I decided to write this entry because when it happened to me, I spent a lot of time looking it up online..and knowing other people had healthy babies after subchorionic hemmoraging made me feel so much better. When I was very early in my pregnancy with Reaghan, Emma and I went to get the oil changed in my car. While I was standing there waiting for my card to be approved I felt this huge gush, I was so embarrased I tied my sweatshirt around my waist and wished the guy would hurry up so I could get to the bathroom. So I had to bring Emma in this little bathroom at an oil place and realize that I had a huge amount of blood leaking, and try to stay calm so she did not freak out. We drove home and I just remember sitting in my car trying to get a hold of Wes or my Mom. Finially I got a hold of Wes, he came home and we headed for the ER. When we got there and had an exam, they told me I had most likely lost the baby, we sat and cried for what seemed like forever then they took me

My name is Megan, I am a first time, new mom with a beautiful little 2 1/2 week old baby girl. I am new to blogging and new to the YBYW community so hopefully somebody will find my blog either interesting, insightful, or helpful in some way.

With the girls, I spent the last two months just wanting them to be born. The last couple months went by sooo slow and all I could do is wonder what they looked like, when they would be here, how big they would be and on and on. This time around I have not been in such a big hurry! For one thing I was not feeling ready, with two girls we have lots of pink stuff so we had to get him lots of new things. Also, he had no clothes! We had bedrooms to switch around and cleaning to be done. Finially, this last weekend we went out and got everything I was worrying about diapers, clothes, nursing pads, blankets, everything. His room is all set and ready. Bags are packed. However, having the baby stuff was not the only reason I was not feeling ready. Also, I was worried about the attention the girls would get from me after I had a new baby to care for. Sleepless nights with a baby and then early mornings with a toddler is not going to be easy! We don't like the girls to watch tv, so
