Starting week 35!

So...normally I would have said this was a week like any other...but...yesterday (wednesday) I woke up with swollen feet and decided I would treat myself to some flip flops! :)
After packing my lunch and preparing my coffee I headed out the door to drop of some Thank You letters on a crummy rainy day. As I stepped on our marble steps and turned toward the mailbox, my right foot slipped on the rain puddle on the step and I flew backwards. I hit my head on the corner of the brick and marble and somehow rolled down the steps leaving the imprints on my back.
In order to make sure Joao would come to my rescue I had to let our a little yell; which woke up my neighbor and caused another neighbor to run his ass off down the street! What a pitiful sight I was...crying with blood all over my hands from the gash in my head.
So Joao took me to the ER. We got in really fast and they were really super. The nurse suggested staples but I asked her if it was totally necessary so she brought in the doctor...he confirmed immediately I would need them. Never having been in a hospital for anything but a check up I got really nervous. BAMM BAMM BAMM...three staples in my head! I plugged my ears so the sound would not creep me out! hehee
Well after the whole staples thing, they asked if I would be willing to go up to labor and deliver so they could observe me for an hour...at first I was not totally down, but then I decided FINE...I need to be a good mom. SO we went. The next thing you know, I am having to stay for a 23 hour observation period!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Arhhhggg, I was so annoyed. They were concerned because I was having contractions every 3-5 minutes...but I didn't even know some of them were happening. With the help of some friends visiting me, the time passed by and they released me in the manana! So here I am, sore, and tired. I am just happy Baby Norona is okay! I really want to have this baby now...time is going so slow! Plus Claudia y Raul had Rulo and I am not so anxious to have my baby! Six more weeks!
