This day was just plain horrible!

August 1, 2006

Is it just me or is this board very quite. I hope everyone is doing ok. Anyway we had another ultrasound yesterday and they have determined that the placenta is 3.1cm (I guess that calculates into a little over an inch) away from my cervix. This is now consider a low lying placenta versus a previa. That means we can have a natural delivery or try to I guess. I'm still bleeding on and off and for some reason they have determined that my placenta is separating from the uterine wall. I know, way too much information to handle right? So I'm still on bed rest and here goes the bad part. We had to put our kids in daycare for a while to allow me to rest. I felt horrible today because we had to sign them up and drop them off for part time care.

Dylan (3 1/2) being the little man that he is, did beautifully! He ran away from Chris (Dh) and I and practically didn't care if we went out the door. He started playing immediately and was pretty much unaware that we had left to take his sister to her room.

Poor Katie (20 months) had to go into the toddler room. As soon as we opened the door she bursts into tears and starts saying mama no mama no go. All the while she is clutched to Chris and holding her blanket tighter and tighter. They say to bring an item for security. We let her have her pacifier and her blanket and she definitely didn't want to let them go. She was mumbling and crying through all the introductions and then I think she was going to bolt for the door. Poor baby girl. I FELT HORRIBLE! I have been a stay-at-home-mom every since I got pregnant with Dylan because I have such horrible pregnancy's and couldn't bring myself to drop him off anywhere. We have never had family close enough to take care of them so I made the decision to stay home with them until they are all in school and then I will go back to work. My husband says that is so we don't drown in college payments and tuition bills. :-) I felt bad so I didn't say much to him as we left the parking lot. He had to go to work and works fairly late most of the time since he is in the middle of setting up next years budget.

Then I went to pick the kids up at 11:30 (they only are there four hours) and Katie was still crying. Her tear stained face broke my heart. I cried in the car when I went to take them home. Immediately when she saw me she pulled her pacifier out and told the ladies bye bye and waved. She stopped crying the instant I got her out of the room. I just felt horrible today. I know this is something I have to do in order to keep our baby safe and in my stomach for another two months but geez mentally it is crushing me. I truly hope this gets better. I was encouraged that Dylan did so well. Hopefully tomorrow will be easier and soon things will go back to chaotic but normal chaos for us. Thanks for reading and god bless.
