no fun sunday

I spent my sunday morning in the hospital. No fun at all. I started cramping on Friday night and it lasted on and off through the day Saturday. And on top of that, I was exhausted. I don't think I moved from the couch unless it was to go get in the bed! I have felt so fabulous up until this point so I kinda felt like something wasn't just right. I drank lots of water, took a benadryl and went to bed. But I woke up this morning with more cramps. So against my will, we decided it would be best for me and Jones to get everything checked out. Off we went to the hospital.

I was having small contractions, but was not dialated - thank goodness! I can't imagine. I couldn't even believe they were checking. I guess I was in denial. Anyway, it ended up that I have a UTI, which was causing the contrations. I am on antibiotics and am drinking even more water than I was before. I am going to float away. So happy that was all it was; I was a little nervous when they 1) said I was contracting and 2) checked to see if I was dialated. Little man must stay put for a little while longer. And it seems he is doing just that. Jones looked perfect - Thank God!

But I had to miss church and a baby shower for a friend this afternoon. Sad.

On a different note: I am subbing again this week. Yippee! I really like it. Yes, I know that is strange.

My camera is dead. I thought it could be fixed, but it can't. So as soon as I can, I will post pictures of Jones' nursery. We are far from finished, but we have at least started. My mom is coming down in a couple of weeks to help with the curtains and organizing. We still have to refinish the buffet/changing table and I am waiting for my chair to come in.

Happy first week of February to you all.
