Trip to the doctor!









Hey everyone,




A bit of an update. Today I called the doctor to inform them of my accident yesterday and he wanted me to go to the hospital just to get checked out. So I went to the actual labor and delivery unit where I would have the baby if I was here in Augusta for some reason giving birth. They were really nice, but it was a bit wierd because I was hooked up to all of the labor and delivery equipment to monitor the baby's heartrate and any contractions. Fortunately, no contractions at all and little Layla has a surprisingly strong heartbeat. Everyone was really impressed at how well they picked up her heartrate and said she is a big girl which is great. They monitored for an hour and everything was perfect so I was sent home. It was a little taste of what delivery will be like and is makes me even more nervous to go through it alone. It looks like Matthew is potentially not coming home near as early as we thought and the likelihood of me having this baby alone are getting higher by the day. A bit scary and I really pray he makes it because even in that room alone today for an hour was scary. Fortunately, my sister was able to take a few minutes off and I was actually at the unit at HER hospital. So she came to visit and check on me which was REALLY nice. I love seeing my sister's face. She seems to calm me more than most people when Matthew is not around to do it. I am blessed to have her the way I do right now. Thank you, Kristin, for all you are doing for me, Matthew and this little baby! I love you so much and can not thank you enough.




Anyway, I took a couple of pictures because I actually got dressed today and look cute! If you've ever been pregnant, you can appreciate the days where you actually feel decent looking. I wish we could feel this way EVERY day! haha.




Love to all and love with kisses to Matthew.
