The last 2 weeks since we updated have been very busy with church camp and the preparations for it. This past week while a camp we had one of the scariest things ever happen to me but thankfully we know everything is ok. But while at camp Wednesday morning about 6:30am one of the girls woke up and told me the had to go to the bathroom so I got up and walked with them. When I got closer to the bathroom I thought my prometrium pill was coming out but when I got in the bathroom blood just gushed out. So of course I was freaking out but I didn't want to scare the girl so I sent her back up to the cabin while pretending everything was fine. Thankfully Tanya, one of the other youth leaders, came walking to the bathroom and I started trying to tell her what was happening. Of course it was really hard for her to understand me but after a few tries she finally knew what was going on. As she walked me up the cabin to grab my stuff she was just walking beside me with her arm around me praying out loud while I was just sobbing. She got her husband to wake up Zack and we both took off for SOMC ER. We did learn we can make it to the hospital in 15 minutes or less so when I go into labor we already know now. They did an ultrasound and the babies both looked great. They wouldn't let me see the screen(which just upset me more) but Zack was able to so thankfully he was able to watch them kick and squirm. And afterward she did show me a 4D picture of the babies which actually was pretty awesome. They did run a bunch of blood work too and found nothing to be wrong and gave me no reason as to why it happened. They put me on bed rest for the next 24 hours which is very hard for me to sit still but I got an outside chair that laid out and took it to camp so I could just hang out there with the kids. I know you may be wondering why I would want to share this personal of a story. But its because with everything that happened I just keep replaying Tanya walking me to the cabin and praying. And while of course I was panicking at the same time there was this sense of everything will be ok that had come over us, which I know is a direct result of her praying, I know the timing was really bad while being at camp but I thank God for allowing us to be there because had we been by ourselves I don't think I would have had that immediate reminder that God's got this. I thank God for giving us such good christian friends that we can count on in bad times. Instead of making it about herself by her freaking out too and me having to get her to believe everything will be fine, instead she just prayed! She could have told me everything was going to be fine but thats not what I need to hear. Her not actually saying anything and just praying gave me more of a comfort than anything else could have!
On Friday I had an appointment at Kettering. Again both the babies look great and they are both over 1.3 inches long. It is hard to believe the difference in how much they have grown and how much they are moving and kicking now. They have grown so much, they are both side by side now instead of one over top the other. Their heart rates are starting to go back down now as they will continue to do but Baby A was 167.38 bpm and Baby B was 165.83 bpm. He also checked for anything that could have caused bleeding and found now issue. He said that most people don't get an explanation but for us our explanation is just that its twins. So he was not concerned and said not to panic if it happens again. Below is our ultrasound picture its hard to get a good picture of them both at the same time but on the picture the baby on left(Baby B) you can start to see the forming of ears which is really neat!
I only have one appointment left at Kettering, which means I will be graduating in 2 weeks up to a regular OBGYN. So over the next 2 weeks I am going to be weaning my self off of my prometrium pills, baby aspirin, and I already stopped my progesterone injections on Friday! I have my first appointment at Dr. Roberts in Portsmouth on the 28th so I am excited that I will finally be considered a normal patient then! But everyone please pray that I have no more bleeding because even though everything is fine I would rather not have that scare again!
