And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

A Bit Off

Well, my due date anyway...Yesterday morning I had some bleeding so I made an appointment with the doctor and went in at 1:30. What I thought would be about an hour ordeal turned out to be 3 hours. Yuck.... I'll try to sick to the "short" version, so here goes....

John's boss gave him the rest of the day off and he stayed home with us and took care of Livy while I took it easy. My doctor that I would normally see was on vacation that week so I saw another doctor (which he is very good too!). I hadn't had my first doc. app yet either. It was going to be in 2 weeks. I had troubles with Livy too so I thought better safe than sorry. So anyhoo, I went in and doc figured my "supposed" due date as 11/21/09 and I was 7 wks 4 days. He said the only way to tell if baby was okay was to do an ultrasound. So we attempted it. I say "attempted" because they tried and my bladdler wasn't full enough so I had to wait 30 min. After waiting I got to do my ultrasound. The wonderful news is that baby is totally fine! But I'm not as far along as what I thought. Even though the doc and I figured my due date and how far along I was based off my last period, the real way to know is from the ultrasound. Well it showed that I was 5wks 4 days. I was kinda bummed that I wasn't as far along as what I thought (my emotions were crazy yesterday!!!), but the blessing in all of this is that baby is super! Anyhoo..after we did the ultrasound the nurse took me in a room to wait again..then the doc came in and said everything was peachy. I'm thinking "oh good, now I can go home", but.. doc wanted me to go to the hosptial have blood drawn. I'm thinking..."What! I'm tired, I want to go HOME!" After being there 2 hours I was so ready! Well, as I said before baby was good so it was worth it. So I went to the hospital to wait some more, then they drew blood. Oh yeah, I have to go back Friday and more blood drawn. Oh well, I'll go straight to the lab this time, so no big deal.. But all in all, I'm fine and baby is fine. After all that I had to get some groceries. We were out of stuff so I had to. After dragging myself though Wal-Mart we got home and John said, "Why don't you go to bed and I'll put groceries away and put Livy to bed." What a sweet hubby! He is the best! So at 8:30 I finally got to rest.

Everything seems to be fine and God is still good! I am still spotting a bit so please pray for baby. Pray for me too. My emotions are kinda crazy right now. Praying and reading His Word helps!
