Update on the bloody mucous: I'm still spotting and cramping a bit, but it has definitely lessened so we won't be going to the ER. Needless to say, I didn't get much sleep last night.

Holy crap. Where did the time go? Here are the few differences that I have noticed: No round ligament pains with this pregnancy! If you can remember, my round ligament pains with Claire were more painful than...
