Another ultrasound

Last night I drove out to Centerville. My aunt Penny and my cousins wife Sara have started their own little jewlery business, and last night they had an earring party. Even though I dont wear earrings I was happy to support them (and it was a lot of fun to see them too). I took Grant with me and on the drive home we had the sweetest little talk about how much he loves his baby sister already! I told him that she has already cost us more and caused mommy and daddy more anxiety than he ever did (which he found very funny), but mommy and daddy love her too and we already think of her as a member of our family!! When we got home we went through our bedtime routine and got Grant all settled in, as Jared and I went to go to bed I had to use the bathroom and I was bleeding. Tears started falling down my cheeks and I just sat there for a while. Obviously when you are pregnant bleeding is not a good thing. When I told Jared I could tell that he was concerned but he is so strong for me and he knows me well enough to know that is what I need. He just put his arm around me and told me that everything was going to be ok, then he held me while I had a little freakout-meltdown session. As soon as he had me settled my next instinct was that I needed to talk to my mom. You know in my eyes, my mom knows EVERYTHING (even if she doesnt) She always knows the right words to say to me. I guess after 27 years of being my mother she knows me pretty well. She told me that the worst thing for me to do is get all worked up and stressed. I needed to calm down and try to get some rest and I could call the doc in the morning. So that is what I TRIED to do. I went to bed and couldnt sleep so I went to Grants room and ran my fingers through his hair as I watched him peacefully sleep, I did a lot of praying and begging, and somehow I finally ended up falling asleep holding my sweet little boy's hand. As soon as I woke up this morning I called the nurse. She asked me several questions and said she wanted me to go in to get an ultrasound ASAP. I told her I wasnt even dressed and that it would take me about an hour to get there. So I threw my hair up and threw on some pants and took off to go get my husband. When I got up on the ultrasound table and she squirt that goop on my belly I had an overwhelming sense of peace come over me, like God was telling me "dont worry, everything is going to be okay" The technician told Grant he could come stand on the stool next to me. As I took my little Grant's hand I saw the amazing little flickering of our sweet baby's heart. I couldnt help but tear up and I was speechless. The tech pointed things out to us and she even printed out a picture, although the baby is so tiny you cant see much. She checked my ovaries, which are great and then she found a "spot". It was a black spot about the same size as the amniotic sack and it was right next to my little baby. She couldnt tell me exactly what it was but she did say that is where the blood was coming from and that it is not a good thing, but thats all she could tell us. After having the radiologist read the ultrasound the nurse called to let me know that it is a hemorrhage on my uterus, and no it is not a good thing but it is not something to get all worked up about. If I take it easy it should just repair itself and go away, thats what we are hoping anyway. The bleeding has somewhat tapered off a little today, which is good. I am supposed to call the nurse immediately if the bleeding picks up at all, and I HAVE TO TAKE IT EASY!!!
I know I have asked for a lot of prayers in the past but please pray for us. That my uterus is strong enough to sustain this pregnancy and carry our sweet baby to term. Thank you to everyone for all your support. We love you!
