Dr appointment

Tuesday morning we went to the dr. He said that so far Im healing well. He said that I will probably bleed from 3 days to a week and a half. Hopefully it will end sooner then later. He said if Im still bleeding in two weeks to go back and they will make sure all is ok. I have to go back in two to three weeks to have a pregnancy test done to make sure it is negative. If its positive then he wants to do some testing to make sure my HCG levels are going down. If not it means that the placenta might still be in there now. So far only mild cramping is going on. Basically feels like a period. Oh joy! Anyways, he said that once I have a period, which not whats going on right now, that I will be ok to try again to get pregnant. He said they use to tell women 2-3 months, but they are finding that the first period takes care of everything. So, God willing, baby number 2 will come soon. Chloe and Josiah will be here some day.

Emotionally Im doing ok. Better then I thought I would. Dont get me wrong, I miss my baby alot but it helps knowing CJ is in the Lord's hand's and being loved and completely healthy. Plus I've had a lot of love and support and prayers from all of you-which I am grateful for. I think that has helped also. I have been able to talk to some people and hear their stories and its really helped me out. And I've prayed a lot! In a way, I knew it was coming, so I prayed for CJ and I left it in God's hands, and kinda prepared myself for what might come. Some people would say thats giving up and that I didnt fight. Not true, I prayed hard that my child would be ok and that something else would be wrong, but realistically, I was bleeding more then I should, and I knew something was wrong. Thank you all for you kind words and for being an ear if I needed one. Thank you for all your prayers. Jacob and I plan on being a little more deliberate in the things we do to prepare for baby number 2. Like I will stop all meds Sept 1st, will eat more fruit and veggies, no caffine or aspartame, and we are praying now for a healthy baby. Even if we dont get pregnant right away, keep your eyes on the blog. I will still post things that are on my mind and things going on in our lives. I kinda like having this blog thing to keep people updated! Thanks for praying, and God Bless!
