Have ya ever had one of those weekends where you need another weekend just to recover from your weekend? That was ours. My saga began Thursday at 3AM. I woke up feeling like I had the flu. I didn't sleep the rest of the night. I went ahead and tried to get ready for my workshop Friday, but by 7:30, I decided I just wasn't feeling well enough to go. Kevin took Preston to my mom on his way to work since I wasn't feeling well. I couldn't make it off the couch all day. By 3PM, I was convinced that I was sick and/or in pre-term labor. I called my mom to take me to the ER while Kevin met me there. They determined that I was dehydrated and I was indeed having contractions and was dilated 2 centimeters. They gave me fluid and drugs which knocked me out to let me rest and to stop the contractions. I had orders to drink 8-10 glasses of water a day. They assured me that the next day I should be as good as new.
And back to the ER.... Saturday morning, I was not as good as new! I felt worse. By noon, the contractions were back and worse and I felt even more sick. Scared that this little guy is going to arrive too soon, I decided to go back to the ER. My temperature was up which was affecting Blaise's heartrate. Fortunately, I had not dilated any more from the night before despite the contractions. They tested for the flu and bacterial infections, both of which were negative. They decided that I had a virus and gave me more fluids to move it through my system. And off we went again.
Today, I am finally starting to feel better. I woke up hungry for the first time in 2 days, but still haven't had much of an appetite. I'm still battling a low fever and chills, but no contractions!
My csection had been scheduled for August 11th. After this weekend, I feel like it's a joke! I'm suppose to have the csection the week before that, but my Dr. will be on vacation. Perfect timing! I somehow don't think Blaise will stay in there quite that long. I'm hoping to get him to stay indoors for 3 more weeks. He's been giving me hell today for everything I've put him through this weekend! I just want to bring my baby home with me this time around, so hopefully for his mom's sake, he'll stay put.

it's good to hear that you are starting to feel better. i'll definitely be keeping you guys in my prayers for a healthy, full-term baby boy. dr. grady must go on vacation every year on that week because he was on vacation at that time last year when i was freaked out that i was going to go early with darbi since i went early with jackson. put your trust in the Lord that it will all work out. take care!
Hang in there Marcy and call if you need anything. I also had a really nasty stomach bug the week before I had Baylee. Hopefully Blaise will get cozy and wait a little longer!!!
so sorry you are sick...poor mama and blaise:( sam and i will continue to pray for you both. that stinks about the doctor being on vacation. hopefully, he will keep on cookin until he gets back:)
I'm so sorry about your rough weekend, but glad that you are feeling better now. Hang in there and hopefully, Blaise will too. You're in my thoughts and prayers.
