Trip to the hospital

I fell down the stairs today. I am fine and more importantly, Max is fine, but nonetheless I spent the afternoon at the hospital with a monitor on my belly and about 4 different nurses asking me what had happened. I honestly just slipped. I have been clearing out my closet, putting things like summer clothes that won't fit me until next summer and winter clothes that I won't need for awhile, into bins to be stored in the closets in our basement. I spent 6 hours or so organizing yesterday and today went out to get the necessary bins. When I got home, I marveled at how it was before noon and I had already made a lot of progress for the day. I was carrying a (small) bin down the stairs and I lost my footing and fell, onto my butt with my foot bent under me. It hurt but I was sure I was fine. I called Damien, then the doctor, then my mother, and then I cried. It is something about a mother's concern that always puts me back to being a little kid. I suppose maybe I will have that effect on Max someday. Anyways, the doctor told me it was up to me whether or not I came in to be checked out but said it may not be a bad idea. So off to the hospital I went with my mom and Damien met us there. I was there a few hours, and everything came back ok. That certainly put my mind at ease so it was worth the trip.

Today's pictures are just a few that I have had on my phone for awhile. I had to take my wedding and engagement rings off the other day as my hands were starting to swell. My friend waited too long and had to cut hers off. I actually have them back on today because the weather is so cool but I will take them off again tonight. I love my rings so much. Damien had them made for me, since he knew I didn't want a traditional ring that had a diamond setting that was raised off of my hand. He did such a great job. The rest of the pics in the photo booth series are some of Damien and I over the past few months.

PS Flickr has changed their website so if anyone knows how to upload pictures using the URL as I have always done in the past, please enlighten me.  I am extremely frustrated right now...
