I offer my sincere apologies for the lack of posts! Blogging has taken a backseat to a plethora of events and issues that have arisen over the last few weeks.
The last week of November, my blood pressure started to rise to alarming levels. After a number of doctor's visits and a trip to the hospital for monitoring, I was placed on medical leave from work. To ensure my and baby's health, I was prescribed medication and placed under the supervision of an antenatal home care program with daily visits from a nurse. I also started going for weekly fetal assessments and ultrasounds, which was nice -seeing my baby was a bonus- but also stressful -parking around the hospital is atrocious.
To make matters worse, our neighbour's house exploded at the beginning of December. Details are still being sorted out, but our house, shed and Babydaddy's old car caught fire. Damage was entirely exterior, but the firefighters trampled all over our brand new kitchen floors and left soot marks on the walls during their search of the house. We lost all our camping gear and the car was completely destroyed. This happened two days before I officially moved into the house, after all the renovations Babydaddy and his dad did to make the house comfortable for our little family. The move went smoothly, thanks to the assistance of our families and friends and after settling in, I felt infinitely more prepared for baby to arrive. We're still dealing with the aftermath of the fire, but Babydaddy is taking charge of that, meaning more rest time for me.
On the up and up, the fire has given us a reason to sing various renditions of Billy Joel's "We didn't start the fire"...because we didn't.
