Another Bleeding Episode

Ok, this is getting crazy!! I started bleeding again --- with another round of ultrasound. Apparently this hematoma is just not resolving -- or at least not resolving fast. Baby is going right on par, approximately 16 weeks along. He is still going strong.

We think the root of the problem is Mattie. At 19 months, he is still sleeping with us. Unfortunately, he has pretty much kicked Peter out of the bed and he is trying to push me away too! We are going to get another bed and he will either move or we are moving out of the room. It's ridiculous, but I think his constant kicking at night is disturbing Micky's peace.

Here are some recent pics of Mattie

Doctors, doctors, doctors

So we had an eventful last few weeks. Mattie visited the Children's ER for the first time for a high fever 2 Sundays ago. It turned out to be an ear infection AGAIN! It was scary because he had such high fever -- 103 despite Tylenol. Then 3 days later, I started bleeding. So I freaked thinking I have a miscarriage. We visited ER at St Michaels. It turns out I had a small hemorrhage by my placenta but the baby is alive and kicking. Now I am not suppose to hold anything heavy --- meaning no carrying Mattie. Mattie isn't happy about that change.

What we thought was strange about my ER visit was that I was sent home without a diagnosis because the ultrasound dept is closed after hours. However, when I asked if they can at least Doppler the baby's heart beat, they were like, oh we have a portable ultrasound that maybe able to detect the baby. I was like, that's bring it out.. duh!! Then I had to go back the next day --- except the phone number they gave me didn't work so Peter had to go over the floor and make an appointment for me. After 3 hours I finally got an ultrasound and reeived my results from a resident. Talk about efficiency!

Now we are unsure where we wnat to deliver my second baby... seems like I would have a complicated pregnancy and the hospitals here seems to suck.
