A Slimy Baby Bump

Yesterday, it rained, and yesterday, Sam and I fell down like we were sliding into home plate to win the World Series! Before you worry too much, I'll tell you that Sam, Sarah, and Mommy are perfectly ok! Sam got dirty, God forbid, and I felt fine right after the fall, but then I started having weird baby movements which turned into weird Mommy feelings, so I went to triage.

I find it very difficult to believe that with all of the modern technology out there, that it's still such an "ancient" procedure to monitor a baby's heart rate! For the hour that I was at triage, more than half of the time, the nurse was trying to find Sarah's heartbeat with the monitor. For those of you that don't know, they have to smear the slime, as I call it, all over the monitor which results in slime being smeared all over my 35 week baby bump (only a little over 4 weeks to go)!

Why can't someone please invent something that effectively and efficiently monitors the baby's heart rate? Puhlease?! I'm sure OB nurses everywhere would agree!

With Mommy and Sarah being ok, my ankle is, yet again, smashed! Wonderful! Now, I'm really a Weeble Wobble - except that I fall down!
