Weekend Away

We spent Friday night at the hospital, Corey cut through a live 600V wire at work that afternoon and we had to have his heart monitored incase it changed the rythym. It was boring and interesting all at the same time. There was this one patient who wanted pain meds and was NOT taking no for an answer. I even heard the doctor comment to him "so you've been through here a lot have you". Before seeing the doctor he was loud and obnxious. Addict? Ya think?

Another girl was in the waiting room puking and making this HORRIBLE noise. We could hear her from the back room we were in and I had to "go take a walk" to see what was happening. I'm such a drama queen. All the people in the waiting room were like begging the nurses to get her inside because she was freaking them all out. When Corey and I left she was still there and both of us thought she looked like she was coming down off a high or something.

Ah Etobicoke General. This was the hospital both Corey and I were born at and where our daughter will be born.

Saturday we headed out for a visit with my Uncle on my Dad's side. I only met this side of my family a few years ago. They're so nice...and Normal! We had a really great visit mostly talking. We went to visit my Aunt at the store she volunteers at, a quilting store and I picked up a "How to Knit" book. She also had me pick out some fabric for a baby quilt!!! The one I picked out is adorable and I can't wait to see it finished. We spent the evening playing a dominoes game called "Mexican Train" and had a blast. The next morning we talked and talked and talked, ate and then talked some more. They're an awesome couple and have raised three pretty cool sons. We left mid afternoon with promises to visit again soon.

For My Darling Baby Girl: Your Great-Aunt Jackie is making you a quilt! It'll be interesting to see if by the time you read this you can still say you remember or have it.
