Update




So I am really horrible at keeping this page updated. PLEASE check out my caringbridge page that has a journal where I have done a MUCH better job of keeping up on things. But for those that don’t know, here are some highlights:

• June 3rd- Started bleeding again
• June 6th- Major Ultra Sound, we found out we are having a girl






• June 22nd- 3 official weeks of absolutely NO bleeding at all, not even brown
• June 23rd-26th- Kent Hutchings’ reunion Jason and I were in charge of. I was permitted to go from Dr. Beatty
• June 27th-July 2nd- Jason at Scout Camp (important cause he missed the next 2 things)
• June 27th- Started bleeding again
• June 29th- Hospital visit for contractions that lasted 5 hours, but stopped as soon as I went to the hospital.
• July 6th- Another big Ultra Sound and cute pics of baby Beaker
• July 12th- 9th wedding anniversary, didn’t even see each other that whole day.
• July 24th- More bleeding, went to hospital since Dr. Beatty said to after 24 weeks, everything ok, released right after.
• July 29th- Found out Jason was getting demoted at work and we were going to loose ½ his income, very disheartening and hard
• Aug 1st-5th- Jason in LA (important cause he missed the next thing)
• Aug. 2nd- Worst bleeding yet and admitted into hospital
• Aug. 2nd-4th- Hospital Stay, released when bleeding went back to ugly nasty brown. Diagnosed as having Chronic Abruption (meaning my placenta doesn’t want to stay attached and will keep coming off, don’t know when it will completely come off)
• Aug. 17th- Big Ultra Sound again, not much was found, things seem ok.


• Throughout Aug and Sept- Bleeding every 4-5 days, but not bad enough to go to hospital. Beginning to be a regular thing
• Aug. 30th- Started twice a week testing at hospital. They monitor baby and measure amniotic fluid to make sure she is not in distress and placenta is still working normal.
• Sept. 2nd- Missed sister’s wedding in Mesa AZ and her reception next night, whole family was there except me.
• Sept. 10th- Able to attend sister’s wedding reception in Elk Grove and spend time with her and hubby
• Sept. 15th- (yes tomorrow), Jason will have colonoscopy to see if we can figure out his bowels

And, the most important thing, I am scheduled for a c-section on October 25th. My doctor nor I think I will make it that far, but if nothing else, I will definitely be done with my pregnancy by then!
