Letters To Baby K - Week 19


This week was going great, with the exception of stress from work, until I ended up in the emergency room. Scariest. Day. Of. My. Life!!! Yesterday, I came home from work, which happened to be a particularly stressful day. I started cooking dinner and ran upstairs to change into my pjs and go the bathroom. I had been kind of crampy, but nothing note-worthy to even be worried about. I had WAY worse cramps earlier in my pregnancy.

Insert TMI warning (for some) here. If you don't care to know the details then you should skip the next few lines. I don't think it's a big deal so I'm choosing to share it for women who may end up going through the same thing.

After using the restroom I was alarmed to find the toilet paper cover in dark brown blood. Immediately, I begin to panic (don't panic if this happens to you, it only makes it worse!) and cry. I was thinking, "No, no, no! Please don't let anything be wrong!" I began to pray repeatedly and quickly dialed my Dr. The on call Dr. called the ER and told me to head over there immediately. Luckily, my husband was on his way home and minutes from the house. Justin ran inside, whisked me away and quickly drove to the ER. A little too quickly, I might add, but he was panicked, so I understand. The wait wasn't long, literally within minutes a nurse from L&D was grabbing me with a wheelchair and rushing to the room for a full sonogram. The nurses were wonderful and comforting, one of them even prayed over me, which I really appreciated. Luckily, my mom was also in town taking care of my Niece and was able to come to the hospital. Long story short everything turned out fine and Peyton is healthy and safe!

I cannot even put into words how terrified I was. The fear of losing a child is paralyzing and I pray to God that I never have to feel that pain again.

So, on a happy note, we got an extensive viewing of Peyton and I even got to see him again the very next day at my scheduled doctors appointment. He is growing like a weed and they guestimated that he weighs around 10oz. He was kicking up a storm and I really enjoyed watching him tumble around and do "baby yoga" with his legs all the way over his head for the very last sono picture.

Justin is so excited to meet his little buddy, he even went out and bought a cute little outfit for Peyton the very next day, with no help from me I might add. He's got great taste! He's so adorable. I can't wait to see him loving on Peyton. It melts my heart just thinking about it!

  2. So glad everything is okay! I had a little scare like that towards the end of my pregnancy and it turned out to be nothing. But the fear and panic can really turn you into a mess!

  4. Glad to hear everything is ok! Did they say what may have caused the bleeding??? I had so many scares with my second pregnancy, from spotting to little to no movement, to a car accident!

    I hope everything continues to go smoothly and healthy and can't wait to see your little one once he is here!

    1. Thank you! They said could be stress or it could be that my placenta is too close to my cervix. It was .9cm away from the cervix and they want it to be 2cm away. So, it's something we have to monitor.

  6. I was a HIV-AIDS patient and I got it from cheating on my wife. It was sort of a payback but a week later I was told by a friend that the person who I cheated with had the HIV-AIDS virus and did not tell me. I was so stupid by not using a condom I thought since he was an old school friend he was trustworthy. But I was wrong. I cried and cried. Two days later, I got a phone call from my friend and he told me about a person who is known by another friend, who can help me. I could not let my wife know what I was going through. I finally got his email address: oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com and I emailed this man my story and he replied me immediately saying i should be calm and told me that everything will be OK. I could not come to terms with what I was hearing but then I concluded it did not matter because I was so broken I just needed help. I was going out of my mind literally. I was confused with what he was telling me, but I listened. He told me about some materials i need to buy that he needed to cast the spell and I said OK. I bought the materials to him, I sent down my picture to him and my positive result sheet and he replied me that i am going to be negative under 3days. I message Him every 2hours for 2day and I knew he thought that I was crazy but I did care I needed a shoulder. Behold, the third day he messaged me i should go for a test that i will be negative. My marriage could be broken because of a stupid mistake and my life was on the line. I remembered when I was going to get the results of my re-test I called him up again and told him that I was going to get my results today and his reply was “so" and that everything will be as he explained. I knew then that he was getting tired of me calling him, maybe I was wrong. Well I got my results and the first person I called was him - again. As he said hello I started to cry and cry. I could not believe it. I was given a second chance in life.This man is a great spiritual HIV/AIDS healer, his healing spell on aids healing is very powerful .please brothers and sister, contact Dr Ose oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com
