Trip to the Emergency Room

The baby and I had a scary experience on Friday. I went to a primary care dr on Friday to get a check up. To my suprise I found out I was bleeding. I was very scared and was by myself since Dan was up in Utah taking some boxes back up. I drove over to the emergency room and was checked in. On my way to the ER I called my mom and dad who called my grandparents in St. George and my uncle in Vegas. They also got a hold of my bishop who called my home teachers and visiting teacher to come to the hospital to help me. Everybody was so wonderful who came! The ER dr was not very personable and talked to the chart the whole time. They advised that they didn't know why I was bleeding but gave me medication for a UTI and ordered bed rest. I was on bed rest for 5 days until I could see my dr today. The dr told me that since the bleeding stopped that he will take me off bedrest but told me that I couldn't do any household chores. He said just go to work and then come home and pretty much be a couch potatoe. Which is okay by me! They still don't know why I was bleeding. They said everything looked fine with the placenta and the baby was doing great. They said if it happens again they will put me back on bedrest.
I can't wait until next week where Dan and I will find out the gender of our baby! I am so excited to find out and my mom and dad are coming to town! I can't wait.
