An Overdue Update

Well the last week has been a mix of emotions. Jon and I got to enjoy a whole week together as we learned the good news and he was able to stay home before they left again on Tuesday. Yes, Jon left again on Tuesday for another two weeks. It was wonderful to have him hear and I miss him so much more now than ever before.

After we left the Doctor last Tuesday we were excited and also worried for what's to come. Yes things appeared better on the ultra sound but there are still so many doubts. I am trying to take it one week at a time and I am grateful for the understanding and patience that my Doctor has for me.

I had another appointment this Tuesday, where I anticipated a release back to work Part-Time however, I had begun spotting after my appointment last week and I continue to do so even up until today. So it is back to Bedrest. After testing the sample they concluded that the spotting is a mixture of old blood and new blood. So I won't be going back to work until that is resolved, which I am starting to think might never happen as I am not doing anything directly to cause it. If I continue to spot until my next appointment, which I now have weekly, they will do another complete ultrasound just to double check.

I know that I have the most wonderful gift to look forward to at the end of this journey, but this has been really difficult. I am bored, a bit sad, and now lonely for Jon. What a difference from one pregnancy to the next. The first time was such a great experience, all happiness and excitement, this time it is just hopefulness and concern. I know we'll get there and I am amazed that we are already 3 weeks past the incident I am now 16 weeks and counting!!!
