Heading to the zoo, but end up in the E.R. ???

Well, we started off our Sunday morning as usual as any other, but with fun plans to hit the zoo for some family time!
After getting everyone ready, I headed in to get myself ready and felt a big "gush". What the???? So I head to the bathroom and notice I am bleeding an awful lot. I am bleeding so much, that I finally call Naomi to see if she might have time to watch the kids, just in case something is wrong.
Well, my gut feeling is right, something is wrong for sure. After a call in to my doc, they inform me that I need to get to the emergency room and have this checked out.
So, we go take the kids to Naomi's ( thank you so much Nay!) and then off for a 4 hour adventure at Jordan Valley hospital.
I get my IV hooked up, and all my stats going, and after a pelvic exam, they figure out that I am hemorrhaging. This isn't the best of news for the day!
I go in for an ultra sound and they find some good clots in there. Oh goody.
Afterwards they had me take a pill, that is going to make my uterus contract, which will help the bleeding.
Jordan Valley was really good with this, and sent me on my way with a script for 5 more of those pills, that had to be taken every 4 hours, so I didn't get much sleep last night.
I am supposed to be taking it easy now, and will meet with my doc in a few days to get this checked up on.
I will keep you updated!
Hope everyone is doing okay. Sorry for the long post.
Everyone else at our house is doing good.
Much love to you all!
Me
