Updates on us

Since the accident, I've been getting free chiropractor adjustments, massages (at least 2 more!) and everything with DB is looking good. He rotates and stretches and rolls like normal, which is less than I want! I wish he was a little more active, but then again, maybe this indicates a calm baby. Things that have developed since the accident but I'm not sure how related they are, could just be pregnancy- hives that come and go on all my appendages and my belly (NOT fun, and I sometimes want to cut the affected body part off. Midwife thinks it's probably stress related), carpel tunnel (I think) in my right arm, increased swelling during times of high stress (like now, and related to the ct) but my bp is staying low, leg cramps, tenderness on one side of my back/ribs, and a few anxiety attacks or crazy heartburn or something painful in the chest/back. Most of the time I'm doing fine though, and still love being pregnant. I am totally not ready for this baby and I really hope he doesn't follow after his cousin Squeaker, and stays put until 40 weeks! But by looking at my belly (I'll update pictures when I find my camera cord), most people's jaws drop and their eyes get wide when I tell them how much longer I have. Getting lots of twins comments lately!

Also, Hyrum has gotten the flu this week (the real flu). He's quarantined to the basement and yells or plays music on his old phone (his new phone isn't charged so he can't just call me) when he needs something. I bring him meals, vitamins, change the humidifyer, and sleep in another room on our cruton (what Hyrum calls our one-person futon). He seems to be getting better today, but last night I'm pretty sure he thought he was dying. He hasn't been within 15 feet of Squeaker, and we've decided it's probably best for me to stay away from the little guy for another day or so to make sure I don't get sick too, and then pass it to him. I can't wait until I get to hold him again, I'm missing touching his soft little head!

Since several people have asked, the friend that was in the back seat of our car is home. In addition at a 5 inch fracture on her sternum, and 60% of her scapula broken, her clavicle seperated or something and she needs to have surgery. We last talked to them a week ago and they were getting a consult for that, so I don't know what ended up happening. I heard K talking and laughing in the background when Hyrum was on the phone with her husband, and her aunt flew out to help with their 4 kids, and they have a lot of family support around. It looks like things are going as well as they can right now. We also bought a new car, and it is basically the exact ford (bleh) version of our camry. Our neighbors probably wouldn't even notice a difference. But we are happy with it, and happy with the money that we were able to put into savings versus buying a nicer car.

Hopefully I'll be able to find the cord to my camera and can get some pictures up soon!
