rollercoaster!

man alive! or rather, baby alive! thank the Lord!

i won't go into too much detail because time is ticking away, and i didn't sleep last night, and i'm utterly exhausted right now. i am laying down for a nap.  BUT, i didn't want to wait any longer to update. apparently, i have a hematoma something. basically, my placenta tore away from the wall some. it's not huge, but it's decent size. it's not a result of something physical either, more physiological. i have celiac disease, which means i can't eat gluten. i cheat all the time. i don't get physical symptoms, so it's no big deal to me. well, now it is. apparently, it is a big indicator of what happened. they ran a bunch of other tests on every other autoimmune deficiency disorder. if all comes back negative, it was the gluten i cheated with. i can't even believe it could do that, and that this all could be avoided! i cheated with claire all the time! if any of the tests come back positive, then it probably wasn't just the gluten, but other antibodies in my blood attacking me/my baby. i will be put on baby aspirin and heparin for the remainder of the pregnancy.  really hoping it was just the gluten, but we shall see. it takes about a week to get results the dr said. baby was wiggling and kicking away, and had a heartbeat of 192, which we got to hear, which in turn made me burst into tears. so thankful for that sound. scary i can pass clots like that and baby is right there, but thankful that he/she is safe.

that's the quick summary. more later. maybe. i'm really hoping the drama ceases. i can't take this for another 31 weeks. i will go insane.

thanks for all your prayers, i definitely felt them throughout the night and morning.

this baby sure does have a wonderful and powerful future or i don't think satan would be working so hard to steal him/her from me.
