Yesterday was fun... Totem and I ended up going to the hospital at 5AM. :\ Everything is OK now and nothing was ever wrong with the baby (the hospital confirmed it). Totem got dehydrated again... Midnight came around on Wednesday evening and Totem went running to the bathroom. Lets just say her stomach was empty after one trip. But the problem was that at 1AM, 2AM, 3AM, and 4AM, literally like clockwork hour after hour, she was out of the bed running to the bathroom... We called the doctor and he recommended we goto the hospital to make sure everything was all right... фигурки аниме - для любителей аниме искусства
Now before anyone jumps, this was not morning sickness. A.) We are 5 months along and morning sickness stops after three. B.) Totem was a lucky one and never got morning sickness...
So I make the calls to work and her work saying we won't be in on time, and we head to the hospital. 5AM and 6AM pass in the waiting room, but with each hour, she got rid of whatever stomach acid she had left... When they go her in the room, first thing was a sonogram, and Alex was OK. Still moving and kicking and heart beating (HE WAS SUCKING HIS THUMB =)). Then to Totem, they gave her a saline and sugar solution and some medicine to keep the nausea under control. A couple of hours later, they tried seeing if she could keep some fluids down, nope. Some blood work and fluid tests later, the doctors comfirmed from her "levels" that she was dehydrated. Another liter of IV fluid and she was still not able to keep stuff down... It wasn't until 12:30PM that she started to turn around, with tests coming back OK and she being able to keep liquid down. We ended up leaving at 1:15PM. 5AM to 1:15PM. Oh yeah, fun time...
We got home and Totem went right to bed, I stayed up to watch a moving. After the moving was done, and in comes the relaxing from the title, I went to take a nap with Totem who was still sleeping. Then my alarm goes off... It was the next morning!!! ;) I feel asleep at 6PM and work up agt 8AM the next day... Wow... I do feel really good though. =)
If anything funny is to come out of this, it was the discharge papers. You know the things that have a brakdown of all the stuff they found out about you? Lik a list of the sicknesses, how it is caused, and how to treat it... Well, she is obviously pregnant, and they included that on these sheets. One of the sections, in BIG BOLD LETTERS, it said, "What causes pregnancy?" Needless to say, I burst out laughing. How do you get a cold? How do you get the flu? Do do you become dehydrated? How do you get pregnant? Priceless. =)

Oh I'm glad that everyone is ok!! My best friend Jeni is pregnant and was just in the hospital for the same thing. She's 8 1/2 months along, with baby Bobby. Water is good, drink lots!
