"The" Week

It's Monday, the start of another week. And this is going to be one heck of a week. The day after tomorrow is c-section day.

Today I had to get up early and be in Viking for 8:30am to get my bloodwork for the crossmatch done. Jamie's mom came and watched Addy while I was gone. I also had to see the doctor to get my blood pressure checked, but the walk-in clinic was at the hospital this morning, so that worked out good for me. I also figured I had better see him because I fell going out to the vehicle this morning.

It was last Monday that we got the loads and loads of snow, and the town still has not come around to clear our street. I would say about 90% of all the streets are done, and even some of them have had the snow removed, not just piled out of the way, but our street always sits and sits and sits. It's packed down where you actually drive, but along the sides where you park it's a mess and we only have street parking.

Anyways, enough of me being long-winded. I fell because the street is a mess, but I ended up on my hands and knees, not my belly. The doctor said you're usually pretty safe unless you land on your belly, but he had a listen to the baby just to be safe and said it sounds good. He also said that while taking a fall like that is very unlikely to hurt the baby, at this stage it could theoretically put me into labor. I promptly told him to not say anything about labor, because I am not going into labor. If I have to have a c-section anyways, no way am I going to endure the pain of labor again first.

For the rest of the day I plan to just take things easy. I need to un-decorate from the party, but that shouldn't take long. I may even just leave it for Jamie to do tonight. There's a bit of laundry to be done, but that's it.

Tomorrow all I intend on doing is finishing up whatever laundry doesn't get done today, or accumulates between tonight and tomorrow. The dogs are going to the groomer for 3pm and it sounds like all 3 of us are going to make that trip, but other than that I am going to enjoy the calm before the storm and spend as much 1 on 1 time with Addy as I can.
