Sunday afternoon, I passed out in the bathroom. I went in to talk to Eric, and all I remember is leaning back against the sink, and next thing I knew I was on the floor. Eric said I landed on my belly, and if he hadn't been sitting on the toilet I would've cracked my head. Since I landed on my belly, we took the kids to his parents and he took me to the nearest hospital. By the time we got there I was having some contractions and severe back pain (worse than usual). Well, the dr there called my reg OB, who wanted transferred to the hospital he is out of. So they moved me thare by ambulance. Put me on a fetal heart monitor and stuff. Babys heartbeat was ok, but was still having contractions and back pain still bed, mostly lower back. More like Braxton Hicks, not reguler at all, and iwasn't dilated or effaced atall. The dr decided to keep me overnight on the monito just to be safe, and he wanted to do an u/s to check my placenta for tears or detachment (there was none - look great the dr said). Eric had met up with his mom and rode down ith her when they took me in the ambulance, I was soooo thankful she was there. Eric was scared to death, and a total wreck, and she was great in helping keep him somewhat calm. Plus when it was time for him to leave, I woulda been worried sick if he'd been driving as upset as he was. He was in tears, trying his hardest to hide it, shaking terribly. He really didn't want to leave. But I told him the boys knew something happened and that they would need to see Daddy and be reassured everything is ok. He "left" 5 times before he actualy left. You know, leave, get two steps from the door and run back in to throw his arms around me. Then he surprised me by coming back in to spend the night. He'd gotten the boys to sleep at his parents, and made arrangements with his sister to take Chris to shool and keep Shawn for the next day. I was so (happily!) surrised when he came back in with flowers. In the morning after my u/s, he went to the cafeteria to eat and call everyone to let them know the u/s was ok. When he came back up, he'd me bought this adorable little stuffed monkey. It is just the cutest softest little doll. Cheered me up immensely, and all day when I started to miss the boys, I could just cuddle my little monkey and feel a little better. arouund two in the afternnon I was able to come off the monitors and was happily and healthily (albeit a little tired) on my home by four. Strict orders to take it easy for a few days, no heavy lifting, lots of fluids, and good food.
So all is well. As tired as I was and happyto be home, just couldn't sleep tho. But now I've occupied myself for a bit, I think I may be ready to get some sleep......
