64 days..

I can't believe we have 64 days left til our little girl will be here...We're getting more and more excited the closer we get! She'll be here before we know it, so we're trying to really take advantage of our alone time and some peaceful nights :)

There really isn't much to say..nothing too exciting is going on around here for us. We're both just working and trying to survive in the dang heat! IT IS SOOO HOT!!! I about die every day. Oh well, only a few more months til it cools off, I think I can make it!

Last weekend we went up to Idaho/Utah for a few days to spend some time with my family. It was a LOT of fun! We stayed at my mom's thursday night, and we always love that. She has such a cute, comfy home and we love to be there with her! Friday evening we went to Anneke and Tom's for a combined bday party for Andy, Aaron, Andrea and Sam which was SO much fun...we always laugh so hard and have such a good time when we're with family. It was a really fun weekend!

Sunday night at about 7 I started feeling really dizzy and light headed, and I've had little dizzy spells lately, so I thought it would just last 20-30 mins like my other ones. But it didn't go away...and didn't go away...and eventually made me really sick to my stomach and I started throwing up a bunch...so much in fact that a bunch of blood vessels in my face popped, all around my eyes. I looked really great..........

Anyway, I was finally able to relax and fall asleep at about 1 am...but woke up at 23o to no power in our apartment!! Lovely... I called our electric company and there was a huge outage, so we were without A/C for AN HOUR AND A HALF!! It was so ridiculously hot! After 30 mins or so, I went and sat in the shower with semi-cold water just to keep cool. It was bad enough being in a tiny apartment with no air, but there I was feeling like CRAP...with no air. It was not fun AT ALL. But at least I wasn't dizzy I just felt like I had a really bad migraine. And I couldn't keep even a little sip of water down..I just threw it right back up. But I was finally able to go back to sleep from 4-8, and when I got up then I called my doc to let her know what was going on. I was a MESS. She called me back a few hrs later and told me to go to the hospital to the OB Triage to have me and my baby monitored to make sure my blood pressure was okay, and that baby girl was okay as well. Sam had to work ,and couldn't get out of it, so his mom took me. They put that little thing on my belly to constantly hear the baby's heartbeat, and took my blood pressure every so often. And they also gave me an IV cause I was SEVERELY dehydrated. The nurse had a hard time getting my IV in cause my veins were collapsed from being so dry! So they pumped lots and lots of fluids in me and got some medicine to help my head and stomach. It was amazing how much better I felt after 15 mins of having that IV! One time when the nurse came in to check on me, she was talking to me, and then stopped and was listening to the baby's heartbeat, and she said "I think your baby has the hiccups!" And she did! haha, it was so cute...:) All that fluid must have gotten to her quick and made her hiccup. It was really cute. She's such a busy little girl, the ultrasound tech, my doc, and all the nurses I've ever seen have all said how much of a mover she is..and its true. She never holds still! But anyway.. I was there for like 5 hrs and then gotta go home. I felt sooo much better. They put me on a clear liquid diet for 12 hrs to get me really really hydrated again. But by Tuesday morning I felt good as new! Thank goodness! I've got to be soo soo good at drinking lots so I don't get to that point again, it was no fun! I'm just glad it wasn't anything major and that my baby was/is okay!

Well...that's really about it. Maybe something exciting will happen around here soon for me to post about! Cross your fingers!!
