I haven’t even been blogging for two weeks which is HUGE for me. Two weeks ago Thursday I went to the doc to do my 24 week glucose test (I passed) and then went over and had my 24-week appointment with my midwife. Baby girl is doing well and her heartbeat was over 140, she sure did sound like a galloping horse. Shortly after my appointment I began feeling sick, itchy throat, stomach pain, etc. On Friday morning I sent a message to my doc and she instructed me to go into labor and delivery right away. I waited. Me being me I thought that this would all pass and I would right back to normal. WRONG! I ended up having cramping early Saturday morning and my fever continued, we headed to L&D. Everything checked out fine but I was still in a lot of pain due to girly being breech. She finally flipped around the following day but I was still super, duper sick. I ended up going to work on Tuesday and barely made it through the day and stayed home Wednesday to go to intermediate care, where they treated me for bronchitis, even though I had a 101+ temp. By Friday I was still sick, running a fever and still unable to eat so I had went to my primary doctor where she finally said I was severely dehydrated and put me on an IV right away to pump fluids in me. In the end I ended up staying in bed for another three days, on antibiotics for the third time this pregnancy and still unable to keep any food or fluids in me. I headed back to work on Sunday and have been going strong for a week now.
It’s Been a Rough Month!
Okay, now that I updated you all on why I was M.I.A. I feel better. Whew!
This past Saturday I threw Jim a surprise 30th birthday party. His actual birthday is tomorrow and the poor thing is so sick. I am sure it’s a combination of the serious drinking that occurred at the party and running down of his immune system. I will post pictures in a post following this.
