Update

First of all, thank you so much for all of your sweet comments. It's so nice to have support from so many great friends.

Ok, this is pretty crazy. Are you ready?

I went to the doctor this morning and had an ultrasound right away. She looked around for a little bit and then we saw a baby in there. I was thinking for sure I would have to have a D&C since the whole enchilada was still in there but then she brought up a strong heartbeat. I was completely in shock. I said, "What? The baby is alive?" and then I broke down in tears. I was still confused about the whole thing and wasn't quite sure what was going on with my body. After the ultrasound I met with my doctor and it turns out that I have what is called a Subchorionic Hemmorage. Basically I have the baby in its embryonic sac, the placenta to the left of it and then on the right side of the sac I have this pretty big sac of blood. It looks like a big half moon wrapping itself around the embryonic sac. Apparently, my body is trying to get rid of the blood somehow and that is what caused the massive amount of bleeding and severe cramping that I was experiencing. The symptoms are exactly like having a miscarriage which is why I thought I was having one. The cramping this time around was much more severe than with any of my previous miscarriages though.

Anyway, pretty crazy right? I went into the doctors office ready to talk to him about doing some testing and maybe taking a break from trying to get pregnant again for awhile until we figured everything out and I came out with the news that we have a live baby inside of me! It still seems surreal.

I am on pelvic rest and have to go in for ultrasounds every 2 weeks or so to monitor the sac and make sure that it isn't growing, which could cause a miscarriage, but those things aren't very hard to do! I'm sorry that I was a little premature with announcing another miscarriage but I've been through them before and I was positive that I was having another one. Now I know that heavy bleeding and cramping doesn't always mean that. Thank you again for your love, support, and prayers. We still aren't out of the woods on this one though and we will keep praying that this little baby can keep that strong little heartbeat!
