Home again

As many of you may have heard, we had a rather eventful past 24 hours. Yesterday, I didn't feel like myself and by 6:00, the nausea was all but overwhelming! Unfortunately, I spent the entire night and up until 5am or so dealing with a lovely gastrointestinal bug....feel free to just use your imagination :o/ I'll spare you the details.

Don called school to get a sub and to figure things out for the choral concert his kids are a part of tonight, and I called my doc shortly after. I was able to "sleep" on and off from about 6 to 9, so that was good, but we went to the doc at 11 anyway. After about 10 hours of completely emptying my system, I was VERY dehydrated! We spent almost 5 hours at the office today while I enjoyed a delightful IV of saline fluids to get me hydrated again. I suppose the only upside was that I chose to wear sweat pants and they have lay-z-boy-type chairs to sit in ;o)

Before I got on the IV, I was experiencing somewhat regular contractions about 7 minutes apart, so our midwife thought that we were in early labor! Turns out that the contractions were most likely a result of the dehydration, BUT, there's no telling now when this little baby will show up :o) Stay tuned....

Meanwhile, we're home to get rest and drink all the fluids I can handle. Hopefully, this is only a 24-hour bug and it will all be over soon! Oh, and for the record, I am sure that I have the most wonderful, caring, understanding husband a girl could ever ask for :o)
