The 2nd ultrasound
So yesterday I noticed more spotting and was already cramping(I don't think I've stopped cramping since like 6 weeks!) anyway I brushed it off cause it wasn't very much and went about my business for the day which was to hit up Target Shopko and Walmart to see if I could find the perfect stuffed bears and moose for the Canada tree We're helping with for the Festival of Trees. I went to Target first and there they were...the perfect stuffed bears and moose!! I was so relieved as I was getting worried I wasn't going to find any that would work, and was going to have to settle with something I didn't really like, but these were PERFECT!! I was elated!! Then Lizabeth and I went and found the table top hockey game my mom told me about, that's super cool!! Then we wandered a bit more checked out and headed to Shopko just to make sure there wasn't anything better out there. There wasn't. Then we stopped at Walmart and picked up a few things we needed, and headed home for naptime. That's when I noticed the bleeding was getting heavier, so I called Tony in a panic, and got him on his way home, then I called my dr and they set up another ultrasound for that afternoon. I called my sweet neighbor who agreed to watch Elizabeth until Ketty was off work and could get her. And after waiting nearly an hour at radiology, we were taken back for the ultrasound. Which didn't turn up any good news this time. By the time they had the results it was after 5 so they got a hold of the on call OB who told me that the baby's heart rate had gone down to 85. It went from 128 to 85 in 6 days not good. She told me that I would most likely miscarry once the heart stopped, and that my bleeding would just get worse. Well I think the heart stopped last night because the bleeding has indeed gotten much much worse. Now I'm just hoping it will pass at home and I won't have to have surgery, but we shall see. I'm doing a lot better with it than I thought I would. I'm sad but not despaired. It helps having Elizabeth's sillyness around she's always making me smile and laugh, and I'm so busy attending to her that I hardly have time to think on it. So that's where we're at with life. We'll keep ya posted.

Oh Anni, I am so so sorry. Words cannot even express. I am just in tears for you. Call me if you need to talk.
So sorry to hear that it didn't go well. I am glad that you have a little one that is keeping your smiles up. One day Lizabeth is going to have a sibling and when that day comes it will be great.
*hugs* if there is anything I can do let me know... I know some people don't think that a miscarriage is losing someone in your family, but i certainly see it as that. I haven't personally miscarried, but my son died almost two years ago, and if you want to read my blog during that time, feel free.
Really... let me know if there is anything I can do. :)
