Bed Rest

Well, I think most of you know by now but if you don't I am on bed rest. Thanks to two bleeding episodes this week, one on Monday that was not that bad and then again on Wednesday morning which was worse and really scared me. I immediately called the doc and they told me to come right in so my mother came and got me. We took Christian to my mother-in laws and headed to Galen. They did an ultrasound and little Clay looks like he is doing great. Dr. Kerley said that the ultrasound doesn't show everything they need to see about the placenta so since everything else looks OK he is wondering if that's the cause and they can't see it. He said that happens sometimes. I know that because that happened to my aunt. She bled for the first five months. Ultrasounds never showed anything but she kept having episodes so they finally put her on bed rest for the last 4 months and when she delivered they found a small tear in the placenta that the ultrasounds weren't showing. I go back next Wednesday and if I haven't bled anymore I think he will take me off and maybe I won't have any more. We are praying that the rest of this pregnancy will be normal. I really want to enjoy the holidays and all the activities with my family and have fun with my children. Jeff and I are suppose to go to Atlanta for a weekend to ourselves and to do some Christmas shopping. I really am looking forward to that trip. I hope we get to take it. Please Keep my family in your prayers. I haven't seen Christian in over 24 hours and I really miss him. I hope this week goes by fast. I give so much Thanks to our parents I don't know what I would do without them. They are helping so much and being so supportive. They are the best. I love them so much.
