Here We Go... Not! (Day 65)

Last night was another one of those doozies. I was on the phone with my friend, Jeanne when I all of a sudden felt awful-- clammy, sweaty, a pounding headache, pain ramping up on my right side and some gushing. I didn't want to alarm her, so I pushed my nurse call button and got off the phone. By the time the nurse got in here, I was in so much pain I couldn't even get up out of bed for the bathroom. I reached another new level of low (in the humiliation department) when the nurse had to help me in the bathroom. Okay, enough of that. I was on monitors for nearly 3 hours (fun) and was having some pretty regular contractions and constant pain. Of course, after a long, long night and Byron ready to come in at any minute-- I've settled down. I'm still having "some action" as far as irritation in my uterus and contractions-- but nothing compared to last night. And thankfully, the severe pain is gone.
No one knows what that was all about. Dr. Lovelace thought it was an infection coming on-- but since I'm in no pain today-- he now thinks the baby was putting some pressure on my uterine wall. For the amount of pain I was in, Spartacus must be the strongest baby in the world! Good for him.
My mom had a fabulous time at her 50th high school reunion last night. She's going to a gathering/picnic this afternoon. Greer is home sick from church-- she vomited on and off yesterday. But is fine today. I'm guessing Byron and the girls won't be up for their regular Sunday visit because of that. What a bummer.
