So...

Tuesday, I started feeling bladder infection type symptoms, which was weird because I had just finished a round of antibiotics for a UTI that was discovered at my last dr. visit...and I didn't have any symptoms for it. That's twice. Anyway, I send P to get some Azo and I start taking them on Tuesday. I felt better but on Wednesday, I was really feeling bad and my back was starting to hurt, so I made an appt to see my dr the next am. P went to church and I stayed home, and could NOT get comfortable at all on the couch, so I turned everything off and went and laid in the bed. I crawled around the bed in pain until I could not take it anymore. I called my dr and told her I couldn't take it and I wanted to go to the hospital. Which is something I don't really do. I called P and told him to come home and take me, and he knew I must be jacked up because I would not call him to take me, I would just go, but furthermore, I wouldn't go.

I get there and I wanted to cry, it hurt so bad. They send me upstairs to labor and delivery from the ER and the drama began. By the time the nurse was taking blood from my hand and BLEW IT (her words, not mine) I was hurting SO BAD. Then, my hand was killing me from her trying to put an IV in it. She took 3 tubes of blood from there. Then after she blew the vein, she put the iv in my arm and I just wanted to die. My back was killing me and now my hand AND my arm, it was horrible. At that point, I did cry some. Then they kept asking me if I was having contractions. I said no. The monitor said I was, though. Then they check me and tell me i'm 2 cm dilated. Long story short, they tell me I have a kidney infection and i'm going to be there till FRIDAY.

Then they doped me up. I put P out at midnight and slept. And slept. And slept. All the next day. All night. I was so gone off of whatever they gave me, I told him I didn't want to feel like that ever again. The painkiller was making me throw up. I threw up everything I ate while I was there. Then when my dr came on Thursday, as soon as she walked in the room, I hurled again. She said "you may have to stay till Sunday". I was not having that! I hurried up and put on my big girl face. I told the nurse not to give me anymore of whatever it was she gave me before. I don't like being in the hospital!! I got a bunch of instructions and pills, and I convinced them I was ready to go home. Actually, I was just tired of being there, plus I felt better. My dr's sister came (she's a dr too, and they have a WONDERFUL practice, Physicians for Women. Google them.) and she decided I was well enough to go home. MAN!!!!!!

So let me tell you what really happened, so you don't do this!!

I, in my infinite wisdom, decided that I had a yeast infection. I tried to do a 1 day Monistat. BAD MOVE. I messed up putting it in and had the cream everywhere. Well, looks like some cream got in the wrong spot and traveled up. (IT WAS EVERYWHERE.) On top of that, I had a CRAZY allergic reaction to it and my girl (yes, her) swole up something horrible. I remembered Tiff saying one of our friends had that same reaction so I googled it and figured out to take Benadryl, which fixed it. 2 days later? Kidney infection. Traveling bacteria. Be careful with the 1 day stuff! I think it was waaay too strong for me, and apparently lots of other people too. Also, it probably would have helped if I had done it right.

Things were cool up until this point. BE CAREFUL!
Shout out to Nurse Abernathy at Beaumont! She knows how to hook up an IV!!!

It's Been A Long Time...I Shouldn'ta Left You...

Yeah, yeah, I know it has been a while. I've had so much going on. I am 31 weeks now. Funny how time flies when you're having fun. Right now I am watchin this story about China's Elephant Man. This is so sad!!! Neurofibromatosis. WTF that has got to be from the pit of hell. Anyway what's been going on? Well...

-The vomiting came back
- I still look good : )
-We moved into a big a house
-I'm finally getting used to the idea of a baby
-I have bad allergies
-I am still wearing heels
-Sometimes it feels like my legs are going to detach from my body
-Moving while pregnant was horrible.

I had my glucose test last week. I had to drink this thing that was like an orange pop. The test is supposed to determine if you have gestational diabetes, which I'm pretty sure I don't have. Everything else has been good. There's really not been anything exciting, except for the fall I took last Sunday. I fell up the steps in the new house. I slid into the fridge on my knee and elbow. I must have gotten up too fast because about 10 minutes later, I was still trying to cook my chicken and I kind of fell out and hit my head on the dishwasher. I tried to play it off like I was ok but I was scared to death. I've never seen P so worried. But, I'm ok. If anything it felt like it knocked some sense into me.

I have not gained a lot of weight - I'm still not at my "fat" weight. I'm around 185. It's all boobs and baby. Right now I don't feel as wide as I have before...my pants son't like to stay up but I would look crazy wearing a belt with them. I can't wait to get back into my clothes.

How are they going to fix this man?

I'm watching the baby move around in my stomach. I don't really have a any fat, it's ALL baby.

So, I guess I haven't blogged because there isn't really anything exciting happening! And no news is good news. I'm still ridiculously worried about things I can't do anything about. I worry about this baby all the time and hope I am not doing/eating/drinking/taking/saying anything that would damage him or her. I PRAY for a healthy, happy, non crying baby and a SPEEDY delivery. I notice I'm more emotional lately. I still hope the baby comes on 7/20, my grandma's b-day. I think that's going to be the baby's b-day too.

The shower is going to be on July 12. That should be fun. We're doing the Zen theme. I think we are going to have a good time. I am going to try to stop worrying. People have babies every day. These young girls make it look so easy but sadly I think most of them are jacked up anyway. I don't want to be an average mother. I want to be a good one.

I'm on bi-weekly doctor's appointments now. I'll post after the next one!
