Today I am 35/35. That is 35 weeks pregnant and 35 days to go. I can’t believe how fast and how slow it has gone. And to know that she could show up and time now and be perfectly fine is a little overwhelming. I personally hope she decides to hang out for a another 4 weeks at least. We are still working on getting the house together and gathering the important stuff. We still don’t have a carseat, so she needs to hang out inside until we get that done at least!
On Friday morning while working in the lab, I got a call around 3:15 am that I needed to go to the ER to draw blood that they needed on a patient that they couldn’t get. When I worked the evening shift, this was a pretty common request, but since I moved to nights 7 months ago I haven’thad to draw blood even once. I went down to the ER with my phlebotomy tray in hand and ran into the doctor as I walked though the door. “This is probably not going to go well” I said to him, ” I haven’t done this in months”. He responded that it wouldn’t be a problem , he knows I am good at it. So I walked in and asked the nurse who had called me what bed the patient was in. Her response was bed 16, and Janet would take me in and introduce me to the patient. Well my anxiety level jumped 3 notches. Bed 16 is our locked psychiatric bed, and to have to be accompanied by a nurse means the patient is trouble. And to top it off, one of our local police officers was standing leaning on the wall right outside the door. So I geared myself up, walked through the door, and right into a baby shower! They had the whole room decorated with balloons and streamers and table cloths on the stretcher which was covered with food and cake and goodies!!!! I think my jaw hit the floor. When I get copies of the pictures I will share them. I was so overwhelmed, I had no idea they were going to do that.
I hope everyone has a good hoppy bunny day and I will hopefully have more updates soon!
What a great surprise! I am so excited for your little one to arrive
