Well, it’s been a busy week here. I couldn’t mention it last post, because it hadn’t happened yet. But, Saturday night my parent’s and I threw a surprise party for Hubby (for graduation). I think we really surprised him, he didn’t know it was coming. I couldn’t believe we actually pulled it off! It sure takes a lot to get things past him, so with the help of my mother, we were able to do it!!
We got him down to Guiseppe’s Depot, and the hostess walked us back to the room. I walked in first and ducked to the side and then he walked in. Everyone yelled surprise and it he got an ear to ear grin on his face. We had a nice dinner and the cake was from his favorite cake place, Little London (they did our wedding cake). It was cute, it had a skeleton on it, with a mortar board and diploma and it said, “Finally!” And boy was that cake yummy! We had a small chunk of leftovers, it lasted 2 days. You can see pictures on our web page.
Hubby’s dad left early Sunday morning to fly home. And I had to go to work. I started my last week at WnW. I don’t think it has sunk in yet.
Made it through the week fine, until Wednesday. I came home from work, about 5:45pm, and suddenly I started to bleed. From the area I really shouldn’t be bleeding from right now. So, I called the doctor and he told me to come down to the hospital to get checked out (he was all ready there). So, we did. Due to my current condition (being pregnant) we had to get seen in the Birthing Center (or Labor and Delivery). It was really busy there and I had to wait in the hall in a wheelchair. Well, then I started to have contractions. So, yes, I was in a bit of some pre-term labor. Yes, rather scary as she really shouldn’t be coming out at 26 & ½ weeks. I had to spend several hours on the monitors, and I got a quick ultra sound and everything. It was determined that baby was just fine. PHEW! Turns out my cervix was having issues and that is what was bleeding for some odd reason. We are still trying to determine that. And who knows why I was having contractions. Boy do they feel weird. And it’s even weirder to watch them on the monitor.
So, we spent about 5 hours there, they ended up putting about a liter and a half of fluid in me via IV, and also giving me a shot to stop the contractions. That all seemed to work. I started asking to go home about 10:45pm and they let me go around 11pm. What a night!
The next day I was all ready scheduled to go and see the doctor anyway. So, I went in to see him again. I had to also take my glucose test that day. The doctor was kind enough to tell me that I am not allowed to go to California. So, our nice trip together to Monterey is off. We are both really bummed about that, but due to the fact that we just had this episode and we are still trying to determine why we had this episode, I am not allowed to venture far from home.
The doctor was also kind enough to tell me no more working at WnW. I am not allowed to stand on my feet for 8 hours at a time anymore. By the time this all happened, I was down to 2 days left of work there, but I am not allowed to finish them now. I was a little bummed, but I don’t think it has sunk in yet! But considering I really don’t want this little girl to come out yet, I am okay with it.
Tomorrow I hit 27 weeks. I am now thankful to see the weeks tick by. It’s scary to go through that, so every DAY that passes and things are going smooth, I am happy. But I also am into my third trimester now. Everything I have read always says that the 2nd trimester is the best. Boy, they weren’t kidding. I get heartburn all the time now, if I lay in one position to long my hips hurt, the tiredness is back…the list of things now happening to me goes on. But, I will gladly endure it for more time for her to stay in there and grow.
So, since we had to cancel everything for next week, we plan on taking a few days to ourselves and maybe do something like register. I would like to take some time and do SOMETHING just the two of us. But since I am not allowed to venture far from home and I am supposed to take it easy, I am not sure what yet.
At least I get to spend more time with Hubby the next few months. We did get the dresser for the baby’s room delivered yesterday. So, the baby at least has 1 piece of furniture now!
Well, here is what baby girl K is up to now:
