We're here!

It's been an interesting week. All was dandy until Sunday night, when I found myself calling the doctor in Rochester at 1 am. It was a minor problem, but one I wanted to check out. Now mind you, our insurance didn't kick in until midnight on Tuesday, so I wasn't sure if they'd even accept my call, but to their credit, they did. The doc said I was probably ok, but he'd prefer I went to the closest ER, which was a nightmere I wanted to avoid. He made me promise that I'd call the office and go in the next day.

OK, so next day: We drove to Rochester about 3, the doctor took one look at me and sent John and I straight to labor and delivery at Rochester General, still with no insurance. They hooked me up to a baby monitor and proceeded to tell me horror stories about what was most likely not to happen: going into labor and losing the baby. The baby appeared to be absolutely fine. I have to admit, two things stayed in my mind: 1) They were dwelling on small percentages of bad things happening, which no one could stop, and 2) our insurance didn't kick in until midnight.

After five hours they finally let me go, smiling and waving, telling me there was no problem to be found, but I had to stay on bed rest until further notice. We were supposed to move into our Rochester apartment the next afternoon, and we were supposed to go back to Buffalo that night to pack the car. We did neither. We drove to Palmyra, where John's grandmother was more than happy to have company, and my parents drove in the next day with enough of our stuff to get us through the week. (I know I could have called the Rochester Hunnies in a pinch, which made me feel much better!) They stayed with me while John started his job Wednesday morning. It's worked out fine.

I did have an ultrasound yesterday, this time with coverage, and all appears well. Baby Snyder is kicking up a storm. If anything, he's more active, and now weight 1 lb 6 oz. I am now allowed to go grocery shopping, so long as I don't carry anything, and get out of bed a bit at a time. I'm still taking it easy. Perhaps I overdid it in Århus packing up the apartment, and the trip was just too much. I'll never know. Meantime, we have plenty of help coming in to help us get the furniture in tomorrow.

We now have a phone (I'll send all of you the number by email) and internet as of this morning. Tomorrow we actually get furniture! I guess I'm in charge of bossing everyone around from a lawn chair. I still miss my Hunny so much, but it's getting easier. I hope to see the Rochester Hunnies soon- after this weekend, we'll have somewhere for you to sit!
