So I have good news and bad news.
Good news is I haven't had a bleed since early hours on Friday.  For the whole day Friday I just had brown chunky discharge.  It looked like the SCH was trying to bleed out.
Then nothing Friday night and yesterday I only had one occasion of spotting in the morning then I was spot free until now where the brown discharge is back.  I am trying to not get to worked up about the spotting being back.  At least it is brown and I know SCH normally take weeks of spotting to resolve.  Just praying it doesn't turn back to red blood again.  I can live without that.

Now the bad news, many of my pregnancy symptoms seem to have decreased.  I only need to pee every 4 or 5 hours and for the past couple of days I couldn't nap at all.  Now I am blaming the not napping on sleeping more at night, however it worries me that my symptoms are less and I don't really feel pregnant.  My breasts haven't changed at all.  I am dreaming more, which I think is only because I am getting more than 2 hours of sleep at a time.  I am hoping that it is the dreaming that is causing me to sleep for longer stretches and not that my hormones are dropping.

I just really hate this time period since I can't do anything but wait.  I can't wait until 3 or so weeks from now so I can start using my doppler and at least have that to reassure myself.  I know symptoms doesn't equal a healthy pregnancy, but it sure is nerve racking and after experiencing a missed m/c before I don't want to repeat that.

DH went out grocery shopping yesterday and I was reminded today on why you can't rely on men to grocery shop.  Stop and Shop had cereal on sale for 2/$5.  I wrote down for him to get two 14oz boxes since they were what was listed in the flyer.  He comes home and I notice the boxes he got were very small, but didn't think much of it.  Mostly I was pissed that the sale was on such small boxes and wasn't surprised the store did that.  So this morning when I was getting breakfast I look at the box and find out they are 10.5oz.  I was pissed.  So not only did he not buy the right size that was on sale, but now we won't have enough food to last us the week all because he got smaller boxes then he should.  Of course dh can't take critism at all and starts bitching they were under the sticker.  I told him you have to check the box size against the flyer.  So now I am mad that I will need to buy more cereal on Tuesday, not to mention he probably paid a fortunte for this tiny tiny boxes.
I can't wait until the fall when we won't have to care about food prices anymore. 

I got dd's approval letter for SSI yesterday so I am so relieved.  When her case worker called a few weeks ago for June's wages and said she was approved I couldn't believe it since it was so quick and to tell you the truth you hear so many stories about SSI denials I really didn't think she would be approved, especially that easy, but hey I am not going to complain.  I told one of my friends who has a son who is severely delayed and now facing losing her house to apply and she finally is so I am glad.  I was starting to get worried about what we were going to do for the Fall since dh's loans would only cover a few months if they split the loan up per semester.  DD will be receiving the full amount allowed for SSI in MA so this will really help us fill in the gaps each month.  I have already decided what I am going to spend her back pay on.  I am buying her a pressure vest and some other things to help with her therapies and then I will pay off all our credit card debt so we can at least start the Fall debt free in that category.
