On Friday we had a bit of a scare. I'll refrain from sharing the gory details, they involve me home alone thinking I had for sure just experienced a miscarriage. Rick and I spent the rest of Friday afternoon and evening paralyzed by fear, yet clinging to the hope that things were going to be OK. One anxiety filled drive to Denver early Saturday morning, an ultrasound, and blood work later we were told I am still pregnant. We were relieved to hear good news. I was put on bed rest for the weekend and told to take it easy until my next ultrasound a week from Tuesday. Unfortunately, my pregnancy is still in the early stages, so a heartbeat could not be detected from the ultrasound. They were able to see a gestational sac and a yolk, positive signs that things are going well. Hopefully, at the next ultrasound we will see a heartbeat. One thing we do know, (get ready to cash in on your winnings or fork over the dough you owe depending on your pick) we are NOT having twins. Sorry Grandma, no "Mickey and Minnie" like you suspected. Here's our first ultrasound picture. It isn't much to look at, but it's everything to us.
Lucky for me, I started knitting again! At least I've got something to do to pass the time. If you are in need of a scarf (and ONLY a scarf) holler at me! Rick has already asked for a hat and I'm sweating just thinking about figuring that one out!
