More baby drama on the high snowbanks of Yellowknife. I took Edzea out to a friend’s house for a kids/adults breakfast party this morning while Daddy slept in. Everything was fine until we were about to leave at 1:00 pm. I stood up to get Edzea organized and had a sharp jabbing pain on my right side. I sat back down and the pain continued any time I attempted to stand/walk/do anything other than sit. So, after waiting it out for about 30minutes, we decided to call Tim and my friend, Lynca, went to pick him up and bring him back so he could drive us home/to the hospital for a precautionary visit.

They sent us straight up to Labour & Delivery and put the contraction/heart rate monitor on the baby. I was supposed to push a button every time the baby moved…which was often and very furiously. So, the long and short of it was-the baby has dropped and is moving so much (AGAIN!) that it is causing my uterus to cramp and my ligament pains to be severe. No contractions, no pre-term labour but I’m supposed to take it easy and call/go in if it gets any worse. I’m a little nervous about the activity level of this little one!

Edzea knew why we were at the hospital. She knew we were there for the new baby although we told her it was going to be a while! We hoped. She loved being there.

Funnily enough, yesterday, I gave Tim a project for my studio room/new spare room and we were going to start on it this afternoon. Now I feel even more urgency! He’s going to build a closet into the studio room and we want it completed asap.

Anyways, all is fine. I’m relaxing on the couch for the afternoon and I’m putting Edzea into the dayhome for another day tomorrow so that I can just sit and do nothing for another day just to make sure nothing progresses too early.

Here are some pics from this morning.

Potty training is still successful, we went out this morning in undies only and no accidents. So far, so good. Three dry days.

Also, Day 2 of sleeping in until 9am with us. Wakes up at 7am, then comes into bed with us and sleeps for another two hours. Please tell me that this is a long term trend!!!

Tim leaves for Iqualuit tomorrow for 3 days. Hopefully all goes well while he’s away.
