Update

Thank you for all your prayers and concern. It means so much to me.

Although I've been completely wiped out and still a bit nauseous, I haven't had any more bleeding. At this point, I'm confident that the little peanut is alive and well, but I won't feel 100% better until I've heard the heart beat. I have an appt Tuesday, but I'm going to try to get in tomorrow. I'm not sure if they'll take me since I don't have any of the symptoms they told me to look for, but I want some relief, so maybe they'll take me a day early? I'll let you know.

Again, thank you for checking on me. We managed to put up our Christmas tree yesterday. I'm sad I don't have any pictures of Thanksgiving or us putting up the tree (my camera battery was dead), but I'll make up for it in the coming weeks. Olivia is thrilled we have a Christmas tree in our house, and she's been taking off the ornaments, kissing them, and putting them back up in random places.

Oh, oddly enough, in the midst of me being sick, Olivia decided she wanted to nurse. I think it was a comfort thing because she was upset I was "coughing" (she said I was coughing whenever I threw up). We managed to distract her because I really don't have much milk. I just thought it was interesting that after all these weeks, she still remembers. It's something I'll always treasure.

Now, I'm just praying I'll still have the chance to nurse this precious baby. I really believe I will.

I'm glad that the bleeding has subsided. I hope you feel 100% better very soon! We decorated our tree yesterday (Sunday, 11/25) & put up all our lites & decorations outside (we got our tree on Fri. but haven't been able to decorate it til Sun. I'm going to post pics of it soon :) That's sweet that Olivia wanted to nurse~that's a special bond between you 2 & she was trying to make you feel better :) What a sweet girl she is :) I'm continuing to pray for you & please keep us updated about your appt. & what they say :)

Gosh, that is a scary ordeal. I never knew you could bleed like that because of throwing up! Good to know though. Glad you are better.

I cannot *believe* that after going through all that, you actually managed to put up your Christmas tree! LOL! :) You're amazing! I'm glad to hear that you're doing LOTS better (how is James?), and I hope that Olivia won't come down with anything. Are you spraying everything down with Lysol? hehe :) I've been holding good thoughts for you. Can't wait to hear what your appointment today brings (hopefully good news).

Still thinking of you and the baby, Hannah. I hope everything went OK today.

I'm soooo sorry you had to go through such a scary thing. My thoughts/prayers are with you and your baby!! I hope it will help you to know that I went through the same thing with Tabby and that obviously ended very well (they think my bleeding was caused by a vaginal ultrasound!!). Hang in there and feel better soon.
