Drama Queen

Lily decided to turn up the drama...or maybe it was her mama. Monday night, I got on my back to look under the kitchen sink (faucet was broken and I had researched online how to change it out and was attempting to surprise Jonathan with my handiness before he got home). When I sat up, I was a little disoriented. Ace chose that moment to need the bathroom so I ran upstairs to help him and got so dizzy that I had to lay down. I couldn't move my head without feeling REALLY naseous. Since I've never felt anything like that before and it wasn't going away I called Jonathan to come home. He brought me my iPhone and I did some research when said dizzyness is common and gave some tips. After an hour, I could at least sit up and go downstairs. Jonathan let me lay down the rest of the night.

I already had a doctor's appointment scheduled for Tuesday morning. Tues, I was still a little shaky and Ace was hyper. We went to the doctor's office and she suggested I go over to the hospital with a Labor and Delivery department for some tests. Aunt Hilary took one for the team and took Ace for me while I went to Willowbrook Methodist. Jonathan's office let him come home to take care of Ace.

Got there, gave blood, ultrasound of Lily looked perfect, ultrasound of heart appeared normal, some monitoring of my belly was normal except they hadn't given me anything to eat from 11:30 to 4pm which brought on some benign contractions. Doctor wanted 23 hour hospital observation but this hormonal mama had had enough and just wanted to go home. After some tears and sniffling, they discharged me. I felt MUCH better being back in my own bed and being around Ace and Jonathan. Family is the best medicine. Ace kept on getting in bed with me and saying, "Hi Mama. I'm doctor Ace. What's the matter?" and then he'd look in my mouth and listen to my belly.

Lily Kate was active and kicking the entire time leading me to believe I just compressed that vein by laying on my back under the kitchen sink. Don't know why the dizzyness lasted so long. Hopefully I can follow up with the doctor today.
