I remember our first ultrasound with E. It was fantastic. I'm glad that you were able to get in more quickly than you thought you'd be able to. Waiting is so hard when your all hyped up on pregnancy hormones! That profile is definitely swoon-worthy.

And that puppy. Oh my. Too, too cute.

Jen... Thanks for the kudos on our house pics. I kind of doubt it will be so showroom worthy once the little one arrives. Am I right? Or will my OCD override my postpartum exhaustion? I'm actually quite curious to find out ...

And as for you, my dear .... 32 weeks!!!

Good goddess! Where did the time go?

I think I'm losing the baby. I started spotting on thursday and on friday night spent the night in the emergency room where we had an ultrasound and they confirmed the heart was still beating. They said to come back if it gets worse - but that basically there was nothing they could do.

Today the bleeding is worse with clots and I have had severe cramping for hours. I don't want to go back to the ER because on Friday we spent 3+ hours in the waiting room and if there's nothing they can do I'd rather be home.

I'll call my OB first thing monday and till then hope against hope that everything will still be ok - but I'm feeling really sad. :

I'm so, so sorry, pf. My thoughts are very much with you.

The first trimester is just such a fragile, unknowable time.

My little bean is in a danger zone, and I'm very scared. 7 week ultrasound on Friday showed a heart rate of only 110. They want me to come in again next week to follow up, but this seems very slow since "normal" is 120-160. Going back on Tuesday hoping for the best but preparing for the worst.

Big hugs to PF and healthy vibes to everyone else....
