Well, I am finally feeling among the living again! I woke up at 4am Sunday morning vomiting and continued to vomit and have diarreah (yeah, TMI, sorry!) pretty much all day Sunday, as well as a low grade fever. I had a scheduled dr. appointment today anyway so since I called in sick, I was able to move my appointment up to 10am instead of 2:45. I was just concerned that everything was ok but it all checked out fine! I lost 3 lbs since last Monday but baby is measuring just fine. They went ahead and hooked me up to the fetal monitor to evaluate the heartbeat. Her heartbeat is just fine! I felt lots of movement in that time, too. It also monitors contractions and apparently I had 2 while I was on it! I had no idea...meaning that nothing is going on. My dr. will check me next week to see if I'm dilated, etc.
I plan to go to work tomorrow (heading to bed as soon as I finish this post!). No more nausea, just a little tired and weak but I've been able to actually eat a little, though not much of an appetite. I am taking the afternoon off Tuesday for my sister to come up and help me work on painting/decorating in the nursery and it should be ready to go!
Also, come to find out, there were about 15-20 people from Fairview (my 2nd school) that had flu-like symptoms and we had a luncheon there last Thursday so we might have all had food poisoning! I am not sure how long it takes for symptoms to occur, etc, but it is definitely a coincidence that a bunch of us were sick!
I will say that being able to rest and be off my feet for a full 2 days was awesome! My ankles were swollen Saturday night and no swelling right now!! Whohoo! I know it'll come back but at least I'm going to work 1/2 days soon so hopefully that will help. I even noticed that my spider veins were way less noticable! Dang teaching! :)
