What a week

This was my first week with no work. I was actually supposed to go back in on Tuesday to help out a bit moe but I woke up...throwing up! Yes. Isn't that just fantastic? I guess I got a stomach flu or something. Well NOTHING would stay down. So I called my OB and they had me come in. By 3:30pm I was in the hospital triage. Within about an hour they told me that I was being admitted. So it was going to be a LONG NIGHT!

Kyson and I both had had a high BP at my appointment and when we go to the hospital it was normal. They had a hard time putting in my IV because I was clearly VERY dehydrated. You couldn't see any of my veins and well typically they stick out like a sore thumb. I knew Kyson was ok because he had been active all day. Even though all I have was a piece of toast that didn't stay down. They gave me some medication for my nausa and then the ultrasound tech came in. She was probably there for 2 hours. Kyson wouldn't move around for her. He had scored 8/8 on his BBMI (i believe that is what it is called) on thursday but he was scoring dangerously low that night. Se kept telling me that she thought he was just sleeping since his heartrate was perfect. Well my OB wasn't on call that night soI talked to another one. She made my heart stop. After the tech left she came in and told me that if in a couple hours when the tech comes back and he doesn't start moving.....we are going to have to DELIVER! I was freaked! I was think we don't have a car seat yet...the room is a mess...none of his clothes are washed! I held in my tears as long as I could. I know that if he were to have come her would have bee fine but I was not ready to hear that. The next coupl of hours I was stressing that tonight was the night...and the tech came back in and he scored much higher. They wouldn't tell me the numbers though. I know I had woken him up by eating. So they said that they were going to do another ultra sound in the morning.

Poor Kurtis was so uncomfortable in that hospital. He stayed on a pullout couch. I was miserable as well. The room was so hot to me I kept asking them to turn it down. By morning Kurtis said he thought it was 17 degrees in there! lol. Poor thing. They kept coming in every couple of hours of course and giving me more meds or I would move and the baby monitor would move so a beeping would go off since they couldn't read the babies heartbeat anymore. It was definately a very comforting feeling to be able to listen to his heartbeat all night knowing that he was ok.

One thing was very funny to me. I am expecting to have HORRIBLE back labor..or hard contractions because I have horrible periods. My nurse came in one time and was like are you in any pain? I said no. She said you are having pretty steady contractions! I couldn't believe it. I am kinda sad they never checked my cerivx. I don't know what I am at. If I am having contractions I should have some progress right? Wether is be small or not...progress is PROGRESS! lol

So Wednesday morning they sent me home. Kyson finally scored an 8/8. They also told me to keep my OB appintment for the next day. Dr. Guzman couldn't believe what had happened. He walked in and gave me a hug and told me that my fluids still are going down. Only .5 but down. He says if it gets close to 5..which it was 6.5 on thursday...then he is going to induced me even if Kyson's lungs aren't fully developed. So now I am not going once a week...I am going twice a week which means I have another appointment on Tuesday. I don't know how that is going to go but I will definately keep you all posted.

Sounds so scary and crazy. The plus side is getting that baby sooner than you though! I can't wait until we have a little one!
