bloody show

mom was so scared-to-death this morning. she was about to go to work when she saw some drops of fresh blood when she peed. dad was worried sick too.

they called ICRM and while waiting for directions, they found out from the web that vaginal bleeding can be a sign of miscarriage. though they knew that it can also be normal for some women, they just couldn't get rid of the thought that i might be in danger.

they went to ICRM for another blood draw since the NP said that there's nothing to see from the ultrasound this early. i can't even tell how old i am today. they informed mom however that the hcg count is increasing as expected, so the pregnancy is developing. they said that the bleeding can be coming from the cervix. anyway, she was advised to rest at home for the rest of the week and to call them if there's painful cramping or heavy menstrual-like bleeding. there weren't, but they prayed some more and asked for prayers so that i'd be safe no matter what.

my loving dad was very supportive and pampered mom and gave her a lot of tlc since day 1. he was doing all the household chores and was always at her beck and call. mom was well-rested.

oh, how i wish there's an easy way to tell them that i'm doing ok.
