just another update girls.

Cramps came on full force, contraction style. after about 5 hours, everything came out and I saw way more than I needed to see. Kristian's here, we're ok, glad the incredible pain is over to be honest. Now it's just lighter contractions and lots of bleeding.

Not sure what to do now, but I am so happy he's here with me now. I need to get off of this fucking rollercoaster.
 
Shit Amy. Fuck fuck shit!!! Honey I'm so so so sorry. Rollercoaster indeed. I'm so glad Kristian is with you too. You don't need to know what to do now. You just take each minute as it comes and just be however you need to be.

Sweetheart we're all here for you.
 
It makes sense that you would. You had a sense about this all along. Now you know. Before you had a lot of conflicting information. After each of mine I also felt a sense of relief when it was completely over. I'm not sure anyone who hasn't been through this would understand that, but I get it.

Is it 2:30 in the morning for you? You must be exhausted.
 
yeah, i'm pretty tired, but the pain is still coming in waves so I'm just going to stay up until the worst is over.

We made a five year plan....if it doesn't happen, we'll adopt if we still want children. that's a plan I can live with.

We're going to call the doctor tomorrow to see if I can get some more time off from work. I really think I need it. Then I can just go down to where Kristian is and spend the time with him. Maybe go skiing during the day while he's at work, pick out things for our new apartment, and just spend time together until he comes back here for Christmas. I'm pretty sure I should be able to get another week off from work, right? They really take care of us in Norway, so I think it should be no problem.

we found a dog we like too, so maybe we can get that over Christmas too. Just stay busy and be there for each other. I really feel OK--I hope that isn't me just repressing my feelings, but I've had a week to get used to the idea and I've already done most of my grieving.

Thank you SO MUCH for being there with me through all those late nights. You have such a talent and a wonderful way with words. I bet that you are a superstar at your job :)
 
You are most welcome! I'd do it again in a second though hope I never have to again.

Your plan sounds great. Plans always bring me comfort. Yes definitely get another week off from work. It is more than reasonable to ask for. Keeping busy buying things for your new place and getting a dog are going to help a lot. Skiing sounds wonderful too. Self care. That's what you need to focus on now.

I think we all react differently. After my last one I felt ok but as time went on, I felt sadder. But like you said, you have had some time to grieve. Don't be surprised though if the grief creeps in when you don't expect it to. I think it is unavoidable. But not unbearable. You will get through this. It sounds like you already know that about yourself. That is a testament to your strength. And since you are a self described optimist, you will find your smile and your laugh again soon I bet.
 
I'm so sorry Amy :hugs: I'm glad you feel some relief and I completely understand that feeling...your plan sounds good and I imagine it provides some sense of comfort for you.
 
:cry: I'm so sorry, Amy. :hug: I can't say anything better than Hearty has already said. I totally understand your sense of relief. And the 'feeling' you had about it. When I was pregnant, from the minute I got the BFP it didn't quite sit with me, and even after my first doctor's visit and bloods I just had a bad feeling. A week later when it all happened-pretty much like you described it tonight, though I was earlier along-I also felt relieved when I got home from the hospital. The fact that you've been greiving already makes sense, too. I hope the pain subsides all the way soon. It sounds like the worst physically is over. Thank goodness you have Kristian by your side. It's almost like it was meant to hold off until Kristian got home...but I am just so, so sorry. :cry: Your plan sounds like a really good one, by the way. I think without a doubt you deserve some more time off of work. My thoughts are with you.
 
I'm so sorry, Amy:nope: It is never easy but it seems like you are handling it well:hugs: I hope you get the time you need to take care of your self.
 
oh Amy!!!! :cry: I can't believe how it went from great news this morning, to this now! I'm so very sorry!! I am glad you are together with hubby and that you are able to feel a sense of relief over it. You are a very strong person, and your plans sound wonderful!! I wish there was something I could do for you, but you know we are always here for you when you need us!! Again, I am so very sorry. :hugs:
 
Hearty - that is great news!! I can't wait for you and this doctor to hook up!

Nato - I must have missed about your job too.....sorry!!! I could use someone to help me out at home (as I am still not organized from the move) :)

Caz - I totally want to see a bump picture too :hugs:

Yogi - :rofl: that totally made me laugh!!

Hi to everyone else!

I got home about an hour ago, and physio wasn't all that great. Will be talking to my doctor on Monday to see if something else can be done for the pain, but I am also kinda doubting that there is.
 
Amy I was hoping you were sleeping by now but I see you in here. How are you feeling?

Mel, I just read about your scary drive in your journal. Glad you are ok! I don't miss driving in the snow. Sorry you are in so much pain. I wish there was something they could do for you.
 
i can't sleep. we close on our apartment at 10 am, so I am thinking about just staying up. maybe that's stupid though.
I am watching Six Feet Under. What an awesome show! I am almost done with season 1 now.
 
Oh god you are going to be so tired!! Well at least you'll sleep well when you finally do go to bed.

I'm so glad you like Six Feet Under. It is one of my all time favorites! Do you have any favorite characters yet?
 
they're all so complex! I don't particularly like the mother or the daughter though.
what about you?
 
Ruth definitely bugged me in the beginning but I grew to really like her. I loved Claire, but in the first season she was so young. I love David. I guess I have a soft spot for Michael C. Hall. And I love Nate. I pretty much loved both of them for the entirety of the show.

The character development is awesome. They really capture the human condition and highlight the complexities of life. That's what I like about it. They don't sugar life.

Is David dating anyone in season 1? I can't remember.
 
yeah he's with Keith for the first half, then has a string of affairs. i just got to the point where he came out to his mom.
I can't believe how well he portrays his character! After 5 minutes I totally forgot about him ever being Dexter!
I love Nate too. That whole Brenda's crazy brother is a little weird though...
 
Amy, I hope you have a good sleep when you finally do sleep! :hugs:

Hearty - thanks! I wish there was something they could do for it too....I will hold out hope for the doctor on Monday. And yes, I hate winter driving!!!! I drove in 4x4 the whole way just to be careful.

ok here is a TMI question, but how do you know if you have a yeast infection??? I've never had one before, but I think I might have one now (because why not?! I seem to be getting everything else, so why not add something else to the list too!!!).
