A Baby Scare!

Well, I spent all last night in the emergency room.  I was hurting down my right side (all the way into my toes).  I was scared to death of an ectopic pregnancy, so I decided to go staight to the hospital.  They did an ultrasound, and the dr. discovered a 3 cm cyst on my right ovary.  They said it is probably the corpus luteum cyst.  Anyway, it has been leaking behind the uterus, and that is what is most likely causing the pain.  The baby is way to small to see, but you could see the gestational sack.  I was just 5 weeks as of yesterday.  I have to go back to Jacksonville for an ultrasound on Saturday. I am hoping to be able to see the yolk sac by then.  I am ready to see some form of life in there.  My hcg levels at the hospital were 3300.  On Monday, they were 1,036.  They are doubling nicely, and that makes me feel so much better.  The cramping has eased off today, but I am still worried that the cyst might rupture.  I am leaving it in God's hands, and I am going to rest as much as I can, and try to stay positive.  I have decided to go ahead and start my registry.  I know it is wayyyyy early, but I have to do something to bring positive thoughts into my mind.  Stress is definetly not going to help a baby stay healthy.  The hospital also gave me a disc of my ultrasound images to bring home with me.  That was super nice of them I think! 

The rest of the kids are hanging in there.  I will update more about them hopefully this afternoon.  I have to get back to work for now.
