an active baby and a sleepy patient

I went to see my new OB yesterday and i loved her! she did an ultrasound with me and the BABY is SO BIG now! I saw his/her little hands waiving at me... yes my baby has FIVE FINGERS not less/not more... and i saw the legs kicking none stop... An active child... or a difficult one ?! we have to watch out!

afterwards we went to drop off my husband at the hospital for surgery. the appointment was 12:30pm but the traffic was terribly bad... and because he didn't eat all day he was grouchy and had a bad temper... I don't know where I had the strength (must be God) to be so calm... i think i would usually get mad also... but yea, i was calm and tried to be funny. God is good!

I dropped him off at around 1:30pm and wanna some bubble tea. So I drove from upper east side down to st. marks. No Parking... I then drove to chinatown thinking there might be parking near church and I can hang around there till 4ish to pick up my husband... no parking!

I was really thirsty then, so drove back up to upper east side and parked the car. That's like 4pm already.... I basically stuck in traffic all day and did nothing. What a way to waste time and gas!

I parked the car at the garage near the hospital and went up waiting for him.... I thought that he's be out by 5, but almost two hour passed by, i didn't see him. Then i found out that he called and texted me for a couple times. I walked out, and he was there. They covered the bottom of his nose with gauze pad and i t looked really funny... i started to laugh, then I realized that he was feeling terrible... How insensitive I was...

I tried my best to get home as soon as possible, but because of the traffic, we got back like 7:30. His nose was still bleeding. I changed the gauze pad for him once an hour and wiped his face clean. I had a very strange feeling coz this is my first time taking care of a patient. I had to be very careful because I can't put any pressure on his nose, but then because the blood already got hardened it was difficult to clean up...

I knew he felt terrible so I let him sleep. This morning I helped him clean up the blood again... Thank God that he's not bleeding as much! He didn't want to eat anything coz I think they stabbed needles into the back of his tongue. So I went and bought ground beef and some vegetables and used the blender to make a soup out of them. I then cooked the oatmeal with the soup so he can eat it without hurting his throat. I feel like making baby food haha!

He was sleeping all day so that was good for his recovery!

I learned a lot about love this past two days and I feel that I'm learning to be a care-taker... it's a good day!
