Geez... it has been a crazy day. Got off to a good start this a.m. Went to work, left E home w/ G and he was going to drop her off at LA's at noon. Well, let me remind you that LA is very prego and due Aug 30th... she had her 37 week appt. today... Should have been a pretty routine appt, except for the fact that LA told the dr she hadn't felt the baby move as often lately. So some tests were run and it was basically decided that her placenta isn't providing the proper amount of nutrients to the baby. The baby is small for it's age (only approx 4lbs) so the dr said that he thought the baby could be better taken care of outside of her body than inside w/ the way her placenta was currently working... so at this time she has been in the hospital for about 10 hours and is being induced... (and I hope she doesn't mind me blogging about her if she's reading this!)
I am praying so hard that everything works out ok. I am scared for her and the baby. :(
So back to my day... at 10 minutes to 12 LA called me to tell me she wouldn't be able to watch E cuz her appt wasn't as quick as she expected it to be. So THANK GOD for my bff J, who took E in an instants notice! After the hussle and bussle of a few phone calls and scramming to get E from here to there, all settled down and G got to work on time. Work flew by... I am so freaking busy right now. It sucks. Job security I guess.
But then I started to get a bit more riled up. I realized LA is going to have a baby! I was planning on our last day of DC being next Thursday! I still have 3 days to go!!! I'm not ready to give her up yet!?!?!?! :( I guess you can never count on a baby to go along w/ your plans... that baby is coming whether we like it or not!!! :) I can't wait to meet him (yes it's a boy). It'll all work out. My wonderful father will help us as much as we need it cuz he is such a great grandpa! Plus I have a super cool sis who is the greatest aunt EVER... and 2 awesome bff's T & J. (Can you tell I am trying to butter them all up!) No but really. We appreciate all that they do for us, we'd be completely lost without their help!
After work today I went to pick up E at J's house. We decided to go have a coffee at Starbucks... mmmmm... then we went to famous footwear and I got E 2 pairs of shoes. LA called me then and said she wouldn't mind some company so J and I thought we'd stop at Walmart and put together some fun little gift bags for her. J bought her a really cute pair of yellow pj's. She also go the kids each on of those black velvet screens that come w/ markers and you color the picture inside the velvet lines (ya know what I'm talking about?? I'm not sure if they really have a name?). I put together a few practical things that I know she'll use right now such as her favorite chapstick, a notepad and a pen (I love to read my hospital journal once in a while) a glamour magazine, some yummy smelling lotion and a nail file. She seemed to enjoy the gifts and seemed even happier to have the company. She's got a long night ahead of her... if not a long couple days...
My eyes are drooping as we speak... I have to get some sleep. Take care and goodnight. K
