The Answer, which I apparently already posted on twitter and face oil a few days ago (doh!) is….
Not nearly as interesting as some guesses I heard. No, I didn’t receive a call from my doctor, as I sat there with my arm in the cuff, telling me I was pregnant with triplets. In fact, I’ll just take this time to announce I am NOT pregnant. (To my knowledge. We all know how that goes.).
The Answer isn’t even that I was sitting there immobilized by the machine while I watched Levi escape out the front door or fall from the cart.
The Answer is…
In the first picture I was holding a screaming Levi.
In the second picture, Josh had taken him away.
Levi was very upset that I wasn’t moving or talking and I think he was concerned about the strange black ballon that was tightening over my upper arm, because he was viciously attacking it. Or perhaps he was just jealous. But I guess it turns out that a crying, screaming, antsy, violent baby has a huge affect on my blood pressure.
I was even doing deep breathing exercises to try to calm myself down because at the time I didn’t know I was going to get a second chance.
Yeah, those didn’t work.
So there you have it.
Well, most concerning to me is your lack of a pulse in that first pic. 😉 Hmmm… for me, I can feel my blood pressure rise when my baby cries. It is a very intense, physical response for me. Glad to see it came right back down!
If these are the same pictures you posted on twitter a couple of days ago, then I think I know the answer. 🙂 I just don’t know if I should post my guess or not.
Did one of your kiddos try and escape the cart or store?
I know the answer! you already posted these pictures on facebook. I can cheat.
Well shoot. I can’t even keep track of what pictures I have already shared with teh interwebz. Sigh.
We all have days like that, Beth … don’t worry. 🙂
I can barely remember if I ate anything today … and here it is, almost dinnertime lol
