Small Scare

Yesterday was quite an eventful day. I had the day off and so I had planned to work on Ransom's room and get some things done around the house. I woke up feeling a little weird though, but I thought I would just go ahead with my day and see what happened. I called my mom and asked her to come over to help with some more painting, but by the time she got there I was cramping and having some lower-back pain that was pretty uncomfortable. Now all day I debated as to wether or not these were just cramps from a growing uterus or not, and I got some of my pregnancy books that told me that I really shouldn't worry unless it was accompanied by nausea/vomitting or by spot bleeding. So I just tried to make it through the day without to much complaining, but I was definitely uncomfortable. So I go through the day the best I can and we get SOME of the stuff that I wanted to get done accomplised, but by the time evening hits I am exhausted and in pain and I just want to lay around. Then later I realize that I am in fact spotting a very little bit, so I decide it's time to call the doctor. I talk to the on call doctor and he says to head straight for the hospital. This is when I start to lose it. I tell Daniel that we have to head to the hospital and I call my mom and let her know and she of course jumps in her car to meet us there along with my dad and sister. Well, we get there and check me out and Ransom seems completely oblivious as he is doing flips to stay away from the heart monitor and then when she finally gets him "pinned down" his heart is beating strong. They run a few test and say that everything seems to be normal other than some blood in my urine, and they don't think that is coming from my cervix, so they monitor my uteran activity for awhile and then send me home. I talked to my doctor's nurse this morning and she said that sometimes these things just happen and resolve themselves and they are nothing to worry about, but to be on the safe side they are going to try and work me in to get a ultrasound in the next day or so.

So long story short we had a long night last night, but everything seems to be alright. I kinda wish they had some answer to give me, but I am trusting that God is in control and that he has Ransom in his hands. It will definitely be reassuring to have the ultrasound though. Please just pray that this is a one time event and that Ransom stays snug in my belly so he can be born a healthy full-term baby. They sent me away from the hospital with a sheet on signs of preterm labor and I was experiencing 4 out of the 7 symptoms throughout the day yesterday, so that definitely concerns me. However, today, I have had no symptoms at all and I feel good other than being extremely tired physically and emotionally. Thanks in advance for any prayers that are lifted up! I know God will hear and be glorified by the requests of His children.
