No One Could Watch Andrew

Less than a week out of the hospital, Will came down with a stomach virus. I took the rest of the kids to Ryan's basketball practice to avoid the germs. Honestly, I wasn't doing well. I was 6 months pregnant, very sleep deprived, and emotionally and physically drained. After talking to a friend about what was going on, I went to the bathroom to try and pull myself together. There, I discovered that I was spotting worse than I had with the miscarriage. I really thought I was going to lose Ben from the stress. I figured the doctor would tell me to go the hospital, but that led to the next question: What would I do with Andrew? We hadn't had time to train anyone on measuring & drawing up insulin, counting carbs, how to handle lows, etc. I really didn't want to go to the hospital alone, and I just fell apart. Thankfully, when I went home and laid down, the bleeding stopped. It helped us realize that we had to train some help! I was having a baby, and sooner or later, both Gene and I would be heading to the hospital.
