ER visit...

Sicily...this post is for you. Now that I am finally able to get out of bed I will let you know all about my exciting last weekend. Last Wednesday, I was feeling nauseous but just thought pregnancy and nothing else. Then Thursday I woke up puking...still thinking pregnancy...then when everything started working, I knew that this was stomach flu and not pregnancy. I was sick all day and night and also Friday. I couldn't keep anything down. I called Craig and he said that if I was still losing lots of fluids on Saturday, that I needed to go into the hospital and get an IV. He talked about me going to Idaho Falls and he would check me into the hospital there overnight. After having only 5 saltines, 10 ounces of water in 3 days, and being 13 weeks pregnant, I went into the ER Saturday afternoon. We finally got called back after 2 hours, the doctor took one look and at me and said, "Let's get this girl an IV." They did blood work and all that stuff. They tried 3 times before they finally got an IV in (mom asked why I didn't just do it myself :) ) and got me started on some fluids. Then they gave me some zofran so I would stop throwing up and some potassium since it was so low in my blood. Then the potassium made me sick......MORE ZOFRAN PLEASE! The doctor wanted to be generous with my pregnancy so he gave me some more fluids. While they switched from the 2 bag to the 3rd, my IV blew and I needed another one. So 4 IVS later, 3 Liters of fluids, zofran(which makes you sleepy too) I was finally discharged to go at midnight. Luckily Dan had sun, mon, and tues off of work, so I was able to rest and recover. So today was my first good day. I actually got out of bed! Anyway, that is the story of the never ending stomach flu....I hope I never have to have this story again! :)

Made one past the goalie!

So for those of you that don't know...or having nothing to do with facebook, then you might have missed this information

WE'RE EXPECTING!!! March 24 is the magic date for this little one which is nice because I get to be pregnant during the winter, there is no one on my side of the family with a birthday in March...but March is a busy one for Dan's side. We are very excited and have been waiting to add a new little one to our family for a while. It is finally time.....which is great since Bella will be 4 this December!...Bella will be a great big sister and already talks to my belly and asks if the baby is happy. Looking forward to another adventure in our family!
