Big Scare

Well yesterday I woke up and was spotting. I freaked out right away and debated if I should go to the ER. Luckily, I thought to call Laura first and she told me to call the OB. I did and they told me to sit tight (if it didn't get worse) and get in this morning.

I went to the doctor's at 9 and had the usual 45 min. wait. the doctor finally came in, broke out the dopper, found the heartbeat, and sent me home. (The spotting has since stopped.)

I am relieved, but I'll always find something to worry about! I can't wait for the 18 week ultrasound. I want to see the little one... not just hear.

It's cool because the heart was audible and moved away. The baby moved and the doctor had to re-find the sound.

I hope I get no more spotting.

As of today, I am 13 weeks... the start of the second trimester! I'd say that time is flying by but with me constantly doting, it's not! At least I'm a third of the way through! I hope I start growing a belly and feel the baby soon. I can't wait until Jason can feel something. He's kind of just a passenger in all of this right now so I feel bad.

And, in other news, I get my EEG on Wednesday. I'm not allowed more than 6 hours of sleep. That's not going to be fun. Right now I tend to get well over 8. I guess I'll survive the one day. (The EEG is a test to measure my brain waves to try and explain the facial numbness.)

That's all for now. Let's hope I have no more news for a while.
