Vacation and an Update

Sorry I haven't been blogging.  I have been crazy busy.  We went to see family in CO last weekend and we are getting ready for our annual family vacation to Cabo next week.  I will be gone for two full weeks and I have one of those jobs where when I am gone my work waits. There is no one to do my work for me.  It is nice to know I am needed but it stinks when I need a break.  I was talking to my boss the other day about maternity leave and she cried.  She really doesn't want me to take an extended maternity leave.  We will see.  It is good to know I am needed, but sometimes it is hard to be so needed.

As far as Bernie and I, we are doing good as far as I know.  I had another appointment almost two weeks ago.  I was really nervous and scared.  But everything went perfectly.  We got to see Bernie's hb again as well as hear it.  A perfect 154bpm.  

I have another appointment on Wednesday.  I don't really want to go.  If there is something wrong I really don't want to know before I go on vacation.  I want to have a nice vacation.  I don't want to be depressed and bleeding.

The weird thing about it all is that I am not really nervous.  When I lost the baby in April 09 I was a wreck for weeks before I found out.  I just had a gut feeling something was wrong.  This time I am completely at peace.  I don't know why I am so peaceful this time.  Does that mean everything is ok with Bernie? Or does it mean that I have accepted that there is nothing I can do to change the outcome?  

I wish I had answers.  I wish I could see the future and know whether Bernie is my Rainbow baby or not.  But right now I am at peace.  But I still don't want to know until after my vacation if something is wrong.  There is no way out of it though.  I have to go.  If everything is fine they need to start weaning me off my meds.  

One day at a time.   Right?

Hey kiddo.. you really hit the nail on the head... I'm also feeling very calm and relaxed about this. I was a wreck with the last cycle in January - just knew in my gut something was wrong. This time, even with my low rising betas, I feel at ease. I am so happy that your ultrasound went great - stop worrying!! :)
