Adventures

I had quite the adventure today. So yesterday I was going to take the glucose test but when I'm just down the street from my doctor's office, I threw up the drink. So this morning I drank the nasty orange beverage on my way to the doctors. I was able to complete the glucose test. BUT as I was walking out of the clinic, I trip on a rise in the sidewalk and fly on the ground. Banged up my left hand and knee and fell on the left side of my belly. So back inside I go to get bandaged up. As my mom, who has been completing her MA externship at my OB's office, is cleaning and wrapping my wounds, another MA is calling my doctor to see what she wanted me to do. My orders where to go straight up to McKay Dee Hospital's Labor & Delivery to be monitored since I did fall on my belly.

I arrive around 10am and they hook me up to the monitors right away. I started in Triage but they transferred me into a room after 10 minutes. Had to wait an hour to drink water and I had already gone an hour without. So I was parched. I told my nurse to bring 3 cups of water and my AWESOME nurse did just that. I needed those 3 cups. My doctor came in about 11:30 to check on me. She said that Cailin was looking good on the monitors and she "examined" me. Everything was still good and where I should be for 29 weeks. She said I could eat around 1-1:30 pm if there weren't any changes and then if things are still good I could go home at 3pm. And that's exactly how the rest of my day went. Cailin, of course, did not like being on the monitors. She was continuously kicking/punching them and moving away so we couldn't pick up her heartbeat. But my nurse was so on top of everything. She was right in to move the monitor as soon as Cailin moved away. A few time Cailin tired to kick/punch my nurse. She thought it was cute.

With how accident prone I am, this is the first time since being pregnant that I've taken a fall. Normally I'm tripping over something at least once a week. But not only am I glad that I haven't been my normal accident prone self, everything was fine. No harm, no foul. I am definitely counting my blessings tonight.

My plans for tomorrow? STAY INSIDE!! Till my Mommy/Daughter Date with my mom to the Midnight Release of Breaking Dawn. She told me today "You ARE Bella Swan." I told her to zip her lips and never say that again. LOL
