Woo Hoo!!

Okay almost everyone who knows me knows that I LOVE Harrison Ford. Adam sent me this picture and I started to "giggle like a school girl"




It's the first time since 1989 that he had that outfit on! The New Indiana Jones film will be out May 22, 2008. I know that I said after seeing Revenge of the Sith that I would NEVER do another midnight showing again...I might have to this time.

Holy Crap!

I had three of these things stuck on me. One on each shoulder. Tonight while I was talking to Adam I went to scratch the left side of my back. I said "what the--" and PULLED this off of me. This was on me ALL DAY and probably would have been on me all night if I didn't find it. We thought it was pretty funny.

Home

Just wanted to let you all know that I am home...We'll at the in laws (since they are in Hawaii and our house is a disaster). Today was almost a continuation of the circus that we have had the past couple of days. We were told to go to admissions and they are CLOSED on Saturday. So we had to go through the ER to register. I bit my tongue when someone at the ER desk said "A D&C is NOT surgery" from saying something rude, uncalled for and something that they would feel REALLY REALLY BAD. Then found out that the orders said only D&C and didn't explain why. So Adam had to tell the nurse (who was getting my history and I couldn't respond) on why I was having one. She felt SO bad about that. I told Adam to tell the Dr about that not being on the order.

Drugs are great. They put the shot in the IV and told me that it would take a couple of seconds. 3 seconds later (and he only put HALF in) I was saying "um...they are working" Adam told me goodbye as they were putting the rest in. I remember closing my eyes to blink and don't even remember seeing him leave I was out.

When I woke up they asked me what I wanted anything "Coke" is what I groaned...(Yes I have a caffeine addiction). They released me about 1:30 and I am awake and kind of alert (almost normal...well as normal as I can get). I have to see the Dr in two weeks.

Thanks again for all of your thoughts, prayers and vibes.

Phone Call

About four hours ago I got a phone call from the Dr. I was surprised that she called me from her cell phone but I was also happy that she took the time to do it. She told me how sorry she was about the communication between her staff and I. She told me that she was expecting to see me tomorrow at 7 and thought everything was set up. She was shocked to hear that I didn't know until almost the end of the day. "This person will be written up for this and if she does this again she will be fired" That is something that I think is very rare for a Dr to tell a patient but I could tell that she was very frustrated.

This is a drastic change from yesterday where I was wondering if I should use this Dr for the next time I get pregnant. I felt like I was being pushed aside and I had never been treated like that before from her. Family members thought it was very strange for me to be treated this way by the Dr. Adam was right and said you never know if she is even getting the messages or if she even knows what is going on.

As I keep on telling everyone Communication is the KEY and don't assume I know what is going on. My force abilities for mind reading isn't that strong!

WE ARE ON FOR TOMORROW

Okay tomorrow at 7am Adam and I have to be at the hospital. Since this is probably going to take most of the day (pre-op, operation, recovery) someone will probably post something tomorrow night. OUR CELL PHONES WILL BE OFF! PLEASE DO NOT CALL AND CHECK ON US. We love you all but we want to get this done and make sure everything is okay before we start contacting people.

Katie will be staying tonight with Grandma and Grandpa. Tomorrow at about 8AM Nana Teresa will be going over to their house to watch Katie. It will be easier to have her there so we won't have to rush around tomorrow morning.

We'll be okay. I keep telling myself that we will be okay. Thank you so much for all of your prayers, thoughts and vibes.

Love,
B, Adam, Katie Ellen and the puds

Questions Part 2

This is what we know now....

I'm expecting a phone call tomorrow from the Drs office or the hospital about surgery on Saturday. They have to get permission to have this done and the person there was not at the office. So sometime tomorrow we will know when it is (hopefully) going to be. Teresa will be watching Katie.

There were some bumps in the road today. It wasn't pretty and I was pretty upset. When a nurse asks "what seems to be the problem" I have a problem with that. Adam was about to call them and see what he could do.

So until tomorrow.

Questions

To answer everyones questions:

No I haven't gotten a call yet.

Yes I called the Dr at 2:45 and left a message for someone to call me. I stressed the fact that I was tired of waiting and I needed to know so I could have someone watch my child.

Since it is 4:30 I really do not think that this will happen tomorrow. Unless there was a total mix up which I doubt.

We are hanging in there. My break down was this morning (see "it's not fair" post on Postcards from the Pregnancy). Adam lasted an hour at work and couldn't take everyone coming in and saying "I'm so sorry"

We went to Gymboree and Katie played with Izzy. They also sang Happy Birthday to her.

Katie got her gift from Grandpa Keenan that will be used to get her new car seat after we have dinner with Nana Teresa.

I got flowers from my Dad and Bonnie. They are very nice.

Once again thanks for the thoughts, prayers and vibes for the next couple of days.

Good Day Dallas

Make sure to watch Good Day Dallas on Channel 4 tomorrow morning. They do birthdays and hopefully you'll see Katie's picture on there!

Sono (Not good news)

There isn't a good way to tell everyone this so here it goes.

Went to the OB for my appointment and a sono. Adam came with me for the appointment. The sono showed the baby but there wasn't a heartbeat. I knew something was wrong when I was asked "do not breathe" then I was asked "have you had any spotting?" she checked several times (and asked me several times not to breathe). She told me that she couldn't find a heartbeat. The whole time I'm praying to Mom (because she has more pull than God) to have everything be okay. Then the tech said "I'm sorry"

My Dr was out on call so I saw another Dr from the group. I was told my options. I will be going in for a D&C either Thursday or Friday. Tomorrow is Katie's first birthday I was NOT going to have that done on her birthday.

I knew that something was wrong sometime last week when I woke up and didn't feel like a truck ran over me or sick to my stomach until 1:00. I told myself that I was overreacting and not to be this paranoid. I wasn't this paranoid when I was with Katie and she was fine.

I'm hanging in there but I know that I'll have a breakdown soon. I've called family members and told them. Most of them said the same thing. Better it to happen now then later. I'm just thankful that Adam was there with me when I found out. So I'll leave it up to my Mom (because again...she has more pull than God) and we'll go down this road that she wants us to do.

Please keep us in your prayers for the next couple of days.
