Still on Bedrest!

So I just have to vent! Jake had a couple days off this week, and I had cabin fever, so I had to get out of the house! I wasn't really on my feet that much, but everything got a lot worse! The pain, the bleeding, everything! Of course, by the time I decided to call the Dr., it was Friday and they aren't in clinic on Friday! They said they would have the nurse call me back to see if she could get the baby's heartbeat, but she never called! So me and Jake sat and worried (although he will say that I was the only one worried). Then, we went to both the hospitals' L&D's to see if they would check the heartbeat! But apparently, you have to be 20 weeks before they will let you up there. They told me to go to the ER! I think the ER has enough of our money from last weekend and we didn't want to wait arround, so we went and bought a heart beat monitor. It said it didn't work until the 3rd trimester, but we think we actually heard something! It sounds like a tiny little gallop! But we were still worried that it wasn't really the heartbeat and I knew I would have to wait until Monday to find out if the baby was still alive! Luckily, my work is wonderful and one of the U/S techs was still there. She said she would check for us, so we rushed in! And BAM! There is was! The best thing in the whole world to see (besides Brenlee's face)! Even though the clot is getting larger, the baby is doing wonderful! He has grown so much and he waved at us on the screen! He was moving so much he looked like he was dancing! We got to see all ten fingers and toes! I think that I saw it was a boy, but it's still early! Now I feel wonderful knowing he is alive and can barely feel the contractions! I really hope they never find out taht ultrasounds are bad though because Brenlee and this baby have had a lot of them! Hope everyone is doing well!
