Dad's still in the hospital. They are having a hard time adjusting his medication. They are being extra careful with him.

My plan is to drop off the kids at daycare, work for a few hours, then head to Louisville to be with dad. His surgery will probably be this afternoon sometime.

Setting the Record Straight

I have been hearing some inaccuracies in what people have been saying about this pregnancy and below is to set the record straight. Yes, it has been a completely different pregnancy this time, but really all in all I know lots of people who have it worse. I have had no morning sickness and very lucky to have such wonderful summer weather (it could have been so much hotter).

Here is my hospital visits for this pregnancy and the results

• 18 Weeks - Errupted Vericose Vein in my Uterus. Potentially serious, but since my bleeding stopped immediately I have had no further complications. I was restricted from work for one week and then back to my regular routine.
• 34 Weeks - Had the flu and went in for IVs/fluids. Once I was given some anti-nausea meds the whole world was a nicer place. I was in over night because the dehydration was causing some minor contractions. Really this was not a big deal.
• 36 Weeks - We were only at the hospital a few hours and sent home for false labor. Better safe than sorry they said. It was interesting because the power went out while we were there and got to drive home during the big "ike storm of Cincinnati."

So, really all of these visits ended in the baby and me being just fine. No worries everyone.

Mom's hospital trip

My mom was taken to the hospital last night. We don't know if she had a minor stroke or what is wrong. She was a little loopy and didn't really know what was going on. She started by saying where had my dad been all day when he was at home and then didn't know who he was. I talked to her this morning and she said her blood pressure had sky rocketed and they may have caused it or what. She is still in the hospital, but lucid today and will hopefully be going home soon. I will keep you all posted.

Keep my mom in your prayers.
