4 weeks left of this
pregnancy. God, it's taking its toll. I'm not online much lately, but when I am I stay as long as I can. This
escapist behavior helps me to distance my head from my physical aches and pains. And speaking of distance... For as infrequently as I see my feet anymore, I suspect they're in another
zip code now.
I had to go to the hospital on Thursday because I've been having bad projectile
vomiting, chronic heartburn with
acid reflux and major dizziness. I haven't been able to peacefully eat or sleep for several weeks and it got to the point where I was scared that my deteriorating physical health might harm the baby. I was taken straight up to
maternity instead of the emergency room. The staff immediately strapped fetal monitors to my belly and ran an IV line into my left hand. The baby was fine, but I was seriously
dehydrated. I was pumped full of two liters of
electrolyte solution. Plus, I was told that I had some sort of
infection. Oh joy! Now I take enough meds to choke... well... at least a
chihuahua.
Well, I'm on the mend, but I'll be happy when this baby finally comes out. Right now, though, I'll just have to bide my time. Just keep me stocked with plenty of ice cream, ginger ale and
PlayStation games and keep telling me
it's all good!
