More Ouch

Does pregnancy ever end??!?!?!?! Geez, it's not that I don't love pregnancy, because I do...I've been very lucky...BUT sometimes I feel like I'm falling apart, each day a new adventure, a new pain... Last week I self-diagnosed myself with a bruised tailbone (how I had bruised it I NEVER figured out, just assumed it was from sitting on it with my now 205 lbs). Well, after days of increasing pain, by friday night I swore it was swelling, which panicked me because I figured the bone was in very bad shape. Soooooo, through a series of odd events I actually woke up early Saturday morning to go to the Walk-In clinic and who'da known that it was NOT the bone, but an infected something or another (cyst? abcess?) and required 2 shots, a scalpel cut, lots of pusing to drain it, plenty of water, and gauze to stuff under the skin :( I didn't complain to much, my only real comment was... "WELL, I better get used to pain real quick!" After this I actually had less pain then I had in the previous days, but because of where it was, and my sensitive state of pregnancy, it was bed rest for me the rest of the weekend with return trips to the clinic Sunday to remove and restuff the wound, then tuesday to remove for good. So far so good, looks like I am pretty much healed. Bad news for me though is that I am on anti-biotics AGAIN :(

As far as Eva goes, we went to the mid-wife yesterday and we are in very good shape. I was lucky to get an ultrasound last week and the amazing little girl has hair!!!! I can't wait to meet her :) Last night I went to a pediatricians office for a "pre-natal" night, and I just love the place. As long as I can get my insurance straightened out ASAP (I've been trying for a couple months now) I will be able to take her there. I recently bought her carseat, which was traumatizing for me, i HATE comparison shopping, but I feel I made a good choice and her safety and comfort are well worth the money (I didn't get the cheapest thing out there.) Yesterday I started gathering some things for the hospital, I figure it's about time to get serious about this. However, I've got LOTS more to do. As much as I want her today, I really do need the time.

On a random note, as I was driving yesterday I was thinking about a phrase that popped into my head... "There are no mistakes in life, only choices". I have developed any real thoughts about it yet, but so far i agree. Do you?
