Discomforts of Pregnancy...

So yesterday on my lunch hour I had some pretty severe abdominal pain that actually caused me not to be able to walk or stand up straight. After a minute or so the pain eased up and so I loaded up and headed back to work, only to have the pain happen again in the parking lot of the bank. After crawling for a few feet, Afton, one of the tellers came upon me and went inside to get some help. After causing a huge scene on the curb of the bank Laila took me to the emergency room. Joe Thompson, our teller Operations Manager followed us in his car just to make sure everything worked out okay. They checked me in and wheeled me back to my room. After the drew blood, set up the Foley catheter, hit me with a dose of morphine for the pain, Mion arrived. With the help of the morphine, things where a lot less intense by now, and I was a lot less scared. I knew that I would be just fine but I was horrible scared for the baby.

We had an a very in depth u/s that lasted for about an hour. We got to see absolutely every aspect of our little guy....No we didn't find out the sex - Boo. Our u/s tech measured every single thing in order to make sure that the baby was developing and not under any stress. The most interesting thing was that we found out that the according to the babies development we are at 17 weeks 2 days. That's one week further along than we thought. 6 ounces, 143 bpm, perfect.

In the end we where discharged with the heading "Discomforts of Pregnancy", Mion and I say more like the Death Throws of Pregnancy...but that's just semantics. We are home now and under doctors orders for lots of rest and fluid.

Baby is great, I'm doing better.
XO!
