Llama, Llama. Pregnancy Drama!

Last night at 24 weeks, 4 days, I started bleeding....heavily.  By the time we made it to the hospital, the bleeding had eased a bit.  Ultrasound showed baby and placenta are fine, so they aren't really sure where the bleeding was coming from.  They were about to send me back home when the bleeding picked up again, so I was admitted.  Monitoring overnight showed baby continuing to do well.  

Today I was scheduled to have an MRI to locate the source of the bleeding, which has almost completely stopped.  But I'm unable to lay on my back for more than a minute or two before baby cuts off my breathing and circulation.  After 2 tries with my arms going numb and almost passing out on the second try, the tech decided that obviously was not possible.  This afternoon doctors orders had me up and walking for 20 minutes to see if the bleeding would start again... Nothing!   

A bit more bleeding this afternoon, but very light means another night in the hospital for me.  Hopefully home tomorrow!

Update:  Bleeding pretty much stopped and headed home from the hospital today!  No running marathons, but no activity restrictions either!
