Sick!!!

***Sorry for the mess!!! I'm trying to get this blog in order and cute again but I'm so indecisive and don't have the patience at the moment to keep messing with it.***


I've been sick with a horrific stomach bug I got from my darling daughter. I kept waking up the night before last feeling extremely nauseous but never threw up. Then yesterday morning as soon as I got Gavin off to school, I came home to lay down and relax and it hit me out of nowhere. I ran to the bathroom and threw up what felt like all my insides. You'd think I'd feel better after that but no.. the sick feeling lasted all day. I literally laid around the entire day while Kenna watched Dora and played with her baby dolls.


When Joe got home from work around 4:30 I was feeling a little bit better but still had a bad headache and was very lethargic. I noticed I was getting up to pee many many times but once I would get to the bathroom, I didn't even need to pee. I started thinking maybe it was a UTI and called my Dr to get a prescription called in. Then I was laying on the couch and realized I was having contractions. They were very uncomfortable but not painful. They lasted about 2.5 hours and I tried timing them but they were very irregular. I took a warm bath, put a heating pad on my back, drank lots of fluids and finally went to sleep.


I woke up this morning feeling 100% better. No nausea, headaches, or feeling like I have to pee every 5 seconds. Turns out I don't have a UTI, it was just the contractions that were making me feel like I had to pee. With all the BH contractions I've been having with this pregnancy, I'm pretty convinced I'm not going to make it until June. Maybe we'll have a May baby this time.


Also! We've decided on babygirl's full name...

After her daddy, of course :)

Jinxed Myself

I guess I jinxed myself with that last post about how lucky I am this time around not having any morning sickness. Monday wasn't a great day for me, I woke up feeling nauseous. Ate some crackers and ginger ale, hoping it would pass. It never did. I struggled to make it with Kenna until Joe got home from working around noon that day. As soon as he came in, it was nap time for Kenna, so I put her down and laid down myself. I woke up a few hours later and threw up. The first time I have thrown up during this pregnancy. I felt a little better and was hopeful I would still be able to take the kids trick or treating that night. Joe picked Gav up from school and brought him home, we had some sandwiches then put on the kids costumes and headed out for trick or treating. I felt pretty normal during all of this. Our trick or treating lasted a good 2 hours, and when we got home I immediately started feeling ill again. After the kids were in bed, I went to bed too (at about 8:30pm). I woke up at midnight when Joe came to bed, feeling even more nauseous and running a super high fever. I stumbled my way into the bathroom and threw up. Feeling extremely dehydrated, I drank a bunch of water and went back to bed. From that point on, I was up every hour and half, throwing up and drinking more water, praying for 7am to roll around so I could go to the hospital and get some relief. The sun finally came up, we got Gav to school, Joe called into work, and we went to the ER. I literally felt like I had the flu. I was so nauseous and exhausted and my whole body was aching. They gave me an IV which immediately made me feel more alive, some pain medicine for my headache, some nausea meds, and some antibiotics. Turns out I had a UTI and some kind of virus.

Yesterday was a little better, but today I feel 100x better! Thank God :)
