Over the past few days....

Over the past few days, I have had ups and downs. Not emotionally...pregnancy wise. After my apt on Wednesday I felt perfectly fine. So the plan was to go shopping on Saturday morning. I figured Eric could put me in a wheel chair and we could zip through a couple stores and then head home.

So Saturday came and we went to Walmart. I got in my wheel chair and off Michelle Eric and I went. The store was packed. And I kept getting irritated with Eric and he would wheel us in to the main isle and just stop. I felt like a damn truck backing up in the middle of a busy intersection. However, we made it. I even picked up a few items for the baby to have for when he comes home. Just essentials like sheets and pjs, and bathing supplies. After going to the Baby Mecca, that being Babies R Us, Walmart doesnt have crap.

So all in all I felt pretty fine. By the time we were done I knew my afternoon was about up. But we had to run to Home Depot to pay a bill. And then we made plans to go to Little Caesars for lunch. So we got in to Little Caesars in Corunna/Owosso and of course I had to pee right away. So then I made my way to the booth. We ordered salad/pizza and bread sticks. Well since the day before yesterday I had a pain in my right side. Only it was hardly note worthy. So I just let it go. Well while we waited for the pizza, it progressed to my entire stomach. And I was convinced I was going in to labor. At Little Caesars of all places. Michelle and Eric got me emotional. And of course I started crying like a baby. haha So it was decided that we were to pay the bill ASAP and head out to home or hospital. So Eric went and got the car. While Michelle and I tried to make our way out the door. When I could finally stand up the pain just took over big time. And I could barely walk out. Of course people stared as I grabbed a booth. haha And I doubled over in pain at the door. And I by the time I finally stumbled my butt to the car I told Eric I didnt have time to make it to Lansing, that he had to take me to Owosso hospital.

Him and Michelle thought I was nuts to want to have my baby there. But it wasnt what I wanted...the pain was so bad I didnt think I could make the trip to Lansing. But the wave slowed and I told him to make his way to Lansing. By the time we got there the pains progressively lessened. And I was on my way to feeling much better of course.

After being monitored, I was released. They of course told me because of my situation that I made the right decision to get it checked out. That I can not play around with my stitch and all that. So of course we left. Stopped at Beaners for a Peppermint Stick Mocha latte. I get a small because of the caffeine. And of course Eric got his Carmel marvel.

By the time we got home I was feeling those fake contractions again, only this time they were more manageable. And of course throughout our day I had hardly drank any water. This is a no no where I am concerned. That alone can cause me to have contractions. And I am notorious for not drinking enough water. Not that I dont want to, it just is never enough. I am always dehydrated. And the rest of my night was uncomfortable.

By morning things were much much better. So Sunday was spent just chilling out. We wrapped gifts. Oh wait, Michelle wrapped all of our gifts, while Eric and I watched and critiqued her. haha Then we watched some Christmas shows and went to bed.

Today I have to go in and get my blood drawn. Other than that....its work and lay in bed. Thats what I do best.

Baby is kicking up a storm. And the docs tell me he looks really happy in there. I hope so!

Tomorrow is 31 weeks and counting......
