After our babymoon Rich and I were prepared to spend the fall enjoying some time together, fixing up our house, and relishing in the last moments of our family of two before baby girl came. But of course, the military had other plans and we learned Rich would be heading to a training in Florida for 6 weeks unexpectedly. This would mean he would miss my birthday, Thanksgiving, three baby showers, and all the plans we had together for the fall! As excited as I was for him and his career, I was pretty bummed to be spending a good portion of this part of my pregnancy without him near by. Things were really starting to get more difficult in terms of getting comfortable and doing housework, so it was daunting to think of doing it by myself.
Here is a little taste of October:
One blustery fall Saturday morning I thought it a good idea to take Ellie for a walk around the block. As would be my luck, I somehow managed to get taken down by her (she is 89 lbs after all...) and ended up having a really bad fall. I bloodied my knees, hands, and elbows and because I wasn't exactly sure how I fell (it happened so quickly) the doctors wanted me to come into labor and delivery for some monitoring. It was incredibly scary but I am grateful that the nurses were very kind to me. It was very surreal being there that day and I had no idea what to expect. Baby girl was find after about 5-6 hours of monitoring and now I know all I really need when we actually go in for delivery!
That same day I was able to attend my co-workers wedding in Williamsburg, despite my little hospital visit. I was bummed to not have my date with me, but it was a great night watching her get hitched!
