I had a pretty bad day yesterday. We had purchased a brand new washer and dryer set at Sears before Black Friday during a really good deal. Well, it just finally came in last week and DH picked it up yesterday. As he was installing, he realized he forgot a new gas line connector. With everyone here sick, I was dying to get out of the house (plus I had a 20% off coupon for Big Lots), so I headed out the door, walked over to my van and slipped on the ice. My feet went out from under me and I landed on my tailbone (and somehow UNDER the van
). Finally was able to pull my huge butt up and get my cell phone to have DH come out and help me (after him ignoring 5 minutes of horn honking
). I brushed myself off and didn't feel too bad, so I got in the car and went to Sears. When I got to Big Lots, my back started hurting more and for the first time in a long time, I was actually waddling again.
I had called my mom (who was visiting my stepbro an hour away) who continued to freak out and tell me to call someone. When I was in the checkout line, I had my first good contraction. Had another 20 minutes later after I got home. My back was hurting pretty bad, so I came online to research. It said call OB, so I called L&D at the hospital, knowing that my doc was on call. They gave me her answering service and she called back and told me being so far along, I could have ripped or torn the placenta and if our blood mixed, it wouldn't be good. So, I went up to the hospital. They got me on the monitors and drew my blood....and I waited...and waited. I was actually having contractions for the 1st 2 hours, pretty steady. They assumed that I was going into/in labor. Then, nothing.....they just disappeared for a while. Finally, my doctor came to see me and told me to just go home. They are supposed to call me with the results of the blood work today. She knew I had already been there 4 hours (4 hours!
) and had only eaten a bag of chips since noon (it was now 9PM).
I am pretty sore today. Hurts to stand up and walk. And my cold is now full force.....
Ok, enough whining! Hope everyone else is feeling good!
Gallstones are the worst!! I had them right after Mikalah was born. They say it is really common to get during pregnancy, and right after. Make sure you dont eat anything greasy!!! Also... I have heard that lemonade can help durng an attack. 
this has to be a first! I wanted to get checked!!! DH and I were debating on his attending a funeral 5 hours away tomorrow - I said go, he said no. 
Yay for another girl! 
. If only it were that easy.
