A couple of days ago I had a scary thing happen. I know spotting is common in pregnancy which I've had plenty of but this time I passed a blood clot. My heart sank and I immediately called my doctor knowing this wasn't good. Last time this led to miscarriage for me so in the back of my mind I was preparing for the worst. I went the next day to my doctor's office and he put the heart monitor on my stomach to listen for babies heart beat. After attempting for about 3 minutes or so he couldn't find it. Again, my heart sank and I was sitting there prepared for terrible news. Luckily, he did an ultrasound on me to see that baby was doing well. The bad news is he has no idea by looking at the ultra sound what is causing the clots and said because I'm earlier than 20 weeks, there is nothing he can do to stop or prevent it from happening.
I came home feeling pretty discouraged but happy at the same time that I got to see baby wiggling around in there. Today I experienced more bleeding and some clotting so I'm taking the advice of the doctor and seeing if lying down helps to make a difference. The other funny part of the ultra sound was I thought I saw a penis! If so, that would make 10 great grandkids on the Hauenstein side of ALL boys! I may have mistaken it for the umbilical cord who knows. Please send happy thoughts to baby Sev! This pregnancy has definitely been a roller coaster. I look back at my pregnancy with Mason and it was soooooooo easy. I was pukey but besides that everything was smooth sailing. Maybe this happens when you reach the 30s? eek I hope not! Baby number 3 is not looking so promising at this point….not sure if I can go through these emotions again!
One thing that brightened my day today was seeing my nephew and sister. We met up in Saginaw to take the boys to the museum. It is absolutely amazing there and I would definitely suggest going if you have kids between the ages of 18months-5years old. Mason was having so much fun I could barely drag him out of there. Mandi and I took the boys to lunch at TGIfridays afterwards and that was definitely an interesting experience. Mason was attempting to houidini himself out of the chair while Landon was screaming. Some people looked at us like we were crazy but honestly, I could care less what people think!
I will leave you a picture of baby Sev at 14.5 weeks and Mason and Landon's adventure at the museum today. You be the judge if you can see a penis or not in the picture…lol. Have a great week!
