Well.. good news first... Little Christian and I are both just fine...
I woke up puking this morning... and I continued to puke all day. I couldn't keep down water, sprite, crackers... nothing. Nothing since dinner at 8pm last night. So, at 6pm, in severe abdominal pain, and puking up bile because my tummy was so empty, I called my doctor.
She had me go to Labor and Delivery. They hooked me up to hb and contraction monitors. Baby was fine.. very active the whole time, but I was having fairly regular contractions. I couldn't feel them, and she said that was good.. that they were just from being dehydrated.
My ketone levels were off the charts, so they gave me 2 bags of fluids and a dose of Zofran through an IV. Three hours later I got to leave and I am feeling much better.
I have successfully kept down 2 popsicles and a few sips of sprite.. knock on wood!!! My tummy still hurts.. I think I either have food poisoning or the flu... so hopefully it goes away quickly... maybe before the Zofran goes away? Hehe.
Man.. they had to poke me 5 times and give me a shot of lidocane to finally get a vein they could use. I was so dehydrated that they kept collapsing, and one hand even started filling up with fluid it was so gross.
It was cool feeling the baby kick at the monitors though.. and watching his heartbeat change when he was kicking, and when he was sleeping....
Just thought I'd let you all know! :o)
