What a week!!

So I've been super worried about miscarrying, for no real good reason other than it's happened to a lot of women close to me lately, so when I started getting cramps Sunday I just kept telling myself "it's fine, it's normal, don't stress out about it, it's nothing." When I had some light spotting Monday and then again on Tuesday, self-talk was useless, it was all I could do to keep myself together! So I called my dr as calmly and I could muster myself, and they told me to come in for some blood work, so thanks AGAIN to Ketty for taking Elizabeth while I went and did that. It was sooo not fun as my veins just suck, and being the nervous wreck that I was they were even harder to find, it took three tries and they finally had to get a special butterfly needle from the ER!! But they got it. Wed morning they called and said I have a positive blood type(which I was fairly certain I did)so the RH factor wasn't a factor. But that my pregnancy hormone was a bit lower than they expected to see for someone at almost 8 weeks, so they scheduled an ultra-sound mostly to reassure me and the dr a little. Thanks to Sandy for coming and staying with Liz for this, it helped us out so very much!! Of course I'm not far enough along yet to get the heartbeat from the outside, you could see the tiny little bouncing bean, but that's it, so they had to go in, which wasn't nearly as bad as I was psyching myself up for it to be, and right away they got the heartbeat good and strong, I exhaled for the first time all week! The only oh say odd thing they found was that, and your not going to believe this...The embryo measured a week smaller than the Gestational Sac!! Surprise surprise! Lizabeth probably did too at that stage but I didn't have an ultrasound that early so I didn't learn about Elizabeth's small size til my first ultrasound with her. Once I informed them that she never measured up to my Uterus either they said it's not all that uncommon, so here's hoping another little baby is on the way, and that it doesn't hit a huge growth spurt and become a big baby on me!
Then Yesterday Elizabeth woke up with a fever, and a runny nose, and by the end of the day had a deep raspy voice. Poor girl she wanted so badly to suck on her binky but found it difficult as she couldn't breathe through her nose!! We gave her some Tylenol to bring her fever down, cleaned out her nose a few times that day, and set up the humidifier next to her crib, and it seems to have helped as she had a much lower grade fever, and her nose was less stuffy and more runny, which is better for her but harder for me! She was much more like her busy self today as well which is nice to see. I must admit I loved all the cuddles I got from her yesterday, but that was my sure sign she really wasn't feeling well, cause she stops for very little! Well that's our week!!
