A Heavy Post

I had a decision to make today...to be an open book about my pregnancy or keep everything "picture perfect".

I decided to spare the gross details on this blog but be real about what's going on.

On Tuesday, I started spotting and having mild cramps. Forrest was concerned but told me to keep him posted at work. I immediately started praying. As the day went on, my nerves got the best of me. I broke down and called my OB and due to the time they recommended going to the ER. I called Forrest and he dropped everything at work and headed home so we could go to the hospital. Once we arrived, I was brought back right away. The nurse took 5 vials of blood, a urine sample and my vitals. All my tests came back PERFECT! I was then wheeled back to the ultrasound tech where she took a look at our little miracle. With Forrest by my side, we were overjoyed to see our baby waving at us! It was the sweetest thing. From that moment on I knew everything was okay! The ER doc then cleared us and sent our growing family home.

I followed up with my OB Wednesday and she reassured me that the baby was just as it should be. There was no reason for the spotting! She said it could happen again in the next two weeks but if it does to not be alarmed.
11 Weeks Pregnant
I'm going to take the next two weeks easy. Forrest told me to not worry about cleaning the house if I don't feel up to it! He said "All you have to do is grow our baby."



I'm so thankful for the baby that the Lord has given us! I don't know what I'd do without Forrest by my side every single second!

GIRL!!!! That's SCARY!!! I'm SOOOO thankful everything is okay. Spotting is so so scary, I didn't have any with Kye but I did with Britt and it scared me to death. My dr told me to REST and that being too active is what caused my spotting. So you have a valid excuse to lounge around and look at pinterest :)

Wow, I'm so thankful to hear everything is alright with the baby. My heart sank as I read the title of the post and had to skim down to read that the baby is okay. I can't even imagine how difficult and scary that was. I'm thankful for the Lord's protection and thanksgiving. We'll keep you in our prayers!

Forrest is right. All you need to do right now is grow that baby!!! Trust me, now is the time to be lazy and lounge and enjoy not having to get up when you don’t want to :) Thankful everything is OK.
