Saturday:
We had our first blast ball game! It was so nice outside and they kids did a GREAT job. We had pictures before the game, which Sarah was refusing to participate in. After much coaxing and a few threats she sat and took the picture. She did really well at the game..my brother came to watch her so that pretty much overshadowed everyone else that had come! She played REALLY hard and hit the ball with all she had. All and all the game went on without a hitch! After the game we went and ate lunch with my parents and brother. We had Palios Pizza in Denton..Yummy!!
Sunday:
Was church day! We really love Sundays..its a day of fellowship and a spritual refill! We remembered the walk that Jesus made to Jeruselum the week before he was crucified. Jesus, thank you for that walk and dying for my sins! Tobin went and got Sarah early from her Sunday School Class so she could watch Cooper and Gracie being dedicated. (They are the kiddos to our VERY best friends Logan and Liz). They gave her a palm leaf for "Palm Sunday" and while sitting there waiting for the dedication she must have slapped the face of the guy in front of us 3 times..we finally laid it on the ground! The dedication was wonderful and emotional! What a blessing and joy those two babies have given The Jones Clan! After the dedication we went to Logan and Liz's for lunch! Ok, Logan's mom can COOK! If she didnt live 45 minutes from me I would be at their house EVERY night eating. She would be so tired of me..but me and the baby would be SOOO happy! Sarah met some new friends (Gracie and Bella..Liz's niece). And did you know there is a different note that three little girls can scream that no one has ever heard before?? WOW..it was loud but oh so much fun! I am in LOVE with Liz and Logans family. If you ever question how Liz and Logan turned out as well as they have..meet their family and it will ALL make sense!After lunch we went to the church for the Easter Eggstravaganza! At one point I felt my head spin..it was organized chaos, but it was fun! Sarah, Bella, and Gracie did so well hunting eggs, but were over it pretty quick. It had been a VERY long, joyful, and blessful day!
And this is where things went South. While at Liz's house I had gone to the bathroom (and this may be to much TMI but I want to make sure you get the complete story) and noticed a little blood when I wiped. I didnt really worry cause I knew I had done ALOT this weekend. But when we got home I went to the bathroom and it had gotten a little heavier. So in tears I called my mom to come get Sarah so we could go to the ER. (I only hope I can turn out to be as good of a mom as my mom is..) She was at home so it was going to be 30 mintues before she could get her, and I wasnt going to wait. So I went ahead and left and Tobin stayed to wait for my mom. I called Liz on the way, and just like friends do she prayed over me and the baby. She cried while I cried and was SO awesome! I asked that she called Alberta (one of our Sunday School teachers..they are such a blessing and peace when you need them!) and tell her to start praying. As I drove the longest drive of my life, my mom called to talk to me. You know as a child crawling in her lap or having her hold my hand was so reassuring, but all I had was her voice this time. And truth be told that was by far the most reassurance I have ever had. She talked to me until I got to the hospital..and as I type this I get teary eyed..because I was SO scared and she kept it all together as to be sure that I didnt get upset. I signed in at 6:30 pm, and just waited. With such fear and prayers..I asked that my GOD would be near me and hold me tight! Tobin got there not to long after that, as well as Alberta and David. They were good for me..it kept my mind off the task at hand and kept me upbeat! They called me back about 8:45 or so..their concern was I was having a miscarriage, but wanted to run some test to see if in fact that was the case. First they drew blood, which all came back normal. Then I had to have a cathater so they could get urine, which showed I had a UTI (didnt even know I had one!). Then the sonographer came in...that was by far the scariest part of all this. This was the moment I was going to see if my baby was tucked safely where it needed to be. Well, the good news..the baby was indeed were it needed to be. Moving around ALOT, and had a strong heartbeat! PRAISE the LORD is all I could say! Then they did a pelvic exam which did show blood, but my cervix is closed so they weren't to concerned. The last thing that the Dr. said was he couldnt rule out that I was/am having a miscarriage, but all thing were pointing towards good news. My diagnosis..a Threatened Miscarriage. I have an appt. with my OB tomorrow to follow up, please day a pray for me and the baby! I am still not convinced I am out of the woods..I wont be till I hold the baby in my arms.
Ok, sorry it was so long! Just lots of things to catch up on..I will post tomorrow with what the OB says.
Oh Shanna, I'm so sorry to hear about this. I will be praying for you and that sweet baby today. Let us know how everything goes.
