Trying not to scream: Thank you all

Thank you all

Thank you ladies, so much. The logical part of my brain knows that the spotting is no big deal but the panicked IF part of my brain that was already worried to begin with just went nuts! It definitely helped to hear all your reassurances. What would I do without all of you? I really don't want to know!!!

I spotted for the rest of the day yesterday but nothing so far today. Still a little crampy, but I'm going to say that's growing pains. I think I probably did overdo it yesterday (lots of standing and walking) and got a little dehydrated.

So, the water bottle is now permanently attached to my hand and I'm going to make myself sit down occasionally! ☺

Now just to wait patiently for next Tuesday... OY. I've got to come up with something to do this weekend or it will go on forever!!!

So glad you are feeling better. Please REST. You need to take it easy for your little bean. This weekend should be filled with lots of reading and movie renting. :) Thinking of you. Keep us posted.

REST - this is your body's way of telling you that you are overdoing it. Drink the water and rest. And watch alot of TLC and HGTV - that's how I kill time (except when "I didn't know I was pregnant" comes on, then switch stations!)
