It has been a difficult week at the Brooks' house. Strange, Josh has worked 8-5 all week because he has been in classes. We have had A LOT of Daddy time which couldn't not have fallen at a more needed time!!! God's timing is perfect!
Tuesday night we were out enjoying some a visit to Lowe's picking out shower tiles and I was looking at ideas for my birthday money (backyard plants and new light fixtures for the house). I started cramping and when we got home I started spotting. Nothing major.....I talked to my Aunt and my dr....nobody was worried. I went to bed. When I woke up at 5am Wednesday morning I knew something was wrong. I was bleeding and cramping. I waited until Stephanie woke up, took her to Rebecca's and then called my dr to let them know I was on my way and someone would need to see me.
My dr saw me right away. They did a sono and my AWESOME dr told me that I was either not as far along (which I knew my conception date) or else I was losing the baby. So at that point I knew what was coming....a miscarriage. By 10am I knew for sure I was losing the baby. I stayed home from work Wednesday and Thursday resting (I slept A TON). Friday morning I went back to the dr for blood work and to talk to him about what I had been through Wednesday and Thursday. He said that it sounded like I should be done and on the mend (good!)
Friday night I started to bleed again so I called the dr. They asked me to come into the ER (NO FUN!) So I went in, they did a bunch of tests and said not to worry. I had gone through a complete miscarriage, no D&C was needed and I was free to work in my yard, go back to work and whatever else. **They normally wouldn't have someone go to the ER but since I was on Progesterone it can cause problems with clotting and stuff.
So I named our little angel Hope. I figured since my Aunt Tetti never got to have a baby before she went to heaven I would let her take care of Hope :) Josh and I are both doing pretty good. We talked alot Wednesday, talked to God and are looking forward to trying again (the dr said to wait a few months).
Thanks for your thoughts and prayers! Our journey is one that many go through. Below is a post of a friend who went through two.....het letter is amazing and makes me thankful we lost out little one early in the pregnancy which made it as easy as I think possible. She is now pregnant and doing well....God's timing is perfect.
