Just a little bump in the road

It is funny how a pregnancy can bring on so many new experiences! Some of which being totally unexpected. It was a shock to me when 3 weeks ago I had a little spotting (it was barely anything really) but I thought I should call the doctor's office just to be safe since we were planning to move the next week. They told me they wanted me to get a stat ultrasound just to make sure that everything was okay. I was fine with that but I kind of waited around for them to tell me to come in all day & then rushed over to the Ahwatukee office when they wanted me to go. It was so fun to see the baby move around on the big flat screen they had & to see that "He/She" had arms & legs and what seemed to be everything that should be there. But they also found that I had a hemorrhage next to my uterus as well:( The doctor wasn't my normal one but he was super nice and told me that it was a pretty common occurrence which made me feel good & that it was really small. But then he said I couldn't lift or exercise, etc & that I had to put my feet up more for the next 2 weeks or it could make me bleed more & I could lose our little person!

Yeah it wasn't the best news since I was packing & leaving for Cali in 1 week. I am kind of a busy body and to lay around when I feel fine was torture, especially when I had to watch everyone else go through my junk and pack everything up for me & unpack everything for me. I did rest because of course I wanted our baby to be okay but I think it was one of the least fun things I have had to go thru in my life. I much rather do things myself or help someone else do it then to have someone do it for me:)

We went to the doctor today (who I don't like & I need to find another one) and he said that everything looks better and that with one more week (which will make it 1 month since they found it) I can pick things back up again! Hurray:) I can't wait to do at least a little cardio & get back into the swing of things since my original dream was to be Mrs. Fit Mom during my pregnancy. Oh well! Life happens & I have learned to be alittle more easy going & maybe that is what I need to continue to learn throughout this pregnancy! At least I am feeling fine, my baby is healthy, I am not sick the entire time & I am not on bedrest. I know I have so much to be grateful for & I know so many women who are complete troopers and go through so much to bring their sweet babies into this life. I am so grateful for all the help that was rendered my family members & the new members of our ward here. Everyone has been so loving & helpful in our move, I don't know how we could have made this move without everyone's support! So thanks again to family & friends, we miss you all so much.

Here is a little pic of our babe a few weeks ago, it's the typical "Alien baby"shot, but I still love it & love being able to almost see it's little face & hands.
It's crazy how much I already love this little guy/girl:)

More posts to come of getting settled here in Cali!
