Visit to the ER

Thursday morning I woke up feeling a little queezy, so I kinda took it easy. Brian went to preschool and I told the kids if they practiced piano and helped clean up a bit we would go to see Planet 51. Well, turns out I picked up the boys from preschool and threw up the rest of the day. I was so sick. Aimee was such a big helper and took care of the kids getting them lunch and entertaining them while I was busy in the bathroom. Needless to say, Andrew came home early from work and felt he needed to get me in to Labor and Delivery.

Richelle met us there. I started going into the hospital and couldn't even walk 10 ft. before I started throwing up in the flower bed right in front of the glass doors. I was calling for Andrew, but he couldn't hear me. A sweet nurse on her way out going home stopped and asked if I needed help. All I could do was nod. She came back out with another nurse and a wheelchair and took me in while Andrew parked the truck.

They told me because I was under 22 weeks we had to go to the ER, because they don't feel the baby is a threat and because they are so busy at Labor and Delivery they have to direct traffic to somewhere else. Needless to say, they got me right in. They started me on a bag of IV fluids and gave me Zofran- the meds they give to cancer patients.

They asked the Labor and Delievery doctor what else I needed. They started me on 2 more bags of IV's and brought me a sack lunch to see if maybe eating would take away the nauseousness. I ate half a cracker and threw up. Andrew was hungry I told him I ordered room service for him and he ate every bite, poor thing was starving.

At 11:15 P.M. after being there since 6:00 we went to Richelle's to get the kids. They were worried and still up, if you can believe it. They sent me home with some throw up bags and a prescription for more Zofran. Jim and Andrew gave me a blessing, the kids got in the truck and home we went.

Andrew had to go to Walgreen's to get my medicine, and Aimee helped put the kids down. She is such a life saver. I was throwing up, Andrew was getting my medicine and she was cleaning the house at 1:00 in the morning. We were all exhausted. I am so grateful Andrew took me in. I am feeling a lot better, just low on energy. Man I was sick.

It's a BoY!

Well, it's official....we are having another boy. Girls 4 Boys 2----Game Over!
Isn't he so cute! He is grabbing his toes above his head.
We are sooo excited he is coming to our family.

There is the little guys arm and face.

His profile and spine. He was asleep when we first started, then he wouldn't cooperate very well, he is one busy kid!
