The joy of my soul...My pregnancy

Current mood: lonely
Category: Life


This pregnancy is starting off rather rough. I have been in the ER 4 times in the last week due to light spotting and some cramping (which has subsided). I have to be monitored closely as I have a condition called a subchorionic bleed. This means there is a small hematoma in between the fetus and the gestational sac. It is the cause of my spotting. The concern at this point is the hematoma bursting. It can harm the fetus and cause miscarriage.

On Saturday I got the first glimpse of the miracle growing inside of my body. I also seen the heartbeat. So far, Marcel and I aren't really on good terms for reasons beyond this pregnancy. With his job, it makes it difficult for him to be there for me. My only gripe is when he is here.. be here!

Other than that... I am hopeful... Aaron and I tried for many years to have a baby and were unsuccessful. Seems as though this baby is holding for dear life... I am resting and drinking a lot of water... I miss the gym though... I hope everyone will keep me and the baby in their prayers... PLEASE! I am 6 weeks today... and as for big brother to be... I think he is a little concerned.. when I told him I was pregnant he replied, "You're having another kid, that's gonna take away from my money... " ( Yea, that's my son)! I've decided if this pregnancy doesn't thrive I'm NOT gonna try (not like I tried this time... total shock!) anymore. I have my Quin and he is the love of my life... but this baby sure is becoming the joy of my soul.... I will keep everyone updated on my status.. Thanks for all the congrats...



Love, Reese....



P.S. if I get passed this rough spot... I am HOPING for a girl.. Name has already been chosen... Mariah Jolie Fredrick... I have no boy names so far... Marcel and I just can't seem to agree on them! LOL
