Bad Week!

In the middle of the night on Saturday I woke up with the stomach flu! By the morning I was feeling terrible and could not even keep a sip of water down. So we called my doctor and Daniel took me to the hospital. When we got there they hooked me up to the monitors and gave me an IV. I am glad we went because I started having a lot of contractions since I was so dehydrated. So they gave me a shot of terbutaline to stop them. It made me really shakey, but it did its job. Daniel was scared she was going to try to make her appearance that day! We were there for a few hours until they got me rehydrated, and then I got to go home. Well by Monday night I was feeling horrible and getting really bad stomach pains. I couldnt tell if they were contractions or pains from being sick, and I was running a fever, and still getting sick so it was back to the hospital. My fever was making the baby's heartbeat really high (I was roasting her in there!) so they gave me a lot of fluids and some tylenol to lower my fever. Luckily it went away, but then I started having more contractions and my stomach was killing me! So they decided to keep me overnight to watch me and make sure I didnt have appendicitis or chorio (an infection of the placenta). It turns out that I have something called the Rota virus, which is like a bad stomach flu that lasts for 5-7 days! YUCK! I got to go home Tuesday night, and Mariah is doing good though it all. I am starting to feel better, and am hoping in a few days I will feel all better. Thanks to everyone who kept us in their thoughts and prayers, I know they helped us!
