Are you kidding me?...

So let me tell you how the past week went for us...Tuesday night they sent us into labor and delivery again! They monitored for 5 hours and then sent me home. I told Michael had it been Kailye and I had been in labor we would have had a baby by then. I new as soon as they sent us over there they were just going to send us home. Anyway, we got through most of the week until we got to Friday. I was very sick all day on Friday...really I just felt awful! So I was down the whole day. Well Friday night I got up to use the rest room and awoke on the floor. Yeah I blacked out completely. I know it's not from getting up too quickly, because lets face it I can't do anything quickly at this point. So I thought I was okay except my toes on my foot hurt really bad and I didn't remember if I fell on my stomach or not...so to the emergency room we went...at least this one I can claim on Aflac:) They pumped me full of fluids...I apparently did not look so great...and gave me some IV pain meds so I could get some rest. Well the meds kicked in immediately but I still had to wait for the IV fluids to finish. Well by the time I got home so I could "rest" I was so restless that I could not rest AT ALL. It made for a very long night. Thankfully mom and dad took KK for us so she wouldn't have to be dragged around.

So after a restless night I didn't feel so great the next day. Which really sucked because it was Kailye's birthday. She had a great time with Grandma in the morning and then spent the day with Michael. I did get it together enough to go to dinner with them all that night and we also ran to Target. AND then it hit again...up went the blood pressure again. Leeana took kk this time and we headed over to the hospital again. I knew they were just going to send us home but what do you do?...I was grateful to see a friendly face there though, a friend of mine from elementary through high school was our nurse which made things a little more pleasant. This time I actually had to do the urine thingy...not so great. But I have an appointment in 45 minutes and we'll see how things go. Well back to work for a minute before I have to go again. Bye.

Hospital again.

I had to head over to the hospital again Friday night. I went home from work at 2:30 because I was feeling just awful. So I layed down for a while then checked my blood pressure. Now I never have high blood pressure, in fact it's always really low, so I had no idea what high was. So I called the nurse and told her my blood pressure was 147/94. Well apparently that is too high so she said I needed to come in right away. Okay, so I called Michael and he met me there. After waiting for an hour...two doctors were doing an emergency C-section...one finally came in and sent me straight to the hospital...ARG! I understand if the baby is in distress or something why I would need to go, but really I was just there Monday! I was a little annoyed...I'm not made of money people. We went anyway and they hooked me up to all the monitors and ran some blood work...lab fee's now too, fun. After 2.5 hours of monitoring they saw that beyond a few small contractions there was nothing to be alarmed about. Blood pressure back to normal, baby just fine, heart rate fine, etc. And then the nurse gave me this big bottle and told me I needed to do a 24 hr. urine collection...I know TMI. I said fine, being pretty annoyed by this point that I had spent 2.5 hours at the hospital when there was no reason for it. Well after we got out to the car I told Michael he could throw that urine thing away. He looked at me weird and said why?...well they had just checked my urine at the doctor's office and it was fine, I just spent 2+ hrs. at the hospital and it was fine, I was not about to carry around a jug full of urine that had to be on ice for the next 24 hrs. when I had Kailye's birthday party to take care of the next day. Besides that it was a Friday night into Saturday, super convenient don't you think? Yeah no! Plus on top of that I did not want another lab fee. I have a doctor's appointment on Tuesday I guess we'll see how he feels about my decision to say Hell No! I'm sure I'll get an ear full but really I didn't feel like there was any reason for it when there were absolutely no signs of distress or infection. At this point I'm ready to tell him he can carry the pee-jug around. After being told that if x,y, and z happen I need to come into the office. Then I get to the office and the doctor acts like x, y, and z are no big deal and sends me home. You're kidding me right...I left work to drive 15 miles away(in my gas guzzling bus), so you could tell me nothings wrong, it's normal, go home?...fun.

Well my blood pressure has been fine since Friday and I am still having just small contractions here and there. I don't think we will have this baby until mid June but I'm really okay with anytime now.

Belly pictures...

Here you go....this is me at 33 weeks pregnant! I posted a side by side with the picture I have of me preggo with Kailye at my other blog.
This picture is a little deceiving because it makes it look so much smaller than it actually is....oh well.

Doctor

We had a doctor's appointment yesterday. He says all the swelling is just fine unless my blood pressure goes up...not likely, it's always really low. The crappy news was that my hands falling asleep is likely due to pregnancy induced carpel tunnel. He said it will likely get much worse before I'm done...woohoo! Oh well. He also let us know that if at any point in the rest of my pregnancy we go into labor they won't stop it. That sounds just fine to me...although I'd really prefer to get past 36 weeks.

I will be going out on Maternity leave starting the first week of June. Wow, that's weird...that's only 4 weeks away. I'm not sure what I will do with myself though. I have become so used to working that on weeks when I am home for a few days in a row I run out of things to get done. I'm sure I'll have plenty once Keija's here but in the mean time I think it's going to be an adjustment for me. Kailye usually loves the first day or two and then gets very anxious to go play with someone other than mom. She loves being with all her family and friends.

I am glad we are almost done and at the same time feel no where near ready for another little one at our house. I guess we'll see how it goes.

What the?

Okay so I just realized yesterday that I am over 7 months preggo! Holy moly! I think it hit me ultra hard this morning because I didn't sleep at all last night. Mostly because I was so uncomfortable but also because it was very hot! For the most part I feel pretty good but really the only thing I have to compare this pregnancy to is the one with Kailye which was horrific. So this is like floating on clouds in comparison.

I have belly pictures but I keep forgetting to take my camera with me to mom and dad's to post them...next time?
