10 Week Scare

On the first day of my tenth week everything appeared to be going great. At around three in the afternoon I noticed I had some blood in my under ware and of course went into panic mode. I called my doctor and she told me that I needed to go in for an emergency ultrasound at the hospital. I was so scared. I called Alan and he wanted to come with me so I stopped by home to pick him up. He always makes me relax so I felt better with him by my side. We got to the hospital and we waited and when we finally got to see a nurse she tried to listen to the heartbeat. We couldn't hear anything and this made me even more scared. She told me that it may still be too early to hear the heartbeat so I shouldn't worry too much. Finally, she found an ultrasound machine and we got to get a sneak peak at you! We were so happy to see you dancing around inside all safe and cozy. The doctor said you were doing a "jig"! You also had arms and legs and a head! Before you were just kind of a beating spot.

It turns out that I had a blood vessel that got knocked loose and that caused me to bleed. I was so scared and so happy to finally see you looking like a ity bity person...only the size of a small plum! Ohhh your so cute!

Today I am eight weeks pregnant. You are the size of a medium grape! I cannot belive how fast you are already growing! We have been starting to tell more and more people about you and we cannot wait to meet you. You sure will be popular. So far I have been feeling pretty well except for being really really tired. It takes a lot of enery to make you:) I still dont have much of an appetite but I am sure it will return in time. I have been having lots of cravings for white bread and red wine vinegar???? Strange I know?? I try to eat as healthy as I can to nourish you as you grow.
