Let the Countdown Begin
Actually I've been counting since I found out I was pregnant again. Our 20 week ultrasound is in T minus one week. Seven days from today at this time, I will be leaving work to go home and eat lunch, meet Brad and leave for Iowa City. This is D-Day for us. We will see the heart in detail and see how everything else is looking, and of course will be finding out the sex of our little one. We are anxious and excited and hopeful all at once. Please God let this be our healthy, take-home baby!

A minor...ok major scare
I've been bad with keeping up on my blogging. This actually happened about a week and a half ago, on New Years Eve. What a way to ring in the new year.
I woke up Saturday morning, ate breakfast and starting taking down our Christmas decorations. I went to the bathroom and had some spotting. I had spotting when I was pregnant with Claire, but that was at like 6 weeks, not 15 weeks! I freaked out and thought the worst was going to happen. I called the on-call doctor at the hospital, knowing they wouldn't say anything but to take it easy and call back if it got worse. That's exactly what they said. Thankfully, it never got worse. It stuck around Saturday and was pretty much non-existent on Sunday. It came back on Monday. After Iowa City told me there was nothing they would do for me, I called my local on-call doctor. She already knew my history (that's why I love them), and told me to call first thing Tuesday morning to schedule an ultrasound and check-up. I got in around 9:30 and we saw our baby with a perfect heartbeat moving around. She also did an internal on me, and I'm happy to say we are high, firm and closed! I thought maybe we'd get a sneak peak of the sex, but no such luck. Guess we will be waiting until February 6th. I can't wait.
I had a normally scheduled appointment in Iowa City on Friday and after a fiasco with our appointment time, we ended up having to be there at 4PM. We knew we wouldn't get great care on a Friday at 4PM, but no one said a word about my spotting issue or if it had stopped, etc. Seriously, take the 2 fucking minutes and read my chart before you see me. It can't be that difficult! Yeah, I need to work on my language before this baby gets here, but how frustrating.
On a happy note, I felt the baby for the first time a couple days ago. Just a little bit and it's only been once a day since then if I'm lucky, but I'll take it.
Can't believe it's been over 7 months. We miss you everyday Claire Bear. We love you so much.
