... curled up together on a hospital bed. Or, should I say, falling out of a hospital bed since one of us was dealing with some massive leg pain and the other was 34 weeks pregnant with a belly that was in the way of everything.
Over our time in town, Joshua had a bump on his upper left thigh that looked like a bad bug bite. The night of our baby shower it got so bad that, after we had driven all the way home, he decided that we should turn back around and go to the emergency room. They admitted us right away and then we spent 4.5 hours in the hospital room waiting for the doctor to come. I hated every moment of seeing my husband in pain, and I will just say having no place to rest and no food for this 34 week preggo was just plain wrong... The doctor and nurse ended up doing a 10 minute surgery in the room (I got to watch the whole thing-- I love that stuff!) and it looks like Joshua might have a form of staff infection. We aren't quite sure yet but he's in a lot of pain and we are just laying low. He'll get an extra couple of days off from work and I'm looking forward to that extra time together.
I guess we'll always have an interesting story to tell baby E about the night of our baby shower...
Other than that, we had a wonderful trip back home to San Diego. Our trips home are always nice, but this one was particularly wonderful. I feel so refreshed & rejuvinated from lack of time with technology. I must confess that it is so good for the soul to get away from all social media for a bit. I loved every second of time with my family and my in-laws and all the fun that we had in between...
Our baby shower brought together all of my favorite people in the world in one spot and I truly wish I could just freeze those moments forever. We had the shower down at the bay, across from the beach, and the weather couldn't have been more amazing. We grilled carne asada, opened gifts, watched the kids play on the playground, and just enjoyed one another's company. My mom planned the whole thing and we couldn't have asked for a shower that was more "us." Thanks Mom!
It's good to be home and back in our new home! I keep going through the rooms of our house and have to remind myself that this is our home now. We own this home and we don't ever have to leave it. When you take time away, it really does open your eyes to a whole slew of things... I'm off to go play with all the baby gifts while Joshua continues to sleep... How is your week going so far? Good, I hope! Happy Tuesday! xo
