The spotting stopped yesterday afternoon. I am trying to remain as calm as possible - if I am upset and stressed out then so is the baby and that is not good. I will concentrate on the positive - the baby is measuring perfectly and the heart was beating away. I did read online that when the baby is going from being an embryo to a fetus - right around 9 weeks - they enbed and sometimes that causes spotting - so maybe that is what it is.
I am just basically going to stay in most of this summer. I will go to work and that is all. John will do a major food shopping order this week - that way I will start bringing my lunches to work instead of going out and getting them and we will start making some crock-pot meals for dinner - so they are easy for both of us - if anyone has any crock-pot recipes please share them with me.
I just have to make it throught he next 3 weeks - then I will be out of the first trimester - I know I still have a long road after that but I feel like maybe I will be able to breath again after the first trimester has passed. What is going to be is going to be - I am doing every single thing possible to have this be a healthy pregnancy. All I can do now is wait and pray. Thank you for all the love and support and well wishes - they mean so much to me and really helped me get through yesterday.
Today is our 5 year wedding anniversary - we are not doing gifts - we will just order in and watch a movie. I am just happy to be spending time with my husband. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. I will be laying low all weekend with a good book.

First, happy anniversary! Your plans for the evening sound perfect. :)
I know how scared you are but the words you wrote are true...try not to be stressed (for you and the baby) and, if you find yourself freaking out, perhaps turn to your own blog and your own words to help.
(((HUGS))) You're exactly right, too. All is measuring and looking good.
Happy Anniversary! Praying for you and your baby. It is going to be a-ok!
So glad the spotting stopped!! :) And Happy Anniversary!!
Happy Anniversary!! Whew! I am so glad to read this post!! I have a great Asian pork wraps (lettuce or tortillas) recipe on my blog. I think it was back in January, if you can't find it let me know and I will email it to you.
Happy Anniversary! We are celebrating 11 years today!! I am so glad the spotting stopped. Once you get through the 1st trimester, you will be able to breath a LITTLE bit, then on to the next. It's perfectly normal to take it one milestone at a time.
Here is a crockpot Chx recipe I recently tried. It is DELISH!
4 Chx breasts
1 can of cream of chicken
1 can of cream of mushroom
4 oz cream cheese
1 envelope of Italian dressing mix
Put all ingredients in crock pot and cook on low for 6-8 hrs. DO NOT add water to the mixture. The juices from the chx will dillute the soup mixture so you don't need to add anything else.
Serve over rice or pasta. (I served it with rice). It is so eas and yummy! Enjoy!
Happy Anniversary! I don't know if I've had a chance to tell you how incredibly excited I am for you. I know that spotting is so scary (I have had it every time myself), but I am praying that things are going to be just fine for your little one.
