Quite a bit has happened since I last wrote.  About three weeks ago, we rushed to the ER due to a major bleed.  I was about to walk into the movie theater with the kids, when I felt blood rushing out of me.   I frantically called Chris and picked him up from work.  We dropped the kids off at a neighbor's house and made our way to the hospital.  I was sure it was a miscarriage...but after hours of tests and ultrasounds in the ER, they informed us the baby looked fine.   Not all good news though...I do have a large subchorionic hemorrhage.  They told me there's a 50/50 chance of a second trimester miscarriage...so be prepared!  My doctor was quite concerned and put me on modified bedrest until the hemorrhage heals...which could take the entire pregnancy...who knows?  I have to go into the doctor's every week for an ultrasound to monitor the bleed and the baby's growth.  I am hopeful that everything will be okay!  Being on bedrest has been quite interesting thus far.  I feel so helpless. Some days are better than others...some days, I feel downright depressed.  But, we will get through this the best we can!  I try to occupy my time with good books, family history, and naming contests.  My sweet parents and niece, Vera, traveled all the way down here to help with the kids, since I cannot do much.  Sadly, they have to leave in a couple days, at which point my ward family will be coming in to help.  I am so grateful for the Relief Society and their eagerness to serve.  I have felt great love and support during this time.  Sixteen weeks and counting.
