More News

Well we had another Dr's apt the other day and got some not so fun news. I have what is called "placenta previa". It means my placenta is covering the cervix. It is a high risk for a miscarriage and also, if it doesn't get corrected, I will be having a c-section. It is actually a common thing with a lot of pregnancies but usually corrects itself before the third tri-mester. We just entered the 2nd at 12 wks and 3 days, so the Doctor has put me on "pelvic rest" (shot out to my homie Ashleigh woot woot lol). So, Friday I had to stop working and will be for at least 6 wks until they do another ultrasound to see whats going on. Stopping work was quite the shock and we are having to do a little "financial adjusting" so it should be interesting. I can't drive a lot or walk around so this sitting around in the house basically doing nothing all day just might kill me. Adalie isn't too hard to watch and doesn't really need to be picked up anymore so we should be okay in that department. I am just so used to doing stuff....I don't know what to do all day at home by myself lol. Anywho, sorry about all the bad you have been hearing about lately. Hopefully things will pick up soon!!

Oh no...I am so sorry Lydia! At least you made it out of the first trimester ok...that's always a good sign, right?! I hope the problem corrects itself with time. I do more than I should on pelvic rest but I've been able to find time to be an avid reader. If you need any recommendations for good books, I can help you out :) Good luck Lydia and I really hope that everything works out well.

Good luck. I hate bed rest! Make sure you let people know what you need! Like if you just need a visitor to talk and keep you sane call someone! Hope everything works out.
