23 weeks down...17 to go !!!!

Well, as you can see by the title, we were just heading into week 24. The countdown was on, ideas for a nursery theme were in full swing, names were being jotted down on little scrap pieces of paper, and the reality of the pregnancy was upon us, as the baby bump was beginning to grow at an obvious pace. There was definitely no turning back now...lol, but we were both so excited, and this was something so special for us to share.
We had decided to have a bit of an impromptu BBQ with some friends on the Sunday of the August long weekend, so I spent the day running back and forth between the grocery store and dollar store, getting everything that we would need. It was shortly before everyone was set to arrive, that I started feeling a bit tired, and a bit crampy, but honestly, I just figured I had taken on too much for the day and it was time to put my feet up. The feeling didn't stick around , and we had a great time !!!
The next morning, I woke up feeling a bit crappy again, only this time, it was more of that dull achy *period* pain ...and I thought it was nothing a nice warm bath wouldn't cure. I started running the bath, and ( here we go with the too much info part, so my apologies in advance )...had a quick pee, and when I went to wipe there was a bit too much blood for my liking, so a few tearful sobs later we were on our way to the hospital ...( small town hospital that does not deliver babies ), to see what was causing this. When we got there, there were a million people ahead of us, and I convinced Dave it was nothing, and that I just wanted to go home and rest...so we did. A few episodes of Seinfeld and a nap later, I was up again....and what happened next was something we were not prepared for !!!
