Did I mention rollercoasters go up and down ALL. THE. TIME?

After posting yesterday I went back to bed for the rest of the morning. At some point I got up because I had to pee. No more blood. As of this morning, everything looks cool. I actually had this kind of thing a lot during my pregnancy with Aislinn...just not this early. Only in the pregnancies that ended in miscarriage did I ever have any kind of bleeding or spotting this early. But it's getting so hard for me to say "well, this is different, and so that makes me feel worse/better" because I'm starting to realize it just doesn't work that way. OK, God. I get it. Every child is different, which means every pregnancy is different.

So I'm going to rely not on basic similiarities and differences to tell me how things are going, but on two things that have been reliable for me in the past: 1) science and 2) my intuition. For now, the science is in the bloodwork. I will go in this afternoon to have more blood drawn, and within a couple of hours I will have the latest results. My intution? Funny thing. When I was lying in bed yesterday morning, curled up in fetal position, once again I got that feeling: "This just might be OK."

I remember having that "maybe this will work out" feeling. After two m/c's, I got preggers again. And had the same ole spotting. But also, some funny hope that kept popping up. And wouldnt you know, he is five today and has a younger sister to boot.
