I had a doctor’s appointment this morning. I had forgotten to take Chris’ radio broadcast to my mom to drop off at the radio station Thursday night, so I had to run it up there (about thirty minutes away) myself before my appointment. So, I was rushing around when I got home, trying not to get behind, and I ended up slipping and falling on my way in the house. My foot slipped out from under me, and I fell forward on the concrete steps going up to our porch. I broke my fall with my hands, but my belly is so big it kind of hit the lower steps. I started having more contractions than normal. When I told my doctor what happened, she hooked me up for a non stress test to make sure that the baby was doing okay. He was fine, but it was showing all of my contractions. Some of them were really hurting, so my doctor decided to send me over to labor and delivery to give me a shot of stuff that would stop the contractions so I wouldn’t be hurting and uncomfortable. So I had to go over there, get hooked up again, and they gave me a shot. The shot stopped my contractions pretty quickly. They also made me drink lots (and I do mean lots) of fluids. After about an hour and a half, I felt better than I had felt in days. I was very relieved that I hadn’t hurt the baby in any way when I fell. I didn’t schedule an appoitment for next week, so I guess I will call on Monday and see if they want me to come in before my c-section for another appointment.

Very hectic morning, but all’s well that ends well. My contractions started back this evening, but no where near as many as I was having after I fell. Hopefully, I can manage to keep my feet planted firmly on the ground for the next eight days!

After we got home, the kids had their Bible School program. It was cute. Kyra got so into singing the songs. You could heard her singing loud and clear over the other kids, as she was about half a beat behind on parts of the songs. She puts her whole heart into it, that’s for sure. It was so cute. She kept looking back at me and Chris to make sure we were watching her and hearing her. Elijah’s class was supposed to sing “This Little Light of Mine”, but they mostly just stood there. Elijah barely talks, so singing is a little bit beyond his abilities right now. He looked awfully cute, though. Kyra, on the other hand, sang her little heart out with her class. She did the motions and got all the words. It was adorable. Click here to see a pic of each of them with their class.

Tomorrow is Kyra’s birthday party. It’s hard to believe that she will be four on Tuesday. We are having her party at Frozen Head, and I know she’s going to have a lot of fun. I’ve got her cake in the oven right now, and I am fixing to go wrap her presents. Hopefully, me and my pregnancy brain won’t forget anything major tomorrow.
