Dehydrated!

Yesterday was not a good day for me. It started off Monday night at 10pm I was on the phone with my friend Melssia and Sora was trying to sleep and threw up ALL over the bed. So instead of sleeping I had to wash sheets. 

Tuesday night around 11, I threw up, then again at 5, and again at 7am. James was on his way home and told me to call the dr. I called Labor and delivery. I couldn't explain how I felt and started crying. They told me to come in and they'll check me out

Turns out I was dehydrated which was causing contractions. I started balling because it's too early for the baby to come out. He could have vision or brain problems :( 

My nurse Michelle explained that rehydrating me will stop on the contractions. That made me feel a little better. 

Again if he came we were not ready! 

I needed an IV and the needle she poked me with was like a harpoon, k not that big. But it made me pass out from the pain, she didn't hit a vein after a few tries. I tried not to be a baby and cry, I just saw a funny pattern of stars take over my vision, I could hear them talking, but couldn't respond. 

After a few bags of fluid I felt better. Went to my mother in laws, had a juice box went to sleep and woke up needing to throw up. 

Poor james was probably delirious from the lack if sleep. He got off work and was home at 7am, at the hospital he tried to get some rest (I think listening to the baby's heartbeat monitor helped) he took a long nap at his moms. When we came home I slept and woke up feeling MUCH MUCH better I made soup, but ended up throwing that up. 

James made himself coffee to help regulate his sleep and went to bed at 2am only to wake up at 5am to Sora throwing up. 

*sigh* hopefully we can get it together. She's doing better then me, she's been able to eat no problem, I have a baby in me which I think isn't helping

On the plus side I got to experience what Labor & Delivery will be like at that hospital since I'll be delivering there. All the doctors and nurses were SO friendly and personable, such a big difference then San Jose were 90% of the staff spoke English as a 2nd language. 

We picked up my anti-nausea meds this morning, just took my 1st pill so cross your fingers no more up chucks!
