Day of Many Hurdles

I had many firsts today, some of them fun and some of them not so much. Since the reading skills of my readers are quite varied, I've presented two versions of my day for those of you to enjoy. For you readers out there that prefer your reading material to serve double duty as a doorstop, I have included the novella version. For those of you that can't spell anymore due to T9 and have the attention span of a flea, I have the Twitterific version.

Novella v1.0
Mommy woke up bleeding pretty bad and after calling the doctor, Daddy took Mommy and I to the Emergency Room at Mercy for a checkup. On a side note: The new emergency room at Mercy is pretty impressive! Nice job Mercy Nuns! After getting admitted, the valet informed us our car broke down and was blocking the emergency room entrance, so Daddy had to call AAA while Mommy got checked out my the on duty nurses. The nurses didn't find anything too out of the norm so they sent us home... well sent us to lobby while daddy battled with security who was going to tow the car since AAA showed up and left without looking at the vehicle. Luckily, my cute little mug won the day and the mean security guy relented, and AAA came back for another swing and got us started. So ended my First trip to the ER.

As soon as we got home, mommy started bleeding even faster, so the ob/gyn on call sent us back to Mercy for a sonogram. Daddy, being a smart daddy, decided to take his car instead of the Jeep, also because it is cooler (since it sports a ski rack :-)). While we waited in the ER for Mommy to get checked out, a plethora of alarms and sirens went off to let us know the main building of the hospital was on fire. Fire trucks and emergency vehicles galore came and the buildings all went on lock down. As it turns out, someone decided hospital halls are a good place to light up some Marlboros! I, however, am unfazed by such trivialities and slept the event away in my carrier while mommy worried as mommies all do.

I think the alarms triggered Mommy's defense instinct, so she sent daddy home with me and Grandma came to stay with Mom in the ER. As the sonograms would later show us, I left some of my escape tools in her belly and poor mommy would need an anesthetic nap and a D&C to clear the materials away. Naps are fun though right? It also meant that Dad and I would have an afternoon together at home YAY!

Let me change that to BOO! Nap time meant a surgery for mommy which is not a fun nap. Another big BOO because the hospital was air conditioned and home was not. A hot house combined with having to eat formula for the first time made me a cranky poo! Later on my crankiness continued while daddy had to go to Walmart to pick up medicine for mommy. Yet again my cuteness stole the show though as some lady offered dad her two older kids in exchange for me. I've thus learned that if you are beautiful, you can act up and still get what you want :-).

Mommy was pretty tired when Grandma brought her home, so she went to sleep for the night while dad and I stayed up for some late night tv. Lucky for him, there was a marathon session of Men in Black on the tube (or infomercials). By morning mom and I were both well rested and doing well... and daddy well he could recite MIB by heart, what a cool talent!

Over all quite the challenging day, but it all turned out alright. I'm glad mom is ok and dad, well quoting MIB is the least of that man's issues.
