How are you today? What do you have to brav about, complain about, or share with the group?

What do you love to read about but would never actually want to do yourself?

    I got a late start on this today since I was at the ER all night with a UTI. It didn't feel a thing like the UTIs I've had previously (no constant urge or painful urination), and unfortunately it was several hours before I could give them a urine sample. Of course I was shipped to L&D for the first couple of hours for fetal monitoring (it took a while since I wasn't very cooperative, in my shakey, sweaty, pukey, unable to sit or stand by myself state). Thankfully, the baby sounded fine and kept kicking at the monitor, and there were no uterine contractions. I went back to the ER, had blood drawn, and then was sent for an ultrasound of all my abdominal organs, since I was having mostly upper abdominal pain and they suspected my gallbladder was the culprit. By that point my lower back had started to hurt. About three hours after admission (and four hours after the upper ab pain and nausea had started at home), I finally got some zofran and morphine (oddly not effective) and then dilaudid (which hapilly let me sleep). The saline finally got me rehydrated enough that I could pee, and then I was out the door with my diagnosis and prescriptions pretty fast after that.

    So today I think today my thing I like to read about but would not want to do is give birth without some sort of pain medication. I like to think that I'm tough and that I can handle it, but maybe I'm more susceptible to pain than I thought after all.

    I am doing pretty well today! My dad comes home from the hospital so I am pretty excited about that. I am grumpy though. I have some work I am trying to get done today. Last night, after dinner, I was so exhausted I fell asleep on the couch. We had spent all day putting the nursery together. We have a general rule of thumb that whoever cooks, the other person cleans up. Well since I fell asleep I didn't get a chance to clean up. Then this morning, as I am clearly working and my husband is just watching tv, he asks me to clean up dinner dishes. I was so ticked. 99% of the time I am perfectly fine splitting the housework but when I am this swamped with work would it kill him to help out a little more? Marriage isn't always equal, if he were this busy I would take care of him.

    How are you today? What do you have to brav about, complain about, or share with the group? I woke up feeling ok today but then got super sleepy. After a 3 hour nap I have now thrown up and feel like I have a cold. Boo.

    What do you love to read about but would never actually want to do yourself? I wasn't sure how to answer this but someone else said natural child birth and I think that is a great answer.

    Today I am very thankful that we all are okay. Last night my husband and I were driving home from his 10 year high school reunion and we were going through a blinking yellow light and someone ran the red. My husband was able to start turning to try to decrease the impact, but we hit on the front driver side and then again in the back as we spun. The EMS workers cleared me, and when we got home I called my OBGYN to see if they wanted me to do anything else. I went in for monitoring, and both twins are doing great. I'm really sore today, but nothing out of the ordinary. 

    There were so many family/friends/neighbors willing to help out at a moments notice, that it makes me very grateful. I'm still nervous about the twins, but for no particular reason, so I'm planning for re-confirmation that they are ok at my next appt. on Friday.

    I'm not sure what I would want to read about but not do, but maybe something like sky diving or bungie jumping.

    That is so scary! Glad to hear that you're all doing ok. I would have been super nervous about it too.

    Thanks. I did like that before they discharged me from the hospital, the resident asked me if I felt comfortable with leaving. He said that moms normally know when something is wrong, and that they would keep me longer if I thought they should. I'm pretty sure my worry is not founded on anything, just my brain playing tricks on me. The babies are still moving around a ton, so I'm taking it as reassurance that everything is still ok.
