So I've always done pretty well to avoid emergency rooms. I've gotten stitches twice before but i don't remember any of it really. So I consider this my 1st experience. Sitting and waiting, and then waiting some more, and then just a little more... haha... but backing up a little bit, I had some bloody mucous down there yesterday and a constant pressure in my uterus all day. Well it wasn't too bad cause I still did a massage and unpacked some clothes and went to my Mom-in-laws house cause I was going with her to her doctor to get a cyst cut out. Well she noticed I was walking funny and I told about the pressure so she had me call my OB. So I left a message, cause they were unavailable, but while we sat and waited for my mom's name to be called, the pressure got really bad. There was no standing up straight for sure this time. I just figured it would go away and my mom could get little operation done. Well she wouldn't stand for it and rescheduled her appt. My OB called back and sent me to the Emergency Room. So off we went. 4:00 at that point. Cody came as soon as he looked as his phone (his was a practice) and we all (Wendi, Cody, and myself) just had a party in the ER. Lucky Wendi happens to know EVERYONE and is randomly related to some so we got bumped up a in line a little bit. Sweet! ... well I got my first gown and laid in my first hospital bed, got my first IV and catheter (ick), and we also got a fun surprise. We got an ultrasound and baby was very couperative today so the nice lady (Pam) helped us to know that we are having a little GIRL!!! Knowing that made the whole experience well worth it! Usually I would be so bugged if I waited all that time to find out nothing was wrong. But hey, at least I know we are both ok and our little girl is still growing and healthy. She now weighs 13 oz... but anyhow, we ended getting released around 11pm... and that was my first fun experience in the ER... :) Oh and my diagnoses is that I was extra dehydrated, cause my lips have been beyond help in the chapped department for the past week, and I woke up this morning and didn't even need to put on chapstick. SO that's what I think all the fuss was about!
