Almost 37 weeks

Well, I missed the Astros game due to some crazy ass upper respiratory infection that the dirty kids from school gave me and have been crazy sick. Onion to the rescue again and another z pac. I have been really trying to take care of myself but it is becoming more difficult. Please if you are reading this and have children LISTEN. If your children are sick, keep them home. I know it might be an inconvienence but it is your job as a parent. When you send your sick kids to school they get lots of other kids and teachers sick.
I went to my weekly check up on Tuesday after a grueling day of teaching while sick. Rushed up to Clear Lake ust in time to find out that my doctor wasn't there. She was at the hospital, I would have to see a nurse or PA. Which under normal circumstances would be OK but my doc has been monitoring my fluid since 34 weeks and goes the extra mile. Not to mention this close to delivery, I want consistency. I got lucky. She came back just in time for me to see her. I had already waited a LONG time and was missing my girl. I knew I was late for dinner with David's parents. Check up went well. Measuring a week ahead of schedule, heart beat sounds good. And then the ultrasound showed my fluid had dropped from a 10 to a 5.4. I was put in hospital to amp up my fluids with IV. I got really nervous and emotional. Scared. David came to stay with me and mom took elle. I wanted to hug on my baby. Good news is the ultrasound showed my fluid is back up!!! Home bound!! Bed bound. Discharge papers say bed rest, minimal walking, may shower, lots and lots of water. It is really hard to do bed rest with a 2 year old and 40 million things to do. But that is what must be done. I want Lily as happy and healthy as possible! Not too much longer but hopefully closer to 38 weeks.
Got to go drown myself with fluids. Say a prayer for a happy, healthy end to this pregnancy!
