A great day! And then a not so great day...

Oh my FUCKING gawd... what a day... *collapses*

Well, it started yesterday, actually... And yesterday was a pretty awesome day, at least for me and Alexandra. :-) We went to the Open Preschool in the area. They have special hours for kids 0-1 years old (9-12am on Thursdays), so it is only babies and their moms (and some dads) there. It's really nice! Both for me and Alexandra! She gets to hang out with babies her age, and I get to talk to other moms. It's awesome. :-) I've been there twice, and I am SOOOO keeping this up! I've gotten it into my head that it is good for Alexandra and her development, you know?

When I was pregnant I went to some classes to prepare for the birth, and when I did, I meet another mom there that expected twins that was very nice. And what do you know... She goes to said Open Preschool to! :-D So we hung out a bit and talked and had a good time. She is great, and we decided to meet up next week to. :-) She is bottle-feeding to, btw (we talked about that a bit). She tried breastfeeding both of her twins for two months, but it was a pain in the ass to do so apparently. X-D So she went to bottle-feed them since then she could feed one and get help feeding the other. :-) Makes sense. She was SO fun to talk to! Gonna be great to do so again! Was plenty other nice parents and kids there to, of course. Felt SO much more welcome there then at the parenting group, my gawd...

Anyway, the plan was for peting73 to join us, since he has this week off. Alas, that did not happen, unfortunately. Since he had a lunch-date with a workmate... or ex-workmate I might say, since he just go fired, poor man... :-/ And he was SO nice to! Anyway, so of course he wanted to meet up with him.

Me and Alexandra had a lot of fun, peting73 had a good time with his friends and then we meet up at home again to just hang out for the rest of the evening. :-)

I took a nap, and peting73 took care of Alexandra...

Then I woke up... and peting73 was standing laughing and groaning in pain at the same time... Apparently he had had a snap in his back when he was putting Alexandra in her baby sitter, and then he'd just fallen over and been rolling on his back on the floor in front of her in pain... (Which our daughter had found fun, apparently!) He was in SOOOO much pain he could barely walk...

So we went to bed early (me taking care of Alexandra the rest of the evening), he stealing some of the pain-meds I have for my bad menstrual cramps.

Today? He was worse. Much worse. He more or less crawled around the apartment. Swearing and groaning in pain... nearly throwing up from the pain! Still stealing my pain-meds, but now they made NO difference. We called 1177 to get medical advice and they told us to contact the local district health care center. So we did. They wanted us to come there...

Right. With a 3 month baby, how would I be able to help peting73 walk AND take care of her at the same time? Because he said there was NO WAY he would be able to walk down the stairs and get in the backseat of the car! (Alexandra travels in the frontseat.) So that was out. Only option left, ambulance. So we called the ambulance and they came her and helped him get to a Doc at the hospital instead.

Just after they picked him up, of course Alexandra got hungry... And did I mention it was laundry-day today? With a shitload of laundry courtesy of Alexandra? So, I quickly took Alexandra with me to the laundry room, and fixed some loads of laundry... feed her food... and while I was doing that, peting73 called, said he'd gotten some strong pain-meds and we had to pick him up so he could go to another Doc and get some more on prescription... and could we get there as soon as possible?

Cue stress... You don't do things quick with a 3 month old. And she hadn't finished eating! o.O

So, gladly Alexandra was in a good mood today, so she finished eating quite quickly, and while I was getting her and myself dressed...

The phone rang. spicehobbit, my best friend. And I usually talk LOOONG with her on the phone. Not now though, told her sorry and hung up. Right. Back to get me and Alexandra ready, right? Or so I thought. The door-bell rang! Me = ARGH! Opened the door with a partly dressed Alexandra on the arm. Two more ambulancemen who wanted to pick up peting73. Confusion! But we settled it quickly and me and Alexandra could FINALLY go pick up peting73 at the hospital... even if we went to the wrong entrance at first... and got JUST in time to the meeting with the other Doc at another District health care center. PHEW!

My adrenaline was flying high at this point and I was stressed beyond belief, shugging Alexandra with me everywhere. She is heavy, and peting73 can't really help me carry her, can he?

Phew. Anyway, he has apparently ended up with a bad case of lumbago, and he has some more pain meds to deal with the pain. And he was advised to get massage on somewhat regularity since his back was unbelievably tense as well.

Home, I fixed dinner from the stuff I'd shopped during the day... Oh yeah, I managed to go shopping with Alexandra somewhere in there to... So I fixed dinner as well, finished of the laundry... Made sure peting73 had everything he needed... so he could feed Alexandra her evening/night meal...

Aaaaand... now I am just ready to collapse.

But first, some wicked fanfic for me. I think I deserve it. Oh, and I got ice-cream...
