Out damn spot!

I woke up this morning to a site that no pregnant woman wants to see. Spotting. I have been reassured by my doctor's office and numerous other sources (including several women who have had this), that what I had this morning is something many pregnant women experience and the vast majority go on to have completely normal pregnancies. That being said, anyone who would like join us in praying for the health and safety of our little bean is very much welcomed and would be much appreciated.

Dustin had already gone to work by the time I saw it and I called him panicing. I knew we had to stop by Dustin's work to grab Josh's bookbag this morning and it took me right back to May 8, 2003 - the day they rushed me to the hospital and I thought I was losing Josh. The minute I saw Dustin on the corner waiting for us I started sobbing. There are no words to describe my love for that man. I will spend the rest of my days loving him and thanking God that he is my husband. Because what I feel when I see him somehow becomes emphasized. When I have great news to share and I think I couldn't possibly be happier, somehow I do when I get to share the news with him. When I am sad and am trying to hold things together, I become a blubbering mess when I see him. For however much he frustrates me, he makes me feel twice as much loved and cared for. I'm a lucky woman and Josh is a lucky boy.

Speaking of that little guy, he did A-okay at school today!! We've been having problems getting him to go to school without crying and getting all upset. It is so stressful to try and drop off a child who is screaming, "Mommy, take me with you!". Talk about ripping your heart out. Well, today he didn't cry!!!! He wanted to for a moment, but he fought it off and took it like a big boy!! I am so proud of him. I can't wait to give him a big hug and tell him he earned a trip to Chuckee Cheese's!!!

Per doctor's orders, I am to go home and rest so anyone who would like to sign up for a shift of house cleaning, feel free to give Dustin a call because Beth is OFF DUTY! :-)
