Happy New Year

I really can't say that I'm sad to see 2009 go. This year has been one of the most challenging of my life, but I have also learned a lot about myself, my life and the importance of the people who we hold close to us. I am looking forward to 2010 and the new adventures ahead. Here are a few pictures of the Stink Bug from this morning. I can't believe how much she's changed this year.

For reference, here are a few of her from Christmas 2008. Oh, what a difference a year makes!

A quick snap from Christmas

We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!

Christmas Picture Day in her New Glasses!

The Vocal Styling of Riley

If you can understand the lyrics, they are hilarious.

Update

We had our Level 2 ultrasound with the specialist today. She believes that I have Placenta Accreta. It isn't possible to diagnose it 100% without an MRI so that is the next step. I'll post more info soon.

Happy Halloween!

We hope everyone had a safe and Happy Halloween. We had a ton of fun. Riley was the cutest Batgirl EVER. No, I'm not biased ;)

I may have had to sit around on the couch, but I did so in a pirate costume. (oh and yes, Mike is wearing eyeliner. LOL)

Well That Didn't Last Long

Friday, Oct 23 I starting having heavy bleeding at work. I called the doctor and they told us to go straight to Labor & Delivery. That is a scary place to be when you're only 22 weeks pregnant.

We were admitted and spent the night in the hospital to watch. Further testing showed (what we already knew) I had a low-lying placenta and the pressure of the baby on my placenta was causing the bleeding. The only way to stop the bleeding is for me to stay off of my feet and reclined at least 45 degrees. You know what that means...more bedrest.
