2 bags of fluid later...

Well, I'm in my 31st week. I thought I would feel different (a good different) once I hit my 30th week..ya know, only to know I had 10 weeks left. I was anticipating it kinda like Christmas. Well, after a week and now being at 31 weeks along, I feel like i'm still waiting for Christmas...still waiting for the weeks to get closer to 40 weeks. Only 9 weeks left..max! Yes that does feel pretty good, but still, not close enough. Although, we need the 9 weeks to prepare cuz lets be honest...the nursery...still not done. Remember how I said I would have it painted by this past weekend...well, there were some complications. So hopefully soon i'll get around to it.

On Wednesday I had a doctor appointment. Our little guy looked so cute in the ultrasound and we saw that his little head was down! yay..such good news for me!! Everything else looked great! Still on schedule for the 15th of September.

Well, on Thursday I started spotting and it lasted til Saturday. I really didn't think too much about it. I told my mom on Saturday and she said it was important to talk to my doctor first thing on Monday. That kinda got me concerned but our Mister was still moving like crazy and everything seemed normal.

Later on Saturday, I sat down for my lunch and suddenly, started throwing up.  I didn't even make it to the bathroom. I threw up a few more times and slept for the rest of the afternoon.  We were then invited to go to my sister in laws cabin and have a campfire and go canoeing at the payson lake. I was feeling a bit better so we left to go up. Blah. Big mistake. I felt sick the whole way up there.  I was so grateful to get out of the car. We enjoyed our evening and headed back home. We dropped off Tom and Sydney and when we got a  block away from there house. I started gagging. We hit a stop light and I told James I was going to throw up..and I did just that...right in the blanket I was wrapped in.  He quickly pulled into a parking lot and continued to loose everything in my stomach.  The poor side of my car :(  We finally got home and luckily I was able to sleep but Sunday morning I was sick again.  It was like everytime I wanted to eat something because I was hungry I would get sick and everytime I drank something, I would throw it up. I was physically weak, tired, hungry and oh so sick.
Well, today I called my doctor and told him about the light spotting I had over the weekend, and he asked if I would go in and see him.  When I got there they weighed me...down 4 pounds.  Then, he came in my room and started asking me all these questions.  He seemed so concerned (i still kinda felt silly going in a being checked because I really didn't think anything of it). he then did an ultrasound and saw that the Placenta was still fully attached and the baby was happy and healthy.  It was so cute. We could the Mister's mouth..and he was frowning (craven syndrome) and then he took the biggest yawn. It was seriously so cute. Even dr. h laughed and smiled. 

During the ultrasound, Dr. H noticed the Mister is breached.  Great. Just 3 days ago he was head down. I asked him how long we have until he stays in the position he'll be at when he's born.  He said at about 32 weeks or so.  So I have one week to get this baby turned so that delivery will be heavenly.

After the ultra sound we went back into my room and he took some bacteria test to make sure that I didn't have a bacteria forming.  He then checked my cervix and everything looked good. P.s. that isn't as bad as a lot of women have made it out to be.  I  then told him how I had been sick and I didn't know if that had anything to do with everything going on. He looked at my cart and noticed the 4 pound weight loss and my urine sample.  He told me he'd like to start on IV and give me some fluids. He also put some Zofran in the IV which would help with the nausea.  After half of the first bag, he came in and asked if I had to go to the bathroom yet. I told him no. He was shocked that I didn't have to go. He kept saying how 'dry' I was.  He then gave me another bag of fluids and some more Zofran. He walked back in and said how I was getting color back in my skin and how much better I was doing. 

Before I left the office, dr. h told me how happy he was I had come in. I am too. I am feeling so much better...besides being tired and dizzy from the medicine...but so grateful I went in!! I have an appetite again and can actually eat and drink! Hopefully this lasts...I hate feeling like i'm in my first trimester again...blah!

  1. I'm so sorry you've been sick... or am I??? Wasn't it you who was kind of devilishly grinning when I was puking my guts out about a month or so ago?... Yes, it was! You evil thing! I actually DO feel bad for you, but I'm glad it's mostly passed and that things are looking up. Love ya, even if you're the devil! See you at lunch on Thurs!
