Egg Hunting and the Ski Center

This morning when I went to the bathroom around 3:00 a.m and found that I was bleeding again. We called the hospital and they said to call the OB assessment unit first thing in the morning. When we spoke to the nurse a little later she had us come in since I was supposed to be flying home tomorrow and we wanted to try and figure out what was going on.

While we were at the hospital everyone else took the kids to a ward easter activity at Beacon Hill. I was sad to have to miss it since I wanted to catch up with some people. Beacon Hill was also one of my favorite places to go when I was growing up. I would often drive out there and sit when I had to think about things.

At the hospital we were able to see a healthy baby kicking around, but the ultrasound also showed a large subchorionic hemorrhage which measured about 11 cm. We waited to talk with the Dr. for a little while and she advised that I didn't travel home tomorrow, but come in again next week to see what was happening with the bleed. I think that she actually wanted to admit me, but thankfully she decided that wasn't necessary.

After leaving the hospital we headed over to meet everyone at Beacon Hill. I was glad that I got to go for a little while so that I could catch up with a few people. We then jetted over to the ski slope at Swadlincote for some tubing and tobogganing. Zach spent the first while crying because he was too little to go on the tubes.

The look of fear on grandma's face!

It was hard work dragging the tubes back up the hill

Good old dad took over where the others failed

Hayley even gave it a go

Hayley and Olivia managed to get themselves stuck before they went up the hill and Hayley had to make a pitiful call for help.

Luckily the guy was able to come over and help them out!

Thomas had some fun

They made it

Look at the line they created. Josh wasn't too impressed!

We then went home and enjoyed some chinese take out. We were planning on having some friends over originally, but after another trip to the hospital we weren't sure what was going to end up happening and so we cancelled. I was sad to think that I wasn't going to be able to see everyone.

Spense spent a lot of the night on the phone trying to figure out what we were going to do about going home. He decided that they would just go home as planned and I would stay for another week. Grandma Noelene kindly volunteered to come out and watch the kids for us. I thought that I should just go home anyway, but it looked like the decision had been taken out of my hands.
