WARNING IT'S A LONG ONE!

Okay so I know that the past couple days when people ask me how I am doing I have responded with "I'm so ready to be done"! Really I am feeling fine just the usual tired, moody (that one is for j) and I just don't wanna be huge anymore. All selfish reasons I KNOW! So yesterday I was taught my lesson...I woke up fine in the morning got paris dressed and we headed out to the salon! Mara came and we were doing her hair ALL was GOOD then halfway thru my back was KILLING me! I have had problems with pinched nerves and what not and figured it was that. I finish doing hair, we went home and it starts to get a bit worse so I figure I will lie down try and sleep off the pain. For the life of me I could not get comfortable, so I had paris call her daddy to hurry home. I am sure there are plenty of people out there who have high tolerance for pain, I happen to be one of those people. (example:) the day I went into to labor with paris, FULL on contractions, I was still trying to get ready and go in for work. My dad didn't like that idea and called faith over who just 7 weeks before had jonah and she wasn't having anything other than taking me to the hospital! I told her and kept telling myself these aren't that bad I can still talk thru em, they MUST get worse! not to mention almost 2 months early I was in complete denial this could be real! So I don't want to go the hospital and look like this sissy and over re act so just take me to the doctor first. Well I saw that doctor and I was at a 7 and FULLY effaced! If I wanted to attempt an epidural I would have to be in the delivery room in less than 30 min.!
So now this pain in my back has brought me to tears which meant the pain was getting pretty good! So I call my sister to call her "nurse" friend but she was gone, so I called Justin's sister who is a nurse, and txt Annie (who just went thru all this) and got all their thoughts and opinions which all were about the same! DANG IT! But I STILL didn't want to go and sit at the hospital so I took some Tylenol and a warm bath in hopes that would help! NO SUCH LUCK, I guess I have waited long enough, (8 hours at this point of killer back pain) I will go to the dang hospital! Ironically all this happened on the first day of Justin's softball league starting. (he's pretty sure I planned it) He debated to go or not (earlier) and when it finally looked like he wasn't going to make the game, he told me we were defiantly going to the hospital now, he wasn't missing that game for nothing! (paris by the way was so excited for me to go to the hospital, she didn't get why nor was it something cute like she thought she was going to get "her baby", but that she was bored and so badly wanted to go to grandpa's) WHERE IS THE LOVE! ; )
We get to the hospital and they hook me up, take some tests and with in 30 min of being there I had had 5 CONTRACTIONS every 5 MIN and they were lasting for 60 seconds each and I was a little dilated! I WAS IN LABOR FOLKS!
What is it that at 30 weeks my kids want out!?! It has to be they hear how fun I am and must be so excited to come out and see me! Ha Not this lil guy the way I have been moody with this one he hears too much and would NEVER come out! ; )
So they shoot me up with a shot every 30 min for the next hour in a half, take more tests and keep me monitored. Contractions start to slow and finally stop and just 5 hours later they let me go home at 1 in the morning! The back pain STILL hasn't stopped which is caused by an infection in my kidneys! Paris might have been a preemie but the pregnancy was a breeze, THIS LITTLE GUY...I am afraid to take anymore tests for fear there is going to be MORE wrong, cuz just about every other has been!
LESSON OF THE WEEK...DON'T COMPLAIN, BE HAPPY HE IS STILL IN THERE, IT WILL BE OVER SOON ENOUGH!

Sara, that's scary. I'm glad your contractions stopped. Take it easy and if your hurting....go to the hospital for heaven's sake!! We're thinking about you.

Kim said...

So glad they got the contractions stopped. Take it easy and I hope you're feeling better!

Ditto all of the above. So glad you are doing better.

You are a tough cookie!

Mara said...

umm, I had been talking to you since so I didn't think to send the get well, take it easy comment! But I feel left out... soo ditto to the above!

Rhonda said...

Oh Sara! We are so much a like! Good to hear that everythings ok now! I went to the hospital last week cause of contractions and by the time I got there they stopped. I was so pissed off. If I'm gonna leave work, it'd better be for real. haha My preganacy with Yazee was just like yours, well kind-of. I was in full blown labor with her @ 30 weeks and had no idea. Dang high pain tolerence! Well, anyway, hope he's behaving now. We really don't have that much farther to go. We should get together when they are here! I miss you.
