sorry about that...

Sorry.... I forgot to do a post last night before I fell asleep. I did nothing yesterday. As I mentioned on Wednesday, I have not been feeling well. I was instructed to call my uni doctor on Friday morning to get some test results and talk about how things are going. So, around 10:30 am I called, but she was with a patient. She is usually very good about calling me... even calling me while she was on Christmas vacation to let me know I had gestational diabetes... BUT yesterday she never called me back. I called her office 3 times, each time I left a message with the front desk (they do not let you leave voice mail). Apparently she was stuck with an emergency patient in the morning that threw off her day. When I called around 2:30 they told me that she still had not taken a lunch... so I understand that she was having a busy day.

The annoying thing for me was all the waiting around. I did not want to shower, in case she called... so I just sat around all day waiting. It was a long day. Tyler's friends took him out to lunch... so it seemed like an extra long day!

I have a hard time telling if I am sick because I am 9 months pregnant and my body is tired... or if I am just plain old sick and need medical attention. If we call the hospital and they have us come in... it is around 1,000 bucks if they admit you. So I was really looking forward to talking with Dr. Salmon so that she could advise me. Tyler and I decided that we would monitor things... make sure that Parker was moving lots and if things got worse we would go call the hospital. Tyler rubbed my back and kept an eye on Parker and I feel asleep early.

So did you ever hear from Dr. Salmon? I'm sure she would have called if there was any concern. So your tests must have bee good. I'm am thinking about you every minute and I am very anxious. The day Ryan voted for is Monday (your Tuesday).

Monday is Monday... Tuesday is Tuesday. Our Monday is the 22nd. Your Monday is also the 22nd. Our Tuesday is the 23rd... your Tuesday is the 23rd. So if he voted for the 22nd... it could not be the 23rd.

And no, I never did hear from Dr. Salmon. And I am also not convinced that not hearing from her means that everything is fine. She does not have a nurse or anyone helping her... so if she did not have time to look at the test, or look at her notes to call me... then who knows what the test said.

Hey Kel!
The waiting game is not much fun...I know. Decker came over a week late, and it began to feel like he was never going to come. I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling well though- I'm sure that makes the waiting even harder.
Katie has kept me updated over the months and I check your site from time to time- which I love by the way!
It won't be much longer and you'll have your little guy in your arms! Please know you and Parker will be in our prayers!! Hi to Tis!
Love~Brina
