Let's see, the middle of the week was pretty boring, but it got good on Friday when I went in for my usual NST. This was 10:30am and the last time I ate was 9:00am that morning!! As I was laying there, after 3 hours of waiting mind you, the monitor began to pick up the fact that I was contracting 2-3 minutes and then 3-4 minutes apart. I was starving, so they brought me some granola bars. They weren't painful, but I could definitely feel them. They kept me on the monitor, had me lay on my side, and they slowed a little, to about 6-8 minutes apart, but were getting strong and really uncomfortable. Unfortunately, I was the most stable patient in the L&D triage and it was a VERY busy day, so everything they planned to do was taking forever. My doctor was not on call, so Dr. Dan (Dr. Dave's brother) was the one the nurses were calling. He ordered a bunch of labs, swabs, and even a catheter to take my urine (YAY for that!) to see what was causing these contractions. The nurse checked me and I was not dilating or anything. They also gave me an IV of fluids. This was at about 7:00pm and Jeff had just arrived. I was SO hungry, and now, they weren't letting me eat. When the lab results came back, they concluded I had a yeast infection and bacterial infection they assumed were causing the contractions. But, they still had to get the contractions to stop before I could leave...So I got a shot of terbutaline, and laid on my side feeling like I was on crack until about 10:30pm (STILL had not eaten). The nurse called in the perscription the Dr. ordered and of course the ONLY 24 hour CVS pharmacy in the area was way over on Fresno and Shaw!! So Jeff and I decided to get food, go home and get into one car, then head over. When we got there, I felt like I was in Tiajuana...that was the most disgusting CVS I have ever seen!!! On top of that, the pharmacist had not checked his voicemails, so the perscription was not even ready!! So we walked around the store trying not to touch anything and waited for the meds. We got home around 12:00am and I crashed out big time!
The next morning, my mom, Chris, Logan, Moms and Pops, Nana and Papa, Jeff and I all went to breakfast at BS Coffee shop, it was delicious, but I was soooo exhausted! After shopping with my mom and Nana for a little bit, I decided it was probably best if I went home and rested. Later that night, we went to Cattlemen's for my birthday, which was really nice! Sunday was Harper's birthday party and that was really fun. I can't believe how big he has gotten!! After the party we came home and did chores, finished hanging stuff in the nursery, and then relaxed for the evening. It was a good, yet crazy weekend!!
So today, I am 34 weeks and it is also my birthday! Wednesday is my last day of work and I am so looking forward to just being DONE working and just focus on getting this little guy here!! Until next time!
