could you spare a little for me? We just got back from the ER because I had a little bleeding this afternoon, and they couldn’t see the baby’s heartbeat on the ultrasound. There is a chance that I might be less pregnant than I thought, which would explain this. I hope this is the case. The hardest part is that we won’t know until Friday, they are doing blood tests that should give us a clearer picture. I’m going to need a lot of strength to get through the next few days, please help me be strong. Thank you. ---

Tatertot, I know a bit of what you are going through. My wife had her first bleeding episode on Christmas Eve as we were heading to my parents house. Just keep a positive mindset and know that there are many here praying for you including myself. Just know that modern medicine today is amazing and they can do wonders for you and your baby. Of course, God does some pretty good work too. Jeffery ---
