Pregnancy Update...not so good...UPDATE

If you haven't noticed, I have taken off the floating baby on my side bar and the other thing under it that would tell me what was happening with my baby on that day...well, I have and not at all because I've wanted to.

Nathan and I went to the doctors yesterday(Monday Feb. 25) because I had been spotting A TINY bit since Thursday. We're talking hardly at all and only 1 time a day. but I was still concerned and wanting to make sure everything would be just fine. We were not expecting what we found at all. After a pretty long wait (typical) at the office, we were finally able to get the ultrasound. There was hardly anything to see. It just looked like a little bubble and it wasn't even big enough to get a measurement with. I assume, because of that, it was only about 4 weeks or so...so anyway, it should have big enough to see an outline of a baby and I should have definitly have been able to see heartbeat. The doctor was being very optimistic, until he just flat out said that he thought it would turn into a miscarriage, and I think he's right. I hope we're all wrong, but only time will see. He's having me come in for blood tests to measure the amount of the pregnancy hormone in my blood and that will tell us if I am losing the baby...

We'll keep you updated, but it doesn't look good.

Well, today we went to the doctor and he did another ultrasound and it looks like I have officially lost the baby. I figured that I had, and it was probably on Sunday night. It was a bit depressing to see that it was gone, but it gives me some hope. With the baby I miscarried before Michael was born, my body didn't get rid of the pregnancy and I had to have a D&C. And then when I was pregnant with Michael, I ended up being induced and had a c-section, becuase my body wasn't dilating. I didn't think that my body actually knew what to do!
So on Sunday night when I started to really cramp hard, I was a bit relieved! I am hopeful that because my body got rid of the pregnancy on it's own that it does know what to do and I just have to give it the time it needs. Hopefully when I get pregnant again and it's a successful and happy pregnancy I will not be induced and I will go into labor on my own. I guess only time will tell!!
