Our Landon's room is, for the most part, completed! My husband did such a good job.As some of you may know, I was able to get a small job helping out with the babies in the nursery at church. I was happy that this would give me a little bit of practice for when Landon comes, and started the job about 3 weeks ago. I only do this on Sunday mornings and last week we didn't have enough babies in the nursery so they didn't need me to help. So, today was only the second time of me helping out.
The day was going pretty well. I was one of 3 workers in my classroom and there were 4 baby girls in the room. I would guess they were all around 15 pounds or so. I am carrying quite a bit of weight already so sometimes that makes things a little harder. All of our babies were crying at some point so we just needed to try to get the one in our arms calmed down. One of the babies was sleeping in the crib and I was able to get the one in my arms settled and pretty much content when the baby in the crib started to wake up. I had been holding different babies for about 30 minutes so I knew my arms were going to need a rest soon. I set my content baby in a swing while I went to get the baby that was waking up out of the crib so she wouldn't go hysterical. I took her in my arms and went over to the rocking chair because I needed my break for my arms. I sat down and it was such a relief to have the weight relieved off of my arms, yet something worse was about to happen and I didn't even know it. I was looking down at the baby and she seemed pretty happy with me. We were just looking into each others eyes when all the sudden I felt it hit me. My whole body was starting to burn up so I asked the other workers if it felt hot in the room. One of the workers said "no, seems about right". I said "oh, I am like burning up and things are starting to get dark...I might end up passing out". They got up really fast and started getting wet paper towels and a wet rag on me. Someone called the paramedics, but what seemed to help was when they got the little girl I was holding off of my tummy. One of my co workers prayed over me right away and I felt better after a few minutes. I was already up and walking around when the paramedics showed up. They went through their routine and took my blood pressure and blood sugar. They also checked my eyes, but everything seemed to be fine with me. I refused going to the hospital because I felt fine and didn't feel like I needed to go. I know this routine by now and I know that if they took me to the hospital they wouldn't find anything wrong with me. With that aside, I want to avoid the hospital until we know we have some form of insurance.
All in all, Landon and I are doing fine. I think what happened today was caused by the extra weight of the baby girl on my little Landon. I was just trying to take on too much weight in one area of my body. Someone said that maybe Landon was jealous. Haha, that would be funny. He already wants his mommy to himself. He doesn't want to share me with other little babies. He is just too cute!
