Unexpected Trip to the Doctors

Well we ended up at the Dr yesterday because I have been so sick lately and throwing up they wanted to check and make sure everything was ok - I ended up losing 3 pounds in a week. They decided to give me some Phenergan which is a med they give for nausea. However the drug made me feel VERY drugged and I was slurring my speech and I couldnt stay awake hardly. It also made me VERY restless - to the point I wanted to cry. I only took two of the doses yesterday and besides all I slept yesterday, I just woke up now (it's 1pm) from going to bed last night at 10:30. I couldnt fall asleep at first and Jon stayed up rubbing my legs trying to get me to fall asleep. I think I finally fell asleep around 12 or so when I started to feel a little less restless. Anyway... Wednesday night I had started getting contractions a LOT and they think it was because I really over-did myself that day. First of all I didnt get any sleep tuesday night and then worked all day Wednesday, went to a head Dr
appt after work, stopped to get dinner and then went to lamaze class. We did a lot of walking around at Lamaze and stuff too (touring the labor and delivery ward) and the Dr was pretty sure I just should have taken it easy. So she gave me the meds and the direct order to "go home and lay down and relax for the next couple days." Needless to say, I'm not at work today and, because of the holiday (Memorial Day), I dont have to work again until Wednesday.... so I get myself a mini vacation! :) Very exciting for me... but I'm not really allowed to be doing any housework or anything -so I feel helpless... we still have our appt next week for an ultrasound to check baby's position and then seeing the Dr again.

We'll see how things go!
