updates...

Hello All,
I just wanted to fill all of you in on all the details of the past few days events since I haven't gotten the chance to talk to you all. I woke up Monday morning throwing up and then started having contractions that were pretty painful and got very regular...only about five minutes apart for a while. I ended up getting an appointment with another doctor because mine wasn't in, and she said I was four cm. dilated and sent me to labor and delivery to be monitered. When I got there they weren't for sure that I was in labor, and said that oftentimes having contractions doesn't really mean you are in labor. The main thing they look for is cervical change, and my cervix didn't change at all the whole time I was there. (In fact, another doctor said I was only 3cm). Anyway, it was a good thing I went, because I was really dehydrated and had two have almost two whole IV bags before my ketones were low enough to go home. Anyway, I woke up this morning still getting sick, so the Doctor called me in some phenigran (sp?) which helped me finally get some food down and then I slept all day (which is why I didn't answer my phone if any of you called...I was completely knocked out for about 5 hours). I have eaten again, and hopefully am out of the woods with the stomach virus or whatever I have had going on, and I plan on going back to work tomorrow, hopefully. I have another appointment at 3:30, and I'll post another update tomorrow. Sorry we didn't get to call everyone from the hospital...I just didn't want everyone getting all excited and starting to come down here without knowing if I was actually in active labor. Anyhoo...I just wanted to make sure everyone is completely filled in, and I will try to call all of you back tomorrow! Love You and see you soon!
