even less sleep June 27, 2007
Yesterday, I had a very pleasant evening of horsey activities at the barn with J. We came home and I went to bed, hopeful that I would be able to get a real night’s sleep. But I tossed and turned until 2:30 am, when E. woke up, wanting a drink and to relocate upstairs (sometimes he likes to sleep upstairs). I walked him upstairs and was headed back down when I slipped and fell pretty much all the way down our steep, large staircase, landing with a nasty thud on the tile floor below.
I knew immediately it was a bad fall. My ankle was twisted underneath me, and my belly hit hard.
I began having mild contractions within ten minutes, and they’ve kept up all night. I haven’t slept since. My ankle is sprained and I can’t walk comfortably on it.
I am staying in bed today, with my foot up, and may soon take some of the terbutaline to see if I can get the contracting to stop. It’s mild, but hasn’t stopped.
I hate missing work. Luckily, I can do a portion of my work from home.
That is terrible! Have you called the midwives to see if you should be checked out?
I will be thinking of you, hope you rest well, why don’t you think of calling your doctor.
Have call into midwife. She will tell me to stay off my feet, drink water and take terbutaline.
Please rest! We all want you and your baby to be healthy.
Don’t worry about work!

Hey-
Just saw this…you take care of yourself, ok? Hope everyone is doing much better today.
That’s so scary! I hope that you’re feeling better. Sounds like you have a good caretaker in Jon.
