2007 is off to a flying stop.

We found out two days before Christmas that Madeleine had gotten her way. I've been ready since August; Dale had reservations. I admit I hadn't made it easy for him, but tried to respect his wishes as head of the household. But we accepted God's will joyously and started talking names, due date, maternity clothes... After two September babies, I'd be set...
Then, the day after Christmas, maybe the 27th, I started spotting. It's been intermittent but yesterday it turned red. At the ER, they did a blood draw (good), cervix is still closed (good), but the ultrasound was inconclusive.
At my OB today, she told me it's probably a "blighted ovum," which means a miscarriage, but it's really too soon to be sure. I go tomorrow for another blood draw to check hormone levels. If they're good, I'll have another ultrasound Thursday to see if the week made anybody easier to see. If they're not...
As I'd had a little spotting with Madeleine, I wasn't worried until it turned red. Will try to keep you posted.

Prayers gratefully accepted.

UPDATE 1/13/07: My OB called with the blood test results this afternoon. The hormone levels were up, but not nearly as up as they should be. We'll confirm the diagnosis on Thursday via ultrasound, then we'll have a week for things to happen naturally.
I'm feeling... disconnected right now. Thanks, all, for the prayers.
