90 days!!

Not that I am meticulously keeping track or anything...

Pregnant and sick and some other stuff

Not my favorite combination.

I have been getting some flack for not blogging regularly enough. Apparently, you don't have to wait until something major happens to blog.

So this past week has been fairly horrific. Russ got sick the weekend before last. Sinus Infection-ish. We thought we were doing so good at keeping his germs isolated, until last Wednesday night I started to not feel so good. By Friday I was full out sick. The doctor said it was Strep, and probably a sinus infection too. It is taking me forever to get over it.

There's been more drama. Thursday I was driving a company car to one of the other clinics. I was backing into a parking space and I hit a railing/concrete block behind me. There wasn't any damage to the car, but it hit just hard enough to make me feel concerned. I called the doctor's office and they advised me to come in if I could, but I really couldn't leave work just then. I kept going back and forth about it (I could still feel her moving around in there), when I finally realized that if I didn't go I would be worried until my next doctor's appointment on the 28th. Well, since I was going to the doctor, company policy required that I fill out all the worker's compensation paperwork. Then my supervisor called back and said the nurse at work also had to do a drug screen on me before I left. Ha. Since I haven't taken anything harder than Tylenol in about six months. Of course my coworkers did try to scare me when the results came back. Everything was fine at the doctor. They did an ultrasound and Campbell looked great. She was trying to suck her little thumb but she couldn't quite get it in her mouth.

I was telling the sweet ultrasound technician how silly I felt - as it really wasn't a big deal. She remarked, "well, it's not just you that you are thinking about anymore". That really made me think. Of course over the past six months I have gotten used to making decisions about food/medication with regards to how it will effect her, but I realized that this is going to be on a much bigger scale for the rest of our life. Financially, emotionally, spiritually, practically - Russ and I are having to learn to make decisions (even decisions that we feel like only effect us) with regards to how it is going to effect her. Yesterday I was walking to my car from work and this lady stopped me and asked me for a ride. Normally, I don't think I would have thought twice about it, but the first thing that I thought was about what that ultrasound tech had said, and realized it might or might not be safe for me, but I wasn't comfortable putting Campbell in any danger. What an exciting, overwhelming, scary responsibility.

On a more exciting note...99 days until Campbell's due! She has started moving so much more, to the point that sometimes it looks like there is an alien in my stomach. I hope the next fourteen weeks FLY by!
