Morning ladies,
Wow, so many ultrasound reports; it was amazing to keep up with all of you! Congratulations are in order:
mzpotter: congratulations again on your one strong beanie!
Kathleen: woooohoo for the strong and quick heartbeats! Must have been music to your ears!
Lola: I'm sorry that you didn't get the twins you wanted: must have been strange to see two sacs but only one baby. Medically speaking (too) these things do happen for a reason and I'm sure that your one strong beanie will just sail through that eight-months nap!

Congratulations on your healthy beanie sweetie! grow, beanie, grow!
Ana: ooooooh you HEARD your beanies? Oh, lucky you! Must have been music to your years too! WOW! I'm really happy for you sweetie! Congratulations!

And I'm glad the spotting has stopped!
Emma: thanks for sharing the story. Good luck on your ultrasound tomorrow. How do you feel?
And to all those who kindly posted your encouragements, thank you, for they were all priceless. Seriously, I wish I could do like most of you and just post about positive stuff. Sorry about that. You guys are right: 50% is better than nothing. It's just that we started from 95% on Friday... that was a big psychological drop. The movies helped (Atonement and Enchanted), and so did the mint-chocolate soy ice cream, the home-made club sandwich.. and the peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Strangely, I've been feeling better physically since the u/s. No more nausea, my energy levels are better. I did more around the house. At times I think that it's my pregnancy symptoms that are leaving me, but let's be realistic... it's probably just me recovering from the hospitalization (sleeping around 11 hours a night probably helps!!).
I'm about to call my grandparents and tell them the news. I've abandoned the idea of telling my family with nice Easter packages and a prepared letter. I won't be able to travel to Quebec to meet my family for the Easter brunch (my father and his wife won't let me do the 3 hours drive, even if DH drives; they will come here on Friday-Saturday instead). My grandparents deserve to know, and my grandmother has had about three miscarriages, so she will understand me. The point was to wait until I met her in person to tell her the news of the pregnancy, but the situation has changed. My father's wife called yesterday afternoon because she was too impatient to hear the news... she was very disappointed of course. At least I didn't have to repeat it all to my father.
Anyway. The bleeding still hasn't reappeared, and so did the pain. Technically, this would be an improvement. So I'll just keep praying and wait patiently until Tuesday. And then I'll face the music, whatever it is. My father's wife (a doctor like my dad) will prescribe me strong pain meds before she leaves, so I'll have meds to help me through the pain of a provoked abortion or just a miscarriage if we have to go there.
Hey by the way, how many of you have ultrasound pics? I'm curious! Take care ladies, and tell me if I made any mistake on the list!
