Yay Laura. Sooo cute Jess.

Oh I'm so happy for you Laura!!

In a nutshell: I had been having those braxton hicks since Monday, they kept getting more frequent, and started hurting. Called the doc, got an appointment next day. That night I started spotting, went to the ER. The doctor there did an US and bloods, said I was ok but have a threatened miscarriage. Went to the doc yesterday afternoon, got shuffled around the office and didn't have any questions answered, they said my cervical length was ok from the US the ER did and to go home. No other instructions, no explanation, nothing. So I assume it's normal and I just get to deal with this for the next 5 months. Hooray.

Mrs s, that's not good. Was following it all on your blog. I really hope you can get some answers before your next appointment as even two weeks is a long time to wait. If you feel like something is off the you should push harder for more answers. I hope is ok!!!

Kayla I'm going to tell you this bc I love you but you are doing too much with little sleep and little meals you need to put yourself and Lucy first before school dint make me come over there and strap you to a damn bed

You just became DH's best friend! I know, I'm notorious for pushing my body to it's extreme limits and it's easy to forget it's not just me that I'm responsible for anymore. I've got all of my family practically checking in on me every five minutes now. I'm trying to get better about taking care of myself and Lucy too. I've still been having the contractions all day but no bleeding still, and they are less than four in an hour. I'm taking that all as a good thing for now. I've been trying to schedule in at least three meals a day, seems like if I don't schedule it...I won't ever get around to it. Plus I think any time somebody talks to me they ask "are you eating?" It's kind of hard to forget now. After March I won't have to physically be at school quite as much so that should help. I will only have the one 12 hour clinical day and then the 5 hour class the next day and that is it. For the rest of the time I plan to stay home and get as much rest as I can with little man causing havoc and destruction everywhere.

Oh good, so I don't need to book my flight? Lol

I agree with Luara. x
Hope you're ok Kayla.
Hi everyone else
What a cute pic Jess
I am a little worried about Grace's facebook update yesterday - are you ok G? xx

I'm fine. Tecumseh got drunk, very drunk, threatened to kill me while I was sleeping and blah blah. I feel silly about the whole deal now. But I was afraid, and I don't regret posting the status. I slept with a knife wrapped around my wrist. The knife is in a case with a string, lol. I was afraid. I finally went to sleep very late, probably 5 am, so I slept most of the day, thoroughly scaring my sister, who made a huge deal of it.

Tecumseh woke up yesterday morning and I felt him touch my face early in the morning at like 7 AM, I didn't know what he was doing, but was half asleep and didn't think much of it. But later he admitted that he did that to make sure I was alive. He was afraid that he had killed me the night before and been too drunk to remember. Which, while you guys are probably thinking WTF? Imagine if you can for a moment how scary that was for him, to literally not know if he had killed the mother of his children. He said that it was his bottom. He will not drink again, and if he does drink again he will have to leave this house, no more peaceful separated coexistence. It's the best I can hope for right now, but he will not get to that stage of drunkenness again in my presence. And I believe with everything in me that he would die before he hurt me sober. And I know most people won't agree with this decision, but it's mine to make. I'm not fixing things with him, I do NOT want to be with him, even if he does sober up, there is way too much damage done at this point. I don't think I could ever love him again. So I'm steadfast on the divorce. I just really would like to make this an easy transaction for the kids, which means staying here, and in this school district until summer.

I am glad you're ok, that must have been a horrible ordeal all round. I have a lot of experience when it comes to dealing with drunks that get nasty / make threats and I know that most if it if not all is the drink talking but it is very scarey non the less. And death threats is such a serious thing. If he keeps to his word and maks sure he doesn't drink around you then that is good. I know you are in such a tough situation and unfortunately there seems to be no easy way out. Thinking of you
