I'm Broke-ded!


Like my new jewelry? We had an exciting 5+ hour visit to labor and delivery and the (PACKED!) hospital ER Monday evening/early Tuesday morning. All my coughing from this miserable cold I've been fighting caused me to break a rib. It's official...this body of mine is totally broke-ded.

The good news? Baby Pat is no worse for the wear. My complaints are pretty minor...the meds they gave me for pain (narcotics) make me majorly pukey so I'm trying to get by on Tyle.nol alone and there will be no sleeping on my left side for quite a few weeks.

But I've concluded that as long as my goofy-shaped uterus keeps providing baby with an adequate home, I can live with a broken rib or two.
