Been awhile...

So I realize it's been quite some time since I have blogged. My bad. I knew I was going to suck at this! For some reason I thought I should only blog if I have pics to post. I guess that isn't absolutely necessary. Anyway..Hmmm...well not much has happened since last blog. Oh, well over a week ago, on a Sunday I had a scare. I had noticed since Friday I didn't really have much of an appetite. My stomach hurt constantly and I had bad abdominal pain like I was being stabbed. I couldn't eat much either. Well Sunday afternoon I'm getting ready with maddox, and he got Ajax all over him, so I stood up to wash his hands, and I felt a huge gush! I just KNEW it wasn't good. I was covered in blood. So I tell Erik, start bawling, and tell him we have to go to the ER. We debated on it for awhile, because my copay is now $500 for the ER! He kept saying, just wait til Monday! But I couldn't I had to know what was going on. So we went. They took lots of blood of course. Did an ultrasound right away. The baby was bouncing everywhere, thank god! But they said my placenta was about 50% detached and there was a good chance of miscarriage. Depressing. So I had a follow up with my DR the next day. He was so much more reassuring. He said 95% of the time people go on and carry the baby to full term, no problems. Yay. Just to take it easy, nothing strenuous, of course. Went again today for another followup(12 weeks yay!) and the baby was kicking and jumping everywhere! And by the way, I HAVE felt him/her move! Lots and lots. I know you are thinking Shut up Justine, it's too early. Well, I would say so too, but I know my body, and I know the difference between gas and a baby! Thank you very much :) My dr also decided to put me on bedrest for a month. We will see how that goes over with my boss. Hopefully I still have a job! I mean I guess they can't fire me for it, but I am hoping they can find some things for me to do from home. I need my job that's for sure! But I also need to take care of myself and baby #2. In other news, taxes should be arriving tomorrow! I hope so anyway, I have been waiting long enough, and they say tomorrow for sure! I have lots of bills to pay and would LIKE to plan a trip to Cali to visit my family. My dad sure misses Maddox! Whom by the way is getting so big and smarter every day! He walks everywhere now. Little monster! I am going to enjoy being home with him more now. I wish Erik could find a good job so I never had to work again! Wishful thinking I suppose. Well,l will try to update more often. Toodles for now!
