36 Weeks

Ohhhhh we are almost there! :)

 At this point in my pregnancy, I can now deliver at Valley View Medical Center. If I had to deliver any time before now, they would have sent me to St. George because it would be too early, but now I can deliver in Cedar. Speaking of Valley View Medical Center, I had a lovely trip to the hospital earlier this week…

Casey and I both got sick on Wednesday morning and for lack of better words, it kicked our ass! We both couldn't even keep water down. Well, come Wednesday afternoon I had blood in my urine (scary scary scary when you're 36 weeks pregnant) So we went to the hospital. When we first arrived they had me do a urine sample and hooked me up to the machines. They found baby Hayden's heartbeat (best sound ever) and then put a monitor on me to see if I was contracting… and sure enough I was. They think that it was "Braxton Hicks" because I couldn't feel them. Because I was contracting, they went ahead and checked my cervix, and I am still closed. FEW! Baby Hayden needs a couple more weeks to cook…. and mom and dad need a couple more weeks to prepare! Next they hooked me up to an IV because I was really dehydrated. They pumped a bunch of fluids into me along with some antibiotic and tylenol and I felt better in a hurry.. all while Casey sat right next to me.. sick as a dog.

I have to give a big shout-out to my amazing hubby. SERIOUSLY the best guy EVER! I told him that he should just stay home when I was getting ready to go to the hospital, but he still came with me even though he was super super sick. Talk about being supportive! He sat right next to me all 4 hours we were in the hospital. I know that is about the LAST place you want to be when you are sick and you are not the one being taken care of. There I was getting pumped full of fluids and Casey just sat there without a complaint. He is amazing. (and of course I had to snap a few pictures because "I can't remember anything unless I take a picture" -Casey)
