what is going on?

So this past Thursday I started feeling a little nauseated. Wes and I left the college bible study earlier than normal b/c I wasn't feeling well. Starting at about midnight my body decided to get rid of all that was within me. Every hour until about 9am! FUN!! Finally Wes called the doctor for me and they told me to go to the hospital to get fluids.

So I go check in on the Labor & Delivery floor and they totally admit me as if I were about to have a baby! They did the monitors for my contractions and baby's heart beat and gave me an IV. I asked the nurse if she could loosen one of the monitors and she said it was tight b/c I was having a contraction. WHAT? I had NO idea. She also said they were 4 minutes apart. So part of me is thinking...YES!! I am gonna have this baby and get away with not feeling contractions! Anyway, they checked me and said I was dilated only about a cheerio (so nothing to get excited about). Basically I had a GI virus and the dehydration was making me have contractions.

So for the last few days I have been on the couch or bed sleeping and resting.

I will say the scare was a good trial run for me. Now I have a much better idea of how things will go when I really do go in to labor. Which by the way, due date is less than 3 weeks! And my husband has already proven to be an awesome support when I become unraveled! I am so glad God gave him to me!

My mom told me that my cousin had the same "GI bug" and that 36 hours later she was in labor, so I better make sure my bags are packed! Well they are!!

I know that every mom-to-be must go through this waiting and wondering phase her last few weeks, it is just a little strange. Makes it hard to "plan" your day or next days events wondering if you will be in labor or not.

So on that note, continue to lift a sister up!
