Good news!

First and foremost, thank you all for all your prayers and calls of concern over the weekend and past couple of days. I was admitted to the hospital Saturday around noon and had to stay there until 10:00 PM while they monitored the baby's activity and waited for me to stop bleeding. My sister was with me the whole time and Jonathan returned from a bachelor party to be with us. Fortunately, the bleeding was not too heavy and the baby seems to have experienced NO distress at all.

I have been resting and working from my bed since Monday while the doctor here in San Antonio ran some tests to make sure everything is still 100% healthy. By the grace of God, everything seems to be fine and the bleeding episode was most likely due to my low laying placenta. When the placenta is low and you carry low like I am, the chances of having a bleeding episode (or episodes) are fairly common. They said we definitely did the right thing going into the hospital because the bleeding often gets much worse, but again, we had the angles on our side.

I just got the call from my nurse here that the fetal fibronectin test she did to make certain my body was not trying to go into labor early was in fact negative. Also, my one hour glucose test (which tests for gestational diabetes) was normal. So, again things look to be 100% healthy. I will of course, be more careful when lifting and exercising to limit the chances of bleeding again. Other than that the doctor said to try to do things as normally as possible and not stress out.

So, our little guy will keep cooking a little longer which is exactly what we want to hear!
