Sorry... Really didn't mean to slack off so impressively there... :)
I'm not enjoying my last trimester. I've been on modified bedrest for weeks, plus I managed to catch myself THE most impressive sinus infection EVER! *waits for applause* Plus, I also have what I suspected what bronchitis, but now believe to be asthma. Ever coughed til you puke nightly? Oh I have... Believe you me!
So, less than 2 weeks after I finished up my prescription of amoxicillin, I had to call the OB begging for a Z-Pak and something, ANYTHING! to help me breathe. He called in the Z-Pak and an inhaler of Ventolin (albuterol). Didn't matter much, as I ended up in the ER later that night (Sunday) because I flat out couldn't breathe. Felt like I was drowning. Wel... That and the fact I called twice to have the one-call doctor paged and no one bothered returning my call. *rawrs*
My O2 sats were OK, 96 - 98%... But, Calvin is one hyperactive little critter, lemme tell ya! Aaron convinced me to go to the ER because the Baby Bit wasn't moving very much-- which isn't like him at all. And if Mama can't breathe, baby can't breathe, right?
So, we went and they sent me to L&D. They got the monitors on me and all and then the nurses grew concerned because Calvin really just wasn't himself (read : he was asleep?). Then, they gave me 2 cups of orange juice and a pitcher of ice water and told me to drink to perk him up.
I did and BOY did he.
Poor nurse had to stand there for over an our holding the monitor and chasing the kid all over my belly. She said that she was SO calling in sick if she got a chance to before my induction. LOL I was told that they needed a steady 15 minute trace on his heartrate which took over 2 hours to get because he jumped from one side to the other and rolled around a lot. Which, let's just say is probably good as he started the night in some strange transverse-like position... But, with as mobile as he is, I do believe he has the capability of getting head down once more. Fingers crossed, anyways. I'd really rather not have a C-section, but... If I do, you'd better believe I'm having a tubal while they're in there!
Ok. I'll hush. It's just... I can't sleep, I have reflux something awful, drainage that's drowning me, and a hyperactive Baby Bit. LOL I stand NO CHANCE at rest, people.
