First, I had my doctor appointment yesterday. Sat in the waiting room (with all 3 kiddos) for at least a half an hour. And you know you only see the doctor for like 5 minutes, if even! The doctor's aren't even the ones to listen to the heartbeat anymore!?!? And I think I'm a bit sad because I didn't get to see my 'normal' doc. I sure will miss him! Anyway when I asked about my ultrasound she mentioned something abut the radiologist noting something about blood and possibly leading to an abruption. Then she said both she and some fetal specialist looked at the picture but didn't see anything so she doesn't think its anything to worry about. Well lady, you must not know my history with my past pregnancies! Not like I really worried, I really believe all will be fine with my baby, but I did have an abruption with Malachi. So, in the back of my mind I began to wonder... When I told Zach about it he was quite miffed and wondered why they didn't do another ultrasound to be sure. As soon as I got home (hours later) I called our dear doctor friend from church and he reassured me that all was fine. He didn't see the ultrasound but he said its common to have a spot of blood behind the placenta and that if I were going to have an abruption I would have had it then. Thanks Dr. Sams! It was comforting to talk to him, somebody I know and can trust. I certainly hope the doctor I find in Iowa will be as good as Dr. Sams and Dr. Allen.
Yesterday I also brought in the Suburban to get fixed. Did I mention before that it will cost about $5,000 and take about 2 weeks? So they got us in a rental car...a Mitsubishi Galant. Kinda fun to drive. Good thing we only have 3 kiddos so far so we can all fit in it!
I think I pretty much went through every square inch of the house to get rid of things. I wanted to post an ad in the newspaper for the garage sale but it will cost anywhere from $20-30!!! Is that CRAZY or what??? I really just want to get a lot of traffic- I'd like to get rid of stuff AND make some money! So I guess I'll have to post signs in many different places or something...
We only have 3 history lessons left! We should finish math and Princess' spelling next week! I think whatever I don't finish with Little Man's phonics I'll just pick up on in August before he begins 1st grade. I just want school to be over already! Especially when we have so many other things going on right now!
Oh, I decided to read the book about adoption. It is really good so far. Hopefully I can finish it before my friend Jamie comes to visit so that I can give it to her (she adopted from Russia like this family did).
I know there was more I was going to type but I forgot what! My friend came over with her almost 2 month old daughter! It was so nice to see her- I hadn't seen her since she had the baby! The kiddos sure loved seeing the baby and Cuddly Boy wanted to rock her in her seat and hold her! It was so precious! I can't wait to see how they'll be with their new sister!

Why would they even mention being initially concerned about an abruption and then tell you that it was nothing to be concerned about? Wouldn't it have been better to not even say anything about it than to concern you over nothing?!? I don't understand dr's sometimes!
I hope everything goes good with your rummage sale! :)
I'm glad all is fine. I was in and out of the hospital when I was pregnant with my daughter, and almost every time was from an incorrect ultrasound. The stress was incredible.
Good luck with the rummage sale. I hope you make a ton!
Try craigslist for the garage sale. Don't know how popular it is down there but it works up here.
I hope you find a good doc too. I can't imagine not feeling comfortable with my doctor. I usually the same one, but I really liked all the docs in my office.
Oh and I would hate having to sit in the waiting room with 3 kids, even for a half an hour. It was so annoying to have to wait when I had Daniel with me, especially when the room filled up, he would just get so much more anxious.
Sister? Sister?~! I must have missed that you were having a Beautiful, Baby GIRL! How fun! You will have "bookend" girls...at least for a little while!
I hope you get a lot of "business" for your garage sale and get rid of lots of stuff that you no longer need/want!
I had placenta abruption with Eric at 32 weeks. I was having horrible pains a week before and then started bleeding and spent 8 days in the hospital for pre-term labor...they never did an official ultrasound with a real doctor so no one saw it. They released me on Labor Day (of all days) and I was back the next morning getting an emergency c-section. I think it is good that they are saying something to you..that means they are taking precautions. I had no clue. Hope everything works out well!
You sure do have the bad luck with the uneeded pregnancy drama. Thank God your doctor says everything will be ok.
You sure are busy busy busy! I never do gargage sales becuase they are too much work. I donate everything and then just claim it on our taxes. I'm sure I'd make more with a sale - I'm just too lazy and don't want to store stuff up.
Good luck with your sale....they are so much work but it feels good to see stuff walking out of the garage...esp when you won't have to move it.
Strange on telling you abruption and then saying it's nothing to worry about...why even bring something like that up?
I love the clean out before each PCS! I always feel like I have gotten rid of so much until we unpack on the other end:)
Time will fly! Enjoy and I hope you find wonderful HS friends and a church family at your next assignment. I know they are out there - I have found them here in Alaska!
