Wednesday morning I didn't get up and run because I was going to West Valley to help my sis in law, Heidi, (36 weeks pregnant with twin girls) out for the day. I watched Landon (her 3 year old) while she went to the doc for a check up. When she came home she said the doc had scheduled her for a C section on Nov 19.
We had lunch together and then had planned to make some freezer meals that she could pull out when needed. No sooner did we start when she started having contractions. I continued to chop and put the meals together while she breathed through each one. We got a bit concerned as they were about 3 minutes apart. We called Jeremy and told him and then called the doc to see what he wanted her to do. Of course he wanted her to go in and get monitored. Jeremy ended up coming home from work a bit early and they headed to the hospital. I stayed and finished the meals and took care of their other two children.
Well, sure enough they were the real thing and they ended up doing a C section that night at 8:30. Sweet little Savannah and Whitney made their grand entrance into this world. Luckily I could stick around and stay with the kids through the night and the next day. I wore the same thing from Wednesday morning until Thursday night. But it was so worth it to be there for them!
So anyway, I missed my run Thursday, then Friday I just decided I needed to spend the time getting other things done at my house. I did get a few things done but not nearly what I had wanted.
Today Tom had 18 miles planned. I was planning anywhere from 1 to "less than Tom". We met the group and had some of them around for about 6 or 7 miles. I decided I was feeling good and would stick with Tom for his 18. Around 16 1/2 my knee started bothering me so I finished to 17 and then walked the rest of the way.
Very beautiful November morning!
