Week 14 – Skeletor
My last ultrasound was on May 3rd when I hit the 14 week mark. Yes me know. I’m a bit behind. Last week I got an email from thebump.com giving me an update on my physical status telling me that my organs are probably getting squished by now and that I will probably start to have a hard time breathing.
Um, hello? That kicked in like 2 months ago! Work with me! I am smaller. Just in size, weight, and frame that I guess it does make sense that my organs have been pushed up a lot earlier. You know, this is how I kind of suspected I was pregant! I had a hard time breathing after eating suhlung tang and I wasn’t even done with my bowl! I am now most definitely showing. It’s a nicely formed bump. I really think it’s a girl. Hahaha… which reminds me that the hubs and I didn’t make an actual wager as to what the lucky guesser will win.
Anyways yesterday as I was leaving work I stopped by the bathroom on my way out. When I went to wipe there was some spotting. I started to cry in the stall. Then I cried some more as I washed my hands. Then I cried all the way to Zoe’s daycare. My worry was that I was miscarrying. I ran into my friend Theresa, who was also at the daycare to pick up her daughter and I lost it again. She made me feel better. She’s a nurse. I went home, called my doctor who advised me to come in the next morning. I went in this morning and everything looked fine. The doctor thinks if anything it’s because my placenta is still sitting low. When I heard the baby’s heartbeat it was SUCH a relief. It was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard at that moment.
I was feeling so down last night as I was sitting on my bed getting Zoe ready to sleep. She sat facing me while staring at my belly. She patted it gently and said “Nice, nice, baby. Hi baby. Are you ok?” I told her the baby was ok and I told her “Zoe, tell the baby ‘I’m waiting for you.’” She leans over and goes “I waiting for you. I wanna give baby a beeg hug.” And then she hugged my belly.
While this incident happened yesterday at work, the hubs was on flight to Costa Rica for a bachelor party yesterday. His best friend, Pinky, im’ed me today and told me that they got in ok and asked if I need to speak to him at all. I im’ed back and wrote yes, that I had some bleeding yesterday and I cried all the way home and to have him call me on my cell. Pinky relayed the message and C called me and after I told him everything was ok he said that when he read what I wrote on the im that he started to tear. I love my husband.
So praise God that the baby is ok!

i’m so glad your little bean is ok! i practically teared up myself, especially after reading how your husband reacted. too sweet for words.
same here. i’m a big sap myself and got all teary that hubby got teary.
i’m happy to hear everything is ok!!
aw so glad everything is ok and your hubby is so sweet!
awwww, i think the first stages or even being pregnant is the scariest for me………..as for the spotting, i was the same way…even all the way up to 13 weeks…its probably you doing to much…try not to lift up to much or exhaust yourself…as my doctor advised me…………but like you, all looked well and Gracie is here, healthy and strong…soon to be 2 in Aug…Can you believe that?…anyways, baby is looking good…and oh, i can’t wait till Zoey becomes a big sister…she’s gonna be so much and always so helpful…lol………..BTW, DID YOU FIND OUT THE SEX?….I found out around 13 weeks…doctor got a good idea and of course he was right…………take it easy and say hi to Zoey!….
OMG as I was reading your spotting and crying moments I was totally on the edge of my seat, please don’t scare us like that again. During my pregnancy, while @ work I found out my sister in-law blabbed to everyone that I was pregnant after I told her not to say anything until I’m at least into my 2nd trimester. Anyways, I got super upset because I had a bit of spotting and was secretly scared my baby wasn’t healthy. That same night, I was VERY upset and I began to bleed (like fresh cut flesh blood). I had to go to the hospital and they did all sorts of tests on me for the next week. The doctor ended up telling me “you might be miscarrying”, and I had to keep going for tests and ultrasounds. But in the end my hormones were still rising, slowly, and I ended up having 9 ultrasounds all together. But my point is, please please please keep positive no matter what because your positive energy and sunny thoughts truly keeps your little bundle happy and safe.
I’m so happy to hear you and Baby are okay
That must have been really scary.
how scary. glad to know the baby’s okay.
i’m glad to hear that you and baby are okay! ..i was getting nervous when i was reading your emotions/experience and when your hubby teared…btw..Zoe is so cute! She’s going to be a great big sister
phew! thank God! take it easy and try not to chase and carry around the zoeski too much
I am so happy to hear that everything is okay. Zoe is too cute as well as your hubs, too sweet!!
so happy to hear everything’s all right ho
I had that same scare with donovan at about the same stage. I will never forget it. In my case the blood was enough to saturate a liner. I flipped out and my husband could have gone psycho in the ER when we were told to wait! I understand the scare!
I’m glad to hear u and baby are ok!
aw I’m so glad you’re both okay! *hugs*
that’s great that you are both are ok! i hope the rest of your pregnancy is uneventful!
what a terrible scare…It must have been extra scary esp with your husband away… I’m glad to hear that the baby is okay, tho!! (btw, belated congrats on baby #2!)
glad you and bb are oki!!! you should get a doppler to feel better.
Yes Praise God!! I teared up reading ur post tonight! and Zoe such a cutie…take care of urself!
big *hugs* praying that baby will be ok…
Glad to hear you are ok…hope the most exciting thing for the rest of your pregnancy is gas and heartburn!
I’m glad to hear everything is okay! You need to take it easy. It is so easy to overexert yourself with the 2nd pregnancy compared to the first one. I had a scare too a couple of months ago when the OB NP thought I was in pre-term labor. I cried all the way to the hospital thinking if the baby was born at that time, she wouldn’t have a fighting chance in surviving. Lucky for me it was a false alarm. Did found out that my cervix was super long and shut tighter than a clam. Good to know, huh
@joesee22 - so glad to hear that everything was ok. man it sucks right? like we don’t already have a lot of shit to worry about…. how far along are you?
praise God! what a scare. may God continue to be with you and give you peace and comfort during your pregnancy. prov 3:5-6
hey, if you ever need someone to babysit Zoe while you’re nursing baby #2, you know who to call!!
i’ll pray for your growing baby…for the baby’s health and that the baby thrives.
I’m so glad you’re both okay! I had a few episodes of bleeding this pregnancy, and with two losses in the past, they totally freaked me out! I’m so glad the baby is fine!
@PetiteMandoo - I’m 27 weeks along…I think. It’s so sad, I could tell you exactly how far along I was when I was pregnant with Matthew. This time I sorta know. How are you feeling?
@joesee22 - it is sad right? it’s NOTHING like the first. i’m ok. just tired. and i have a hard time breathing a lot. you’re 10 weeks ahead of me girl!
@PetiteMandoo - It’s a baby fest this year!
I’m glad you and your baby are doing well.
I’m so glad that you’re baby is okay. I see that a lot at my job and my heart skips a beat whenever a pregnant woman tells me that she is bleeding. I HATE HATE it, especially when it turns out bad. Anyways, your family is really sweet, and everything will be fine with the baby – Zoe is waiting for her sibling, right?
Thank God everything is OK. I’m glad your hubby’s back and Zoe is already being such a loving sister and daughter. I’ll be saying a prayer for your baby… take care
