What a day

Yesterday's mood changed very quickly. I woke up early. My hip just didn't feel right. It felt like one of them was out of joint. I came downstairs to watch some TV so I wouldn't wake Kris with all my tossing and turning. Kyle decided to join me after about an hour. When Kris went to PT we headed upstairs, so see if we could get another hour of shut eye. I started to feel better. I got ready to go to a appt. in the hospital (my 4th of the week). Things went well at the hospital, I even got a really good parking spot.

I got Kyle and myself home, and this is when things changed. I wasn't feeling well so I put Kyle down for his nap 1/2 an hour early. I was about to take a nap myself. That's when the nights before dinner came up. I couldn't keep anything down for the rest of the day. Including water.

What was worse I couldn't remember when I last felt the baby move. I decided to lay down and track my movements. I hadn't felt the baby move in the next 2 hours. I decided that this warranted a trip to the hospital. Unfortunately Kris was sick himself, and we can't bring Kyle into the hospital unless he is the patient (new H1N1 restrictions). I drove myself into to the hospital, and started to freak out.

They had trouble finding the babies heart beat. My contractions were also only a minute apart a strong. We were able to find the babies heart beat. But the baby still wasn't moving. I got two bags of iv fluids and started to feel better. I still couldn't feel him move.

The doctor decided to do an ultrasound to see if he was moving, and I just couldn't feel it. They also were going to measure the amniotic fluid around the baby. All was looking good, but baby still wasn't moving. The doctor went out and brought in a sound machine, this worked well. I guess little baby boy doesn't like getting woken by loud sounds, but it worked well.

Almost five hours later, and I was feeling much better. I could feel the baby move. It was past midnight, and I was able to go home. All I wanted was to go to sleep.

Today I still don't feel 100%. I have been taking it easy. I have been able to hold things down. I haven't tried very much. I am very much ready to have the baby now. Tossing and turning with the beach ball in front of me has gotten old. Thank goodness its not much longer. If this baby doesn't come sooner they have decided to induce me in 13 days. Whoo hoo.
