The cup did not pass for me

To all of my concerned family and friends:

This will probably be the last post from me for quite awhile. Kaylee should be here soon and then my sister will take up the posting.

My weekend recap:
Friday night i was feeling fabulous! Had pizza and a big slice of apple pie with a generous amount of ice cream. Around 10pm my stomach started churning and that's when all the fun began. I will spare you all the disgusting details. To make a very long story short- i got the stomach flu. Because of the puking and other wonderfulness that comes with the stomach bug, i ended up becoming severely dehydrated and going into labor by 3am. I waited until 430am and said ok call 911 or drive 90 to the hospital. We drove 90 to the hospital.

Upon arriving at the hospital they immediately hooked me up to IV. This was complicated because i was so dehydrated. They had an anesthesiologist come in and numb my arm and dig for awhile until he found an ok vein. (you folks should see all my bruises)... anyways... after they got the IV started with fluids they noticed my heart rate was out of control... NO DUH!!!! I was kinda freaking out and in terrible pain because of contractions!!!! So they gave me this medication to stop contractions which made my pulse go through the roof even more.... like 148 or something. More docs, more needles, more oxygen... etc... it was some serious drama

That medication didn't work... they tried another medication... that didn't work... so they put me on the most horrific medication I've ever had to be injected with in my life! Magnesium Sulfate. It almost killed me. You can ask my mom. I felt like i was dying of a heart attack. It makes you feel like you are on fire from the inside out and like you're gonna puke and like your heart is going to pound out of your chest until you kill over...

After 12 hours of this medication and a ton of other medications they were finally able to get the contractions to stop. They admitted me into a high risk pregnancy unit and thats where i stayed until i became hydrated. After 5 or 6 liters of fluid i was able to use the restroom and actually talk without my tongue sticking to the roof of my mouth.

I had my honey send the picture above to my mommy so that she would know i was on my death bed and come rescue me :) It worked and my mom came Saturday and stayed at the hospital with me all night and all day Sunday while Daddy took care of Jayden.

I am home now and I'm hydrated. Unfortunately the contractions have started up again and if the medication I'm taking does not kick in within the next 2 hours i will be back in the hospital. (which is ok) I wont need to be put on nasty medication and poked a million times. This time it would be to have a c-section which would be wonderful.

Kaylee's bed is all ready to go. Sheets are washed, blankets are washed, clothes are washed and folded, her diaper bag is packed and my overnight bag is packed too. Her car seat is ready and so are her parents :) I'm prepared as much as i can be for this little girl to get here. I can hardly wait to kiss her little chubby cheeks.

Please keep my husband and I and Jayden in your thoughts and prayers always. My poor little guy doesn't understand why mommy cant pick him up and hold him... its awful- but thank God for a precious Mother in Law who has stepped in every step of the way to take care of him as best as a grandmother can. :)

Keep checking back often for pictures of my little baby girl who should arrive no later than September 10th.
