A very, very expensive haircut!

Sunday, March 13th, hahahahahahahaha.

Steph's Version of the story:
Church starts at 10:00am
7am: Grant awakens, he is mucho hungry and needs his oatmeal 15 minutes ago... seriously where is the food? and oops, I slept in, nice, my phone alarm was on vibrate!!. Because intead of being 7, its 8, yup, we are "springing forward!" Baiby is still in pajamas with oatmeal still smashed on said pajamas.
8:30 wake up girls and get them downstairs to eat and then start on their hair and get church bags ready.
9:00 hop in the shower and start on my own hair...thank fully, hair is behaving, gotta love good hair days.... beginning to feel a little.... sickish. Which is completly normal by the way!
9:30 lay down for a sec, dont want to pass out like I do every sunday morning!!! check on Greg who is sick with a yucky fever and cough and sore throat in bed.. poor guy, i get to take care of him for a change!
9:45 yikes, 15 min till church starts..... baby, still has smashed oatmeal pajamas on and now has the addition of a poopy diaper, dang it. Still feeling a little sick...ish. I am good though, gotta get some pictures for sharing time for primary today, just real quick of course.I will just stand in the kitchen next to my dishwasher and the fridge and lots of kitchen cabinets and other hard objects because that is always a good idea when I am feeling... sick...ish. Maybe I should lay down.... hmm..
9:50 Yuck, I think... I will ....go and lay...................................................................................

dang it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tay and Halle's version:
8:45am: Our hair is so pretty! Mommy curled it! so cute! Lets go do hand stands in the family room and jump on the couches! Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you think mommy will notice if we turn on the t.v.?
9:30am: So i think i will bring my bouncing, singing bunny to church, and some stickers, and crayons, all the crayons we own in fact, and some pop tarts, and..... hmm.... its not fitting in my church bag.
9:50: "We were jumping on the couch and then we heard the loudest bang ever!!! We knew it was mommy because she is so big and loud when she faints!"
9:51: We run upstairs to go and get daddy and get mommy a trash can because she is throwing up. gross. She is bleeding and cracked her head open!!!!
9:56 Mommy is crying like a little girl, like this, "wah,wah, wah", then Daddy says that stinky Grant and us can watch veggie tales!!! yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Fun times huh!
Sorry for the very long background story! I totally fainted (which is normal) and threw up (normal again) but hit my head on something very hard (which is a given when you are standing right next to hard things but thankfully has never happened like this before), and actually cut my head open. I feel really bad for Greg who had to come down and find me with a little pool of blood and still passed out. Not fun. After assessing the damage he decided that we better head to the emergency room to be safe.
When I woke up this time i could tell that I had been out for a little longer than normal because Greg was already there... and there was a bloody pillow under my head and the throw up had been cleaned up already. Gory details. gross, so sorry!
We decided that we better head to church first and see if we could drop off the kids to primary, along with my sharing time lesson. (hahaha) On the way there, Tay said, "Mommy, I did not know that grown ups cried when they got hurt."

Did you know, that if you walk into the ER in your "sunday best" with a big pregnant belly and blood on your, "sunday best" and a bloody rag on your head... that you do not have to wait your turn and that you will get in to see the dr. super fast!!! :) good things to know!

After some needles in the head to numb the pain, they "sprayed" some of the blood out and then gave me a nice little trim around the cut, the hair there is about a 1/4 long... or so Greg tells me. I probably just recieved the most expensive hair cut I have ever had... I probably wont be going back to that hairstylist again!! (hopefully not anyway). Then the Dr. gave me 8 staples in my head, he said the cut was pretty deep and was about 2" long. wow.

I cannot end this post without first thanking my Heavenly Father for some tender mercies in all seriousness!!!

*It is amazing to me that this is my 4th pregnancy and that this is the first time I have ever had a major head trauma after ..... I dont know, hundreds of times that I have passed out!
*This happened on a sunday morning, when the girls were around and I wasn't alone with just Grant!
*Greg was home when this happened! He was supposed to be at his early morning church meetings, instead he was here!
*I felt so much peace and love from my Heavenly Father before we left for the hospital and knew that baby and I were going to be fine.
*I was feeling a lot of swelling and pressure on the left side of my head and then I recieved a blessing (a special prayer) from Greg before we left for the hospital... that pressure feeling went away. When we were at the hospital the Dr. said that if I was having any swelling problems that it would mean that I had internal bleeding but that since I didn't that I was ok! Definitly not just a coincidence!!!!!!


I am supposed to lay low for a couple of days and rest... so I will do my best at that. My hemaglobin was 10.9 and I guess its suppose to be more around 12 so i need to find a way to increase my iron. I will do my best at that too.

Long winded again. haha. Oh, and the dark hair, totally came in handy because i couldn't wash my hair for a couple of days and you couldn't even see the dried blood all over. hahaha. another blessing. :)
PS. Halle also said that, "this is the best most funnest sunday ever!! We got to watch movies all day!!!"
