The Buzzbees

The last few weeks have been crazy busy for us. Two weeks ago, Eric and I traveled to Louisville, KY for Eric to attend the Gurus of Tech Conference. I worked from the hotel there while Eric went to the conference during the day. I think he had a great time and was able to meet a lot of tech people from around the country. While we were there, the OB Educator from the new clinic called me. She wanted to get all of my health history and then go ahead and schedule me to see Dr. Johnson the next week. So I gave her all of my history over the phone and she schedule my appt with Dr. Johnson the next Tuesday (which would’ve been July 6).

Then, as we were traveling back home on Friday, my older sister Candi called to give me an update from her doctor’s appt. She said she was already 3-4 cm dilated and that the mid-wife said she would go ahead and break her water on Saturday if she wanted. So they opted to go ahead and do that. Eric and I got home about 3 pm on Friday afternoon and repacked a few things, then headed down to Baton Rouge. Candi, Craig, Cameron & I headed to the hospital first thing Saturday morning. Since Candi had tested positive for Group B Strepp, she had to get 2 rounds of antibiotics before they broke her water. So they started the first round at 9:30 am and we had to wait 4 hours before the next round could be put in. So around 1:30, they started the 2nd round and then broke her water around 2 pm. Her contractions started picking up after that and she got into the birthing tub around 3 pm. She gave birth to Cole Benjamin Lindsay at 3:50 pm. He is such a cutie! And I feel so blessed that I got to be a part of the special day with them. I’m so glad that she held out the week we were in Louisville!

So last week, I spent the week in Baton Rouge to help Candi with the other 5 kids. I’m glad that I was able to help her and still be able to work. That’s the perks of working from home! Anyway, Eric came back on Thursday to pick me up and we headed home on Friday afternoon. Although I had a wonderful time being with my family, it was definitely good to be back home with my husband!

And because I spent last week in Baton Rouge, I had to reschedule my OB appt! So we’ll be seeing Dr. Johnson for the first time tomorrow, July 13. It’s been almost 6 weeks since our last appointment. So I’m anxious to see how everything is going. Although, the baby has been really active, moving around and kicking. So I’m sure everything is fine I’ll try to give another update tomorrow after we see the doctor.
