Making my Pregnancy even more Difficult...

For those who don't know I succeeded in breaking my leg/ankle in 3 places on March 6. I was at Cost Cutters getting the boys hair cut for their big trip to Texas with just Grandma and Grandpa to see Uncle Shawn become a Rescue Hero like Jake Justice. ( Jake Justice is a police officer and my brother just graduated this last Friday to become a police officer.) Well anyways AC was getting his hair cut and I was holding Trace. I stood up to show them something with AC's hair and when I went to sit down I caught the foot rest in the barber chair, the entire chair twisted and I started falling. Well Momma's instinct kicked in and I turned to protect my babies (truth be known Trace was the only one to cross my mind because he was the one I physically could see and hold) well I turned to land on my back and my leg twisted underneath me. I broke my Tibia in 2 places and my Fibula in 1. Yes it is extremely painful and actually a complete pain considering I am 36 weeks pregnant and on crutches.

I went to the doctor (the same one my father went to when he broke his collar bone and to tell you what a good doctor he is he actually remembered my dad). They took me out of the unstable splint and put my in a bright green cast (my husband asked me if it glowed in the dark). I chose this color because green in my oldests favorite color, mine too but it was for AC. Trust me it doesn't match anything in my wardrobe so it was definately for AC. They took another s-ray because there was a minor displacement, and it has moved a little but if it heals like this it would be okay. They want to see me in a few weeks (after the baby is born) to see if it has moved anymore. If it has there is a possibility of surgery, but they won't do anything until after the baby is here. They gave me a water proof cast which is kinda uncomfortable but the doctor joked that it was because if my water broke it wouldn't ruin the cast. Like I said he is a good doctor.

I go see my OB/Gyn today, and I know I will get picked on for being a clutz. This pregnancy has been somewhat difficult and I just added another difficulty. I get to be in a cast for delivery. I will also find out today if I will have to have another sonogram because they are concerned about my weight gain (or lack there of, I have only gained according to their records 6 pounds according to mine 12, they go by first doctors appt. (which was almost 3 months in this case) and I am going by my start weight, and also the fact that I measured a little small this last appointment.) So if there is still a discrepancy then they will do a sono to make sure the amniotic fluid is okay because the measurements they do says the baby is.
Well I will keep you all updated and I know my mom will pass this on to those on her list. I would appreciate the prays for my family and myself. I have been living with my mom since the fall (even though she hasn't been here for almost a week) because I live in an upstairs apartment. Now with the cast I hope to be going home because I know my parents are happy as empty nesters and not use to having toddlers around 24/7. I have no doubt in my mind that they would let me stay but I am ready to go home to my home. Even though I like the comp and big screen tv . Like I said if you will just keep us all in your prayers I would appreciate it and will try to keep you updated as much as possible.
