is by Tracy Chapman. It's a song that has a very special meaning to me but when I found this video someone put together for it (there is no real video for it) I was reminded why we are here and what God has for us. Truth, Love, Peace and Hope.
Two hospital trips in a week what fun! The first was just to be on the safe side. Last friday I was feeling some pain and wasn't sure what was going on so I called the Dr and asked if all this sounded normal after about 30 min. the office called me back and told me to go the the hospital to be monitored. I thought this was a little much but I went up there and everything was fine. So monday Tim got a really bad case of the stomach flu but we thought it was food poisoning. He was super sick like the worst I have ever seen but I felt fine and since we thought it was food poisoning I didn't think I was going to get sick. So Tim started to feel fine on thursday, friday rolls around and I'm at work and I don't feel good so I leave work early. Come home and just ..... well I won't give it in details but after being violently sick in the shower and lying down for two hours with tons of pain we called the on-call Dr to find out what we should do. They told Tim to take me to the hospital. Yeah Again! When we get there they tell me that I might have got the stomach flu and the pain that I'm feeling is not contractions but the upper GI track. Here is where the fun begins I become violently sick again right when Susie, Steve and Crissy show up. Luckly for them they didn't have to be in the room. Then the nurse is trying to get fluids in me and Zolfran an anti-nausea but since I'm so dehydrated they can't get a vain to pop up to stick the IV in. So after cutting the circulation off and rubbing my arm they have to wrap my arm in a hot towel so they can get to a vain. I had to lay there for about 3 hours while they put two different fluids in me so I wouldn't feel sick and be dehydrated. The good news Matty was fine! They had the monitor on him and he was great, heartbeat was fine and he was just moving all over the place. I'm feeling ok today not great but I should be feeling better the next couple days.
I found some of the cutest baby boy stuff online! I was looking in the back of one of my baby magazines ( which by the way have taken over the house ) and I found this website and had to look it up. Of course they have stuff in there like little kid hoodies that are like 100 bucks and pacifiers that are 70 bucks but I found three little things that were so cute!!! And under 40 bucks!
So the last two OB visits I've measured large (thanks like I don't already feel huge) Well today I found out that I'm not 29 and a half I'm 31 and a half !WHOA! OK! So my official due date is...June 23rd as of today!
Well it's 430 and i've been up for two hours! i've watched a movie, tracked matty's movement, and have taken a shower and still can't go to sleep and an added bonus i think a skunk sprayed somewhere near our house and tons of dogs are barking....... oh joy! There is nothing like some good old insomnia to make you feel like the next 11 weeks are going to be real fun!
I was counting how many weeks I have till I go on leave and realized I only have 11 weeks total. I just can't believe it. I guess everybody feels like that. There is still so much to do. But the big stuff should be done this next week. Tim and I are going to get the crib and changing table on monday then my shower is next month so I will have some time to get ready for that. I never thought about Matty being early but a lot of people have told us be prepared, you never know they might be two weeks late or 5 weeks early. I'm starting to go to my Dr. appt. every two weeks, I feel like I should just live there. And I feel like I'm getting some freak summer cold thing. Some girl at my work went out already and she isn't due till the end of August! There is something wrong here. My mind is consumed with what labor is going to be like, will Tim be here when I go to the hospital, will I be like SUPER MEGAN and be able to do it without the drugs, how long will it take, will I still be able to nice to people? I have a history of being a little crabby when I don't feel good. This is too much to think about I think I'm going to go and take a nap!
I'm totally awake! Last night I slept in Matty's room cause I've been getting up so much I've been waking Tim up. So I got a little twin bed all to myself. Really it was me and the "Snoogle" ( a body pillow made for the "pregnant mama's" ) Then after getting up to go to the bathroom I couldn't sleep cause I felt like eating some thing and now I'm just awake. Darn bananas. I've had just enough sleep to not be super tired and just enough to start thinking about the day ahead. So here I am sitting at the bar in our kitchen writing this hoping that the glow of the laptop will lure me into some kind of sleep mode. And trying to go back to sleep before Matty wakes up because let me tell you this kid has got some energy! Can we say HYPER? Tim and I have no clue what we are in for...lol! But it should be fun to watch! Nite everybody!
First we'll hit up the Starbucks. Caffeine free for me and Matty. Then off to Macy's for Clinique bonus time. So much make-up so little time! Then after some quality shopping time we're heading to Ron's. I'm looking for some great idea's for my baby shower! I guess I could say it's Grandma-Mom, Mom-Daughter, and son day! Thank goodness Matty doesn't know that we are going shopping for make-up and not little guys stuff!
Tim went to Santa Maria to do some work and before he got there he calls me to tell me that they are opening a Me N Ed's Pizza near the new Starbucks. What? OMG That is like my favorite pizza. And for all you that don't know there is like a Me N Ed's everywhere in the valley. This is the best thing to come from the valley. Well besides me.....lol totally joking!
I'm anemic! They called me yesterday to tell me. No big deal I just have to take another pill. Pregnancy=Pills. Oh well! ={
Tim went to Mammoth to go snowboarding and you can totally be a dirty lurker. They have this web cam thingy and I totally got to see my Timmy and everything of course I was talking to the computer like he could hear me but it was so much fun.
