Thank you, I know that I have to be prepared for anything. Today I go
in for my 3rd bloodtest and will find out the results tomorrow. I am a
nervous wreck and didn't sleep much last night. I just kept thinking
that today (Monday) might be the last day I can feel pregnant and
happy... my emotions have gone through the full circle, with how to
deal with good news to how to deal with the bad... I am just sort of
numb and scared right now. I'll post the results tomorrow.
