Note: Everything is fine now

But it didn't seem like that on Fri when I started bleeding. Not a lot, but more than there should have been--and it was, well, on the red side. So, yes, there was worry. I couldn't find any of the numbers for my OB's office and neither could 411, so I called H at a party and had her look it up. I page the Ob on call abt 8pm and she calls me back very quickly (v. happy with this office so far) and we talk abt what's going on--she says not to worry too much bc there's nothing I can do either way. Um, ok, great. I'm told to keep an eye on things, stay in bed and, oh, yes, pelvic rest (bc there's no time that I feel like doin'it more than when I'm worried abt miscarriage). I call Acey at work and try to tell him not to worry that he doesn't have to come home and that he should go out after work like he planned, but for some reason he doesn't believe me--perhaps it's my uncontrolled sobbing. He's home in abt 2.8 secs and we spend the evening telling each other that everything's going to be fine.

In the morning, since now I'm in pain as well as still bleeding a little, we head over to the hospital where everyone is extremely nice. The OB on call has just finished delivering a baby, so she meets us on the OB floor for an exam and several ultrasounds. My cervix is very closed, which is good, and we saw the baby (we both teared up). Our little fetus is very active with a good heartbeat--we saw its head and its little arms and legs (all kinds of kicking around), so that part was wonderful. I had to get a Rhogam shot after that, which was less wonderful, but then we got to go home, with instructions to rest and come in for another appt next Fri for a more in depth US.

I spent the rest of the weekend on the couch, except for Sun night when I rebelled and went to the grocery store (big mistake--so tired I almost couldn't make it through and I bled a little more afterwards). Turns out my mom had trouble with all three of us and there's a chance I might be going down the same road. I'll tell you though, if I have to stay off my feet--we have to get cable/internet at the house.

Xmas Wish list

There's been a lot of discussion abt the appropriateness of posting wish lists in a public forum, but I'm putting my list out there for a couple of reasons: 1. Certain people want to know. 2. I want to know what I wanted six months or years from now. 3. I love making wish lists. 4. I don't see anything wrong with it--I'm not asking for presents--in my house we made lists, but most often got entirely different presents.

So let's see:
1. Leather pants (guess I'll have to wait until next year)
2. Angel seasons 3 and 4
3. Firefly
4. an iPod
5. a pony (that's been on every list I've made for the past 28 yrs)
6. pearl studs
7. diamond studs
8. Dukes of Hazzard DVD set
9. my camera fixed
10. a new receiver
11. gift certificates/cash for: maternity clothes, baby stuff, ikea, disney vacation
12. Witchblade on DVD (someday that'll exist)
13. a haircut
14. lush stuff
15. a new tv and replay box (which can wait until next year when we live someplace with more than 3 stations)
16. season 2 of Twin Peaks to be on DVD
17. sephora (yep, the whole store :)
18. the Bonne Bell lipsmackers soda collection
19. any Sayers I don't have
20. world peace, a president I respect, universal health care, blah, blah, blah, fishcakes...
