Dear Baby,
Something happened yesterday that had your dad and I worried about you. Around 2 PM, I felt some slight cramps in my abdomen. I didn't think much of it. Later on, I went to use the bathroom in the precinct and noticed that I was bleeding quite a bit. I panicked. I raced out of the bathroom to where your dad was talking to your uncles. I pulled him aside and almost started crying as I told him about it. He had fear written all over his face. Not two seconds later, he instructed me to meet him in the car while he grabbed all of our things so we could go to the hospital.
Your dad sped through the streets to the closest hospital and dropped me off at the emergency room while he went to find a place to park. I later found out he parked illegally nearby. I headed into the hospital and told a nurse that I was 13 weeks pregnant and bleeding a lot. She told me to take a seat and a doctor would be out shortly, but in the mean time had me fill out paperwork. Your dad came bursting through the door a little while later and started demanding that I see a doctor right away. I think the doctor finally saw me just to shut him up for a bit, but I'm glad your dad did what he did.
The doctor didn't seem as concerned as we were and I wasn't sure if that comforted me or made me even more nervous and angry. He had a nurse bring in an ultrasound machine and he took a look at you. It was the first time we ever got to see you. Your dad and I were in awe at seeing you on the screen. Your heartbeat was strong he said and it looked like the placenta was over my cervix which was why I was bleeding. He assured me that you were okay and that I should have a follow-up with my doctor. Your dad and I let out a huge sigh of relief. We weren't losing you. I don't know what I would have done if we did lose you. I would be devastated to say the least, but we didn't. We still have you and I will be forever grateful for that.
Remember I will love you for always.
Love, Mom
