Pregnancy Update.

I know everybody is anxious to know all the details of my pregnancy, (OK not really) but I need to put them up for journaling purposes. On Friday January 25 I had an ultra sound scheduled just to check up on things. About a half hour before the ultra sound I had the most intense stomach cramps start. I called Ryan and he came and got me for the appt. We did the ultra sound and then I came home, hoping the pain would just ease. Shortly after I got home I started hemorrhaging. We rushed back into the Dr. they looked at the ultra sound and found that I have a very large blood clot lodged between the uterus and the placenta. This is keeping the placenta from attaching completely, in fact not a lot of the placenta is attached. They had a stern conversation with me that right now the baby looks good but it will be a few weeks before they know for sure if baby will survive. Also there was a great deal of concern with how much blood I was loosing. They told me if I continued to hemorrhage the way I was we would need to terminate the pregnancy. My heart broke, I just could not think of choosing to have this pregnancy end, that is my baby and I am so attached. They sent me home on bed rest while monitoring my blood levels to make sure I am OK. I went back into the Dr on Monday, and the good news is the baby is still doing great! Such a relief. And I have stopped hemorrhaging! However since so little placenta is attached I will stay on bed rest and they will be doing ultra sounds every 2 weeks to monitor the blood clot. The hope is they the blood clot will dissipate and the placenta will attach better. As of right now I am on moderate bed rest until I reach 36 weeks, I am at 15 now, this could change however if the placenta fully attaches. We are so grateful that as of right now the baby is doing well. I am doing my best to stay down and get lots of rest, which is not an easy task with 5 kids. We are thankful for such a great ward and families that are doing everything that they can to help us.  We know that prayers can be answered and we are so thankful for all the prayers that have been offered on behalf of our family! Thank You to everyone for your concern, prayers and help.
