Labor signs? Well a couple of weeks ago I was probably the most lucky person ever and I got the stomach flu!! Oh wait... I was being sarcastic. It was a Thursday night I had just put the kids to bed and all of the sudden I felt very, very sick - I thought I had just ate too much too late. But then about ever 45 minutes to an hour I would have these bouts of nausea and would have to run to the bathroom. After I had puked so much I swore I didn't have anything left I thought ok it's out of my system I'm good.... nope I was wrong it went from 9 PM on Thursday night until 9 PM Friday night. I was having consistent contractions... and I was in a ton of pain. Finally about 3 on Friday afternoon (Addi's last day of school) I called Jake (at work) and said you need to come home and take me to the hospital I can't take this anymore. So my mom came and got the girls and we headed to the hospital. I was severely dehydrated at this point and my contractions were a little too consistent for anyone's liking. I also had a fever and they were moving me back and forth between the ER and Labor & Deliver because they thought I could have a possible appendicitis. It was a long 5 hours in the hospital let me tell you! After they got me hydrated - and gave me a lot of different medicine to stop the contractions, make me stop puking and go to sleep we headed home. I slept good that night and woke up the next day feeling 1,000 times better and I got a text from my dad... my poor mom had caught it at that point we knew it wasn't appendicitis but definitely the stomach flu! It was definitely an interesting couple of days - so I'm no longer in labor just back to my Braxton Hicks & infrequent contractions!
Belly button in/out? In
What I miss: Sleep... Eating without being sick..... Balance!
What I am looking forward to: 6 More weeks and this beautiful baby will be here!
Milestones: Got the 30 week ultrasound baby looks really good she weighed 3 pounds already and has at least gained 2 more since then :) It's definitely getting close and I need to start preparing for her arrival because who knows when she'll actually come with my history!
