Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday! I ended up at the hospital on Tuesday night, come to find out I was severely dehydrated, and that is what was causing my contractions and heartburn. I got to the L & D they stuck me about 11 times trying to get an IV. They have always had a problem gettting IVs on me. So after about the 11th stick they stopped trying and called an anethesioloist (s?). He got there really quickly, ended up using my exterior juglar vein. I was terrified I have never that I remember had an IV in my neck other than a central line a few months ago! But the good news is I got to come home, swollen and lethargic! They put so much liquid in me in such a short period of time my skin began to hurt and sting, and it became bright red! My BP got really high a couple of times, so now they have me doing a 24 hour urine specimen to make sure there isn't protein building up in my urine. But since I got out of the hospital my feet haven't been the same size. So tennis shoes and flip flops for me for awhile! Baby Liam is doing great though! So I am very happy. It is just a little difficult for me to deal with so much at once! I am so, so tired today and yesterday. So, if you read this and you believe in prayer please pray for me! I need some strength. I will prolly blog some more later!
