Hi Luka,

Sounds like a very human update. I can relate about the needing more time to process things that happen in life sometimes. I often feel like things happen in my own life, small and big, at a rate faster than I can fully process them and I am hurried along to then next happening. This applied to both good and difficult happenings. I used to journal quite a bit but now I am too busy even for that.

I take solace in knowing that I will (most likely!) never be at a season in my life that I am as busy as I am now and it will give way to quieter ones where I'll have more time to reflect. In the meantime I'm storing up photos and memories. :)

I think along with the difference in people's personalities is a distinction in how deep of a level they need to process things. You sound a lot like me. It's funny how different my husband and I are in this regard. He has a very laid back personality and needs very little processing time for anything. His strong faith that God is in control of things seems to translate into a consequent "whatever happens under the sun on this crazy earth happens, time to keep moving forward" outlook. To some extent some of this has rubbed off on me (at the very least it's been a healthy gift to our marriage to balance thinker.' out my tendency to 'brood') but I will always be a 'deeper processor' because that's how God made me.

It comes with it's own gifts, a notable one being a natural inclination towards compassion and quickness to empathize with others on a very sincere level, which I've seen in your posts here, too. It probably has a lot to do with why you're a good mother, too.

Interesting about your spotting. I'm glad you got the scan and a clean bill of health. I had spotting a lot in my last two pregnancies and the doctor's attributed it to placenta issues, but none that were a threat to the baby.

Take Care Friend,

Heather

Hi Luka,

Thank you for the update. I myself experienced bleeding during my first pregnancy. I had a hematoma in my uterus, which is basically a blood clot that formed because the placenta pulled away from my uterus a little. This was very uncomfortable and I experienced bleeding and spotting for almost two months, but my little guy was completely healthy.
Bleeding during pregnancy is never normal but however it can be quite common in the early months but since you have a doctor looking into this I'm sure everything will be okay just take it easy and don't over do it. Get plenty of rest and take your vitamins. If you notice that the spotting comes after you have been very busy, then slow down and put your feet up.
I bet your so excited about the ultrasound. I know that was my favorite part of both of my pregnancies. I couldn't wait to see what my babies looked like and whether they were a boy or a girl. And of course the reassurance that the babies were healthy really took a load off. I think every mom wants to make sure that her babies are healthy and that is what makes you a mom. That part of always being concerned about your child will never end, this is just the beginning =)
I look forward to hearing more from you, please keep us updated! I'm praying for you.

GOd Bless,
Lori

Only a couple more days until my ultrasound :) I am hoping that the baby is a girl on this scan too. I couldn't help myself i bought the cutest little pink baby girl outfit the other day with a little hat with Giraffe ears on it lol. If it's a boy that's ok too :) I just love all the pretty little girls things, it's so much fun shopping for girls. I got some firm kicks today in the belly while i was driving she (or he) kicked me right where my seat belt was lol. How is everyone else going on here -the pregnant and the non pregnant ladies?
