I am beyond a hot mess.  I am 18 weeks pregnant.  Yesterday I was working from home as my 2yr old son was home sick from school. While he was napping I was trying to quickly get things ready for dinner so that I could spend some time with him when he woke up to make up for having to multitask all day. I was slicing potatoes on a mandolin slicer and because I was carelessly rushing I sliced a big chunk of my pinky off. I quickly grabbed my hand and was able to call my husband and 911 while still holding tight and when they got there they said it wasn't bad at all even though when I stopped holding it the blood was pouring. They wrapped it up without cleaning it and didn't tell me what to do at all. Later that night. I got worried about it not being clean and about the gauze sticking song unwrapped it and the blood was literally squirting out of my finger. It was my sons bed time so I had no other choice but to leave my husband with him and drive myself to an urgent care. While I was there I think every single emotion from this pregnancy and being so mad at myself for being so careless came out. I was such a wreck. I live in south Florida just miles from the Zika outbreak and had so much worry in me that it all just came out. The nurses and Doctor there were so wonderful even though I was so erratic and in pain and properly cleaned it out and rewrapped it and gave me a TDAP vaccine which is recommended anyway. I've been worried about what being in that kind of pain is doing to my baby but haven't had any cramping or bleeding or anything. I am still in pain and have to go back today to have it redressed so I'm very worried about going through that pain again but am thankful as it could have been worse.  I don't know why I can handle labor pain so much better than this!! Not sure why I'm rambling so much but I think it made me realize how much I have been just plowing through this pregnancy and need to take a step back and slow down.  I think this was definitely a message with a lesson from up above and doing my best to learn from it.
