Redo

The past two days, I definitely would have liked to hit a big "redo" button.  G Man's tummy issues have finally subsided, thank goodness.  Again, so thankful that this is not our norm around here!

Yesterday he was, for lack of a better explanation, acting very two and a half.  He woke up in a mood and proceeded to throw a two hour tantrum off and on (not exaggerating) because I requested that he pick the couch pillows off the floor (that he threw) before he was given the iPad.  I'm a real stickler, I know.  ;)  I'm thinking maybe the iPad needs to take a hiatus for a while.

P.S. Please tell me that you've seen this!

He was in a mood all.day.long and if I wasn't knocked up, I would have chugged one (or three) Lime-A-Ritas before noon.  Okay, so maybe that's an exaggeration, but I was desperate for a glass of wine or something when dinner time rolled around.  I settled for some OJ with Sprite because that's totally the same thing, right?! ;)

Thankfully he woke up in his usual cheery mood this morning and yesterday's tantrums were soon forgotten.  Then I went to the bathroom and fa-reaked out upon seeing blood tinged urine (sorry if that's TMI).  I never experienced that with my first pregnancy and could only think of the worst.  I set up an appointment with my doc, called into work, and dropped G off at school.

I didn't have to wait long before my name was called, and my doctor came in with the doppler and immediately found the heartbeat.  Whew (understatement)!  He took a little look-see (again, sorry if that's TMI) to investigate the cause of the bleeding and said that it's just old blood.  (1) Whew and (2) Ewwww, what???  Apparently it's not abnormal and there is nothing to be concerned about unless it is bright red, gushing blood.  He did not make me feel silly at all for coming in and took the time to explain and show me diagrams (He's a thorough one, I'll give him that!).

While pregnant with G, I was blissfully naive of the thought of miscarriage.  Now that I read lots of "mom" blogs and personally know people who have experienced one, I feel that I am hyperaware of something bad happening.

This morning was definitely another reminder of what a miracle pregnancy is and how precious life is.  I can't wait to hold this little peanut in my arms come October!
