Good news, bad news...

[jenP_97]

Hi, all.  I have a *very* OT thing to ask...

Yesterday, my hubby and I (and Ginger, of course) went to my Dr. and 
were confirmed as new OB patients - yes, I'm finally pregnant again 
after a year of trying.  Hopeful due date is around the beginning of 
August, but will schedule a c-section for late July.

However... here's the bad news part.

I woke up in the middle of the night last night with severe pain on 
my left side.  Of course, being hormonal and everything, I'm thinking 
bad thoughts - miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, etc.  Luckily, I 
scheduled my first real OB appt. for *today* (!), so I just hobbled 
to my Dr's office to complain after perhaps 3 hours of restless 
sleep.  There's nothing to be done at the moment - I have to do some 
more bloodwork on Friday to make sure the baby's growing normally, 
and I have my first ultrasound scheduled for next Wednesday.

Could you guys just send me some well-wishes or good thoughts or 
prayers or whatever your preference?  I'm really worried (as all 
hormonal pregnant women are), and this baby has been wanted for a 
long time, now... we're VERY excited, but don't want anything to go 
wrong.

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure on Comedy Central is going to help 
- laughing hurts!)
