Sad News

Just wanted to let everyone know that I lost the baby on Monday. I started bleeding and they did an ultrasound and found that he/she stopped growing at 8 weeks (I was 10 weeks). My D & C is scheduled for today.

I truly believe everything happens for a reason. Ryan and I have been thru so much together. This is just another step. I believe we will try to get pg again in the future after all wounds (physically and mentally) have healed. The kids (especially Ba) do not understand. It is hard to explain something to a 5 yr old when I don't even understand why it happened.

Please say a prayer for us. I will update in a day or two.

My Legs Are Bored

The other day my Mom asked Ba to pick up all her toys that were laying in the floor. Ba said, as she was sitting on the edge of the bed, "Memaw, my legs are just too bored, I can't do it."

Today, my legs are bored as well as my entire body. Can I go home and crawl back into bed?????

Just for Fun

We have decided if the baby is a girl then we will name her Mallee Amanda after both mine and Ryan's Grandma's.

If it is a boy we like Conlee. But, we have yet to agree on a middle name. Does anyone have any suggestions for us?

First Ultrasound

I have my first ultrasound today at 10. Wish me luck. I did have a confirmation ultrasound 3 weeks ago but all that we saw was a little dot on the screen. Hopefully things go well.

Updates:

P: P has always been obsessive about certain toys or objects. He will carry something specific around with him everywhere and will go into hysterics if misplaced or lost. When he was little he had a little Woody doll from Toy Story. Now, he is obsessed with the matchbox cars and little skateboards. The kid carries them everywhere. Even to school. He is allowed to carry one in his pocket. Kids are so funny.

Ba: She is enjoying her time staying with Mamaw. She is a coloring fool. She does very beautiful artwork, but of course only when Br is asleep. While attending ABC she made friends with a boy named Zeke. He came to her b-day party in Oct. When we came home Tues there was an invitation to his b-day party this weekend. On Wed there was a knock at the door. It was Zeke and his Mom. They just wanted to make sure that Ba got the invitation and wanted to see her. Aren't crushes the cutest? His Mom said that all Zeke talks about is Bay. We are sooooo going to have our hands full when she gets to the dating age.

Br: My wild man. He is always looking for something to get into. If he isn't climbing, running, throwing, yelling or fighting, then he is sleeping. His vocabulary has exploded. His favorite phrase is "what doing?"

Other things going on: Mom, Ryan and myself have been battling a horrible head cold sinus thing. It is miserable. Head pounding, nose stuffed up and then draining. I'm soo ready for summer to be here.

Hope everyone is doing great. Leave me a comment or message sometime. I would love to hear from ya.
