nearly 2 months later

I figured it was time for an update since its been almost 2 months without one.

Things have been going fairly well and smooth. I was finally able to get into physical therapy in the middle of August and found out why my back pain was so bad. My pelvis rotates super easily and then that strains my lower back and makes one of my legs extremely shorter than the other. I was going twice a week from then until last thursday when I went in with no pain and she said to let it go a couple weeks and we'll see how I do but if I'm in any pain to come back. I didn't know that the physical therapy would help my back pain so much! It was a godsend.

I got in a car accident on 9/11 leaving physical therapy. I got tboned right in the drivers side door pulling out of the parking lot of the hospital. After 2 weeks we finally found out that there were no citations to either party but it was my fault according to my insurance since I was crossing traffic. My car is totaled so we are now down to one car and its a pain but we're dealing. The police report doesn't have my full statement on it or speeds that the cars were going which I think should be in it. Anyway I hit my head on the seatbelt topper thing and had a nice goose-egg on my head and had lovely whiplash. i was pulled out of the car through the passenger side and put on a backboard and driven right back into the hospital in an ambulance. My first ambulance ride and it was only a minute long. LOL. I was cleared in the ER. They looked for the baby's heartbeat and the nurse said an average of 128-130 and was worried it was too low but the dr said its normal for a girl. PHEW! Jason finally got there after what felt like an eternity. I was then taken up to Labor and Delivery to have the baby monitored. I got monitored until 830 since the first 4 hours after the accident are when most things can go wrong and they were most worried about placenta abruption and thats what the critical 4 hours was for. Emory was great on the monitors but had moved from when they put it on so it couldn't find her heartbeat and kept going off, I called the nurse and nobody came to fix it. It was rather annoying and I had to hold it on my belly til it found her steady heartbeat. When the nurse came back in at 8 to see how I was doing I had to use the bathroom so she unhooked me and when I came back she found the baby again and then the monitor didn't go off again. I had a delicious hospital food dinner which was actually really good :D MMM. Jason ordered it for me adn he ordered something extra that I didn't tell him to and the "lunch lady" was really grumpy telling him food was only for patients and he said yes I know it is for her. It came and I thought he had really ordered the other sandwich for himself but I hate them both since I hadn't eaten in 7 hours he knew I would be starving and ordered the extra for me. LOL he knows me all too well.

I've become increasingly more tired and worn out the past few weeks. I dont sleep well at night. I sleep about an hour or 2 at a time and then am up for about an hour and repeat...its so frustrating when all I want to do is sleep at normal human hours of the night and not all day. We have less than 6 weeks left til my due date and nothing but clothes and some diapers for her. I feel so unprepared. I dont even think we have enough clothes for her in small sizes but I plan on going through them it the next few days to make sure. The people upstairs from us brought us down a bouncer and a floor play thing yesterday :D I love them they have given us so much stuff. They are also bringing us down there bassinet when she gets it back from her sister in law. I have another shower on Oct. 4...this coming Saturday and hope we get other essentials like the travel system since we dont have a car seat and cant bring her home without one.

I have an appointment tomorrow afternoon with my OB and I may have another update from that.
