Our little one...and me.

So I can tell you a few things that really aren't attractive, hospital gowns for pregnant ladies, IV bags, and being so tired that you fall asleep in any position and drool on yourself.  I mean I suppose some people might not mind these things I on the other hand  don't care for them at all.

Last night I was feeling really off and called my Dr. and he had me go to the hospital to get checked out, I am 35 weeks now and having some odd problems. Looks like pre-eclampsia but isn't. Well last night it sure wasn't PRE-E. I had blood work done and my potassium was way too low, which was entirely unexpected.  The dr. was confused and very worried about my heart.( I am a very heathly young woman.) I am not on any meds that should cause it and I hadn't been vommiting at all. So there is no logical medical reason they could find.

They gave me an entire bag of IV potassium, which took forever... not kidding we started at maybe 11:30 pm and by 11 am I was almost done. Boy it sure burned a bit.

But now I am home safe blood tests came back fine at mid-day so, I am on a banana with every meal diet, on strict bed rest and  trying to listen as best I can.

So I will be resting but will be back to posting after baby  arrives.

Happy New Year!!!
