The joys of being pregnant....

My sister-in-law gave me a pregnancy calendar. It is actually quite hilarious. It has quotes in it that say, "Pregnancy is the happiest reason ever for feeling like crap."  Those words are too true. I had a lovely visit to the ER yesterday. I was dehydrated bad enough I couldn't stand without coming close enough to pass out. I promise I drink water 10 times a day, but yesterday it wasn't enough. I also have had an infection for a while with absolutely no symptoms of one. The doctors couldn't figure it out. Because I was dehydrated, I had to have an IV. Have I mentioned how much needles freak me out? The nurse was very nice, but it still hurt like crazy.

I got to see the baby again. The doctor wanted to make sure the baby was doing OK. She was actually amazed because my baby posed perfectly for it. She couldn't stop staring at the screen. She was in the middle of showing me when the battery died. When they finally got the machine plugged in, the baby had moved and was no longer posing amazingly perfect. After that the baby wouldn't hold still for anything. It was kinda funny. It made it an interesting ER visit and the horrid IV worth it.
