I will start by saying that on Sunday I woke up and was bleeding a little. It really freaked me out. I called the doctor on call and he said that since I haven't had any heavy bleeding or severe cramping, it is alright, just don't do anything strenuous. I decided to stay home from church since I was already not feeling so good (since I am still pretty sick). I stayed in bed all day and finally when Brett and Addison came back from church, I decided to get up and get ready to go to stake choir....I had to get out of the house, and sitting and singing isn't strenuous. After choir, I was standing up and something very scary happened. Needless to say, there was A LOT of blood. I was extremely scared. Again, the doctor said that since I hadn't had any severe cramping and the blood stopped right away things should be okay. I had Brett give me a blessing and I stayed in bed and decided to call my doctor for an apt first thing in the morning. I got into the nurse practitioner on Monday and she did an ultrasound and found the baby and saw a heartbeat. She said because of that she thought it looked okay and when I go into my regular doctor appointment on Wednesday she can see if there is anything more to be worried about.
On Wednesday, Brett and I went to the doctor for the ultrasound. She said that everything looks good and there is nothing that would cause concern. I had stopped bleeding and the baby was moving and we could see the heartbeat. She measured the baby and found that I am 9 weeks along. My due date is August 30th, which is 10 days after Addison's birthday. Here is a picture of our little "alien peanut", as I lovingly call it.
When everything happened on Sunday, it was great to see how many people in our ward called and talked to us and cared. I am sure that we were so blessed by their prayers. We are excited for the next 31 weeks....although I am sure they will go by way too slow. :)

Congratulations! On Sunday the bishop said to keep you in our prayers and luckily your husband was sitting in front of me so I could ask what was wrong! I didn't know you were expecting! YEAH FOR YOU! I am sorry for all the scary bleeding, ugh! Hang in there and please let me know if I can bring you dinner or whatever!
You're right, HE does look like an alien peanut. You like how I emphasized the HE part? :-) I think that President Hinckley Stagg is very cute. Ha ha...see you soon sis!
