounds during that time and found that there are twins. The bleed stopped but is still in there slowly leaking out. So I am taking it very easy. The bleed has not affected the babies. Baby A is very strong and doing well. Baby B has struggled. It had delayed implantation and now the yolk sac is measuring enlarged. SO there is a chance Baby B will not make it. My body will just absorb the baby and it will not affect Baby A. It's all in God's hands now so I am just doing everything Dr. Denker says and hopefully all will be GREAT!

I am still on my Progesterone shots and Estrogen patches, prenatals and some Magnesium-Oxide for the old bleed.

I will say this... I am doing GOOD! I am thrilled the bleed stopped and Baby A and B are growing. It's sad about Baby B but there is nothing I can do. I just have to take care of us and see what happens.

I was release for light work duty and this week is my first week back.
THANK GOODNESS!
I read two novels while on bed rest - Twilight series - yes I am obsessed!

Phil is doing GREAT. He is so optimistic about everything.
These early weeks are always scary for all pregnant women. You are wondering if the babies will make it, get through that first trimester, worrying is always happening... it's tough.

We heard both babies heart beats last week. It was unexplainable. My sister told me when I got married... right before I walked down the isle... she said, "this will be an amazing day but know you have days that will surpass this fay by leaps and bounds!" Boy was she right... I thought if that when I heard those hearts... I swear my heart literally changed.

I am praying and hoping that all works out and we have the family we always dreamed of. Keep us in your thoughts and I will update you this weekend as my next appointment is Friday. I know all will be well and we will be moving forward.

Thanks for sharing this with me and thanks for your thoughts!
