Journal Entry 7

Dear Journal,        April 3rd

There has been so much happen Journal that I’m not sure where to begin. I guess I will start at the beginning. April 1st was a really interesting day. Fill with lots of pranks and funniness throughout the day. Rick and Chris would tease each other about random things. We got fooled by the newspaper people thinking they wouldn’t deliver the newspaper anymore but got a note saying April Fools. Which some people got really upset about. However we took it well and just laugh about it.

Of course I wasn’t really feeling well which is why this Journal about April Fools day was so late. I had been go to the restroom for most of the day. I don’t think you need to know why but seem as if I can’t hold anything in. I started to get worried about it at first. Since I normally never get sick much. Chris and Rick seem to get a little worried as well. Since they were pretty much hearing what was coming out. Chris pull me to the side and ask me to go see a doctor. I wasn’t sure if I really wanted to see a doctor but I being that I can’t hold anything in, I decided to go see the doctor.

Chris was going to take me but I told him that I could take care of it myself. I didn’t really want him to go to find out what the problem was. Maybe I was worried that me being “pregnant” again. I mean sure my head was telling me that it was crazy and that maybe I had some flue going on but my heart wasn’t so sure on it. I didn’t want to make things worse. Chris didn’t fight about it either. He told me to be careful and that he would see me soon. Rick was told me the same when I went out to the garden to tell him that I was going to see the doctor. He watch me go and then went back to work.

I drove all the way to see the doctors. I was really nervous as well. Since the last time I saw the doctor was dealing with my eyes and not getting help with them. This was a different problem but somehow I never really felt comfortable about seeing the doctor. I’m not sure why. It could be the fact that I went to them a lot when I was younger. I always never liked going to be “check” on. Finally I came to the parking lot and parked. I sent a text to Chris letting him know I made it and that I was going inside. He text me back before I got out of the car to tell me what I found out as soon as I could. I took a deep breath and went inside. There was the same lady who pointed me where my doctor was. I told her that I was seeing a doctor today. She nodded and told me that the doctor wanted to see me. I follow in the room before we began our little talk.

“Hello Ruby. How are you doing today? Did you come to ask about your eyes again?”

“No. It’s not about my eyes but something else.”

“I see what may be the problem then.”

I told him that I been well throwing up and not able to hold anything in. He told me that he was going to take a few test and then see what the problem is. I was really nervous. First they poked me with a needle to see how my blood is doing. Then they asked me to well go into the bathroom for the next test to work. I did what they told me and handed what he needed back. I then waited in his room for a long time and wondering what was taking so long. Finally the doctor came in the room and an interesting look on his face. There was a few whispers that I couldn’t make out as the doctor was slowly coming in. All I could hear was “I see or Interesting” and then he came in before I could ask what he was talking about.

He sat on his desk chair and then said, “Well I have some interesting news to tell you. It seem that you are indeed pregnant.”

I thought he would say April Fools your not pregnant. Your just sick with a flue but we were quiet for a long time. Finally I broke the silence and asked if I was really “pregnant.” He nodded his head yes and I was feeling a little scared about it. He went on to tell me that he could understand the worry I have but to just take better care of myself. I was not sure what else to say but then again I was a little hopefully this time around it will make it. I look down at my stomach not yet showing a bump and gave it a soft little rub. I then thanked the doctors and headed home.

I decide that I won’t tell Chris anything until I got inside the house. Once I made it home, Chris greeted me with a warm kiss and hug. Rick just stood back looking pretty nervous to find out what was going on with me. Finally we all went into the living room and decided to make a April Fools joke about it at first. I told them that I wasn’t pregnant that I was sick with the flue. Chris face was looking very sad but then I quickly said, “April Fools, I am pregnant!”

Both of them gave me a funny look but then jump up and down. They were both excited for me and hugged me tightly. Then I started feeling a lot better and getting more. Did as much as I could as the doctor had told me to do. I even read more about vampires and found out that their flue was called a Vampire Flue. I wrote an email to the guy and he told me, he heard of it once. I told him about other things and he even congrats to us both. I was still pretty nervous but the feeling of being pregnant again was really nice. Rick and Chris were there all the step of the way for me.

The time of the baby to be born was getting closer and I started to having a hard time walking. I was mainly bed ridden for a while. Chris would give me some meals in bed and Rick would tell me how the garden would look. Since I could no longer be able to see it. When the time came, the water broke and Chris took me to the Hospital. Rick stay home to take care of the garden and to make sure the house was safe. It was nice of him. Chris was in the waiting for while I was to give birth. I was in labor for a good 6 hours before the baby was born. We had a little girl and we named her Ruby. The doctors notice that her eyes were going grey and I worried that she won’t make it through the night but somehow she did. The doctors let me hold her since she was doing much better. Chris and I stay the night at the hospital. The doctor was checking on Ruby while I did my best to get some sleep. Chris stay up but grew tired and went to bed. We were both nervous but in the early morning, he told us that she was fine to go home now.  Chris took Ruby and I in the car, then we headed home. Once we were at home, Rick came to greet the baby and was very excited for us. I went upstairs to rest. While Rick and Chris took sometime with the baby. Ruby was a pretty little girl. She had my looks and smile but a little of Chris in her as well.

Chris then came in with me and smile softly. He played with my hair for a little while and then rest by myself. Rick came in and out while Ruby was up to take care of us. Giving us a little break to take care of ourselves. That night we had a lovely meal and enjoy each other company. I have a feeling that Ruby will do just fine. However the doctor would like to see her the next day to see how she is doing. We then went to bed wondering what tomorrow would bring and how special our little Ruby really is. I love you, Ruby, my little one. Goodnight and sleep well I told her. She just gave me a sweet smile before falling asleep. Then Chris and I went to bed.
