Yesterday we had a little scare! After eating breakfast with the kids, I went to the bathroom and found some blood and had some cramping. After my friend dying last week in child birth, and Regan's secretary miscarrying her baby yesterday as well, I was very concerned. I spent all morning on the phone with my nurse, trying to schedule an ultra sound with the right hospital, and trying to figure out what my insurance covers, I was exhausted! Finally we got an appointment for an ultra sound at 3:00, and my sweet mom dropped everything in her day to help me out because she didn't want me to go by myself! My awesome dad stayed home with the kids and watched them as we were gone! I simply have the COOLEST family EVER! They will drop everything and anything to help me out!
SO-as the radiologist was looking at the ultrasound, we immediatly saw the heart beat and it was PERFECT! Then we saw the baby kicking, holding it's feet and moving all around inside me! What a comfort to know and see that the baby was just great! To tell you the truth, I was beginning to think the worst at this point! She said that there was no reason why I was bleeding and that everything was great with me and the baby! What a relief! I then talked to my nurse, and she also reassured me that I was fine and to take it easy for a little bit!
I came home and thanked my Heavenly Father for blessing me with a healthy baby and for comforting me throughout this whole scary day! I was surprised how calm I was. Usually I am pretty emotional during scary things like this, but I really did feel calm yesterday and before even going to the hospital, recorded my thoughts in my journal of the privlige and honor it is of mine to be a mother!
If anything good came out of this, the radiologist did tell me that instead of having my due date be October 3rd, it is now September 26th! WOW-that definently makes me feel a lot better!

I'm so glad everything is okay... what a relief. Also, I'm so sorry about your friend Jenny, I can't even imagine, but you are right, we have to have faith that Heavenly Father knows best. Hang in there.
I am glad that everything is ok!! You scared me there for a minute, especially after reading your previous post just a few days ago. Even though everything is ok--just know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Andrea,

Oh my gosh, you had a friend pass away? I'm so sorry!!!! I'm glad everything turned out a-ok with baby Fackrell!
How scary!! I'm so glad that everything is alright. It's amazing with all the things that could go wrong that there are actually babies who make it out healthy and normal. I'm glad you and baby are doing alright.
I am glad everything looks good. That is so scary! Let me know when life calms down and you want me to change your blog!
Andrea, I am so glad that everything is okay. That happened to me with Josh, It can be really scary. I'm glad that you're okay.
Andrea, I'm so glad everything is okay! : ) That would of course make any expectant mom a little bit nervous, but like you said, in the end it makes us realize that we're blessed to be able to experience this miracle! Good luck with the rext of your pregnancy!
I am so glad that everything is OK. What a miracle these little babies are. We are so lucky to be moms aren't we? I'll keep praying that everything goes well through the rest of your pregnancy. I had that happen with Grant and everything turned out fine!!
