Well it has been one of those weeks.  It has been up and then it went WAY down.  

I will start with the bad first.

On friday afternoon I was just laying on the couch relaxing and about to take a small nap.  My phone starts to ring and I look and its Stephen.  I answer thinking he is just calling to tell me if I need anything on his way home.  Nope, that is not the case.  First he asks me if I am dressed and took a shower.  I say no why.  What are we going to do.  He then takes a deep breathe and tells me not to freak out.  Well of course when someone tells you not to freak out you basically start to freak out.  He told me that he thinks that he broke his arm at work.  I started to freak out.  I yelled and started to get scared.  He was at work and had the wheel barrel full of concrete and he slipped and fell right on his left arm.  He was taken to the Hospital out where he was working which is like an good hour drive away from our house.  I didn't have the car and I was freaking out and crying.  I had to wait for his friend to come and get me so i could go out to the yard to get the car and then drive all the way out to the hospital where he was.  By the time all that was said and done he was released.  Thank God that he didn't break anything but he did however rip/tear his biceps.  We wont know fully until he goes to a specialist next week sometime, but until then he is out of work and thinks that he will now be going back to work at all for the rest of the year, because by the time that he is healed it will be that time that everyone will be getting laid off.  Needless to say I am stressed and worried about things.  

Nadia will be here anytime now and its just going to be so hard taking care of Stephen and Nadia.  This is the first full day of him being hurt and not being able to do anything and I am exhausted.  I had to do all the running and cleaning.  I feel bad for Stephen tho because he is in so much pain that it is so hard for him to move and do anything.  Just showering is hard for him.  I had to help him with that.  

*sigh*

Its going to be a long fall and rest of the summer.  I just see it now.

Well onto something less depressing.

We adopted a cat named Daffodil on Thursday.  (the day before Stephen got hurt guuuh)

She is one of the sweetest cats that I have had.  She loves to lay on the couch and cuddle with me and Stephen.  Luckily Stephen isn't allergic to her at all.  She is 3 yrs old and is a mix short hair breed.  They call her a Dilute Torti color.  I just love her coloring.  I took her to the vet today to get her wellness checkup and she passed.  Thankfully.  One less thing that I have to worry about.  

relaxing.

sleepy kitty.

Another thing that isn't depressing.  I am officially full term.  If I go into labor now they would not sop it and Nadia will be here.  I am currently 37 weeks and 1 day.  I can feel her moving around and kicking and punching.  I have been having those Braxton hicks contractions and they are getting annoying.   I have had them all day off and on.  Nothing to be concerned about tho.. 

Well not yet at least.  Lets hope that all this stress with Stephen doesn't send me into early labor.

37 weeks even in this photo.

Please pray for us.
