I've decided that I don't like it when my husband "goes missing", especially when I'm just about 6 months pregnant. See, every morning he texts or calls me to say that he's at work- which is around 7 o'clock. Well... when I hadn't heard from him by about 7:20 today I texted him to ask if he was there. Didn't hear back for a few minutes... so I called and his voicemail picked up right away. So I left a message. Then my poor little pregnant freak out hormones kicked in and the thought of previously heard sirens (and several of them) popped into my head. So around 7:40 when I hadn't heard from him, his phone was off, he wasn't answering my texts and hadn't called me from work or his work cell phone... NOTHING, I started to well, FREAK OUT. I knew there had to be something wrong because we're VERY communicative (willingly) with each other about where we are and what we're doing, etc. So I knew it wasn't him just "forgetting" to call me. So yeah... I didn't know what to do because I didn't have his work cell phone number. So I called his mom to see if she had it, her voicemail picked up right away. I called her work phone... rang and rang and then her voicemail there, me leaving a sobby message saying I'm worried about him. So at like 7:50 when I'm having to leave the house, I called his work and of course- they don't open until 8!!! AHHHH! Okay, so I'm crying at this point- have been for like 15 minutes. The dog is worried, my head is starting to hurt, I'm starting to breath crazy and get shaky... (I'm sort of embarrassed now to admit this) and I STILL can't get a hold of my RYAN! I of course had been praying my little head off that my man was okay and to please just let him call me! So I'm driving to work but thinking "okay, maybe I'll make a detour and go to his office and see if his truck is parked there and just tell work I got caught up in traffic... even though it's the holidays and NO ONE is driving out here...". I was a mess. I decided to call back in to his office and got his supervisor and got the cell phone number for Ryan and made sure he made it in and everything. Call the cell and he answered!!!!!!! Relief swept over me... and then the tears turned on again! He was okay! Everything was fine! He was safe!
He said he'd been trying to call me for an hour and 15 minutes and that my voicemail kept picking up right away. He'd gotten my voicemails I left him but never me on the phone... and while we were on the phone with each other finally, both of the text messages I sent came in... turns out there was something wrong with DUMB DUMB AT&T. Both of his parents phones weren't working either, and to my knowledge his mom's phone is still acting up even now 4 hours later!
Anyway- I came to realize even stronger than ever (like I didn't know before) that I love this man more than anything in the world and that I simply cannot live with out him! I told him he was NEVER allowed to leave me or get hurt. He just simply responded with "yes ma'am".
I mean, holy hormones Batman! I'd look at this stuffed frog he bought for me for Valentine's Day that the dog loves to sleep on and started to cry, I saw a picture of him on our table in the family room and started to cry... like I had already "lost" him or something. I started thinking of our trip we leave for tomorrow and how I wouldn't be going if he wasn't alright... it was HORRIBLE! I mean, all the worst thoughts that I could think of came to my head! The water works just wouldn't stop! And now... now I have a ROYAL headache, dry burning and glassy eyes and I'm all tuckered out.
Ryan thinks I should call AT&T and make them credit our bill for the month for making his poor pregnant wife so stressed out. He was almost to the point of freaking out too... so that made me feel a little better. Anyway... I'm okay, he's okay and I'm just not a big fan or the hormonal crap going on in my body right now. Happy Thanksgiving if I don't post before then. Oh and if you want some entertainment go to this article my sister sent me.

"Holy hormones, Batman?" That's just . . . great. I loved it. :)
you are to funny. I remember those hormonal days oh do I remember. I cant believe you are 6 months already. Time sure flies even thought Im sure it doesnt feel that way to you.
I have to admit. Even when I'm not hormonal I remember there have been times I should have heard from Jeremy and didn't and started to dread. I think it's normal.
Glad everything turned out ok!
