  • Pregnancy Update

    We had an ultrasound on Monday and out little one is doing fine. He/She was even bigger than expected by about a week. So, we're a little further along than we thought. The doctor put me on bed rest until the symptoms subside. However, while the bleeding stopped this past Saturday, my back is still extremely painful. So, I am beginning to think the two may not be completely related. I think that, if I take the doctor's advise, I may never walk again!

    Thanks for asking about us Susie*Bee!

      Congratulations on your pregnancy, Ann. How exciting! You can almost always have back surgery, but you cant' always have a baby. What a blessing.
