Feeling better.

Oh how i hate that i always take my health for granted. It takes me getting sick to realize how much i love being healthy. This week i got a nasty GI bug, thank heavens it was only 24 hours! It was bad enough that it caused a night in the ER. I was loosing my liquids faster then i could drink them. Causing me to get dehydrated quickly. Dave and I had quite the reality check when we went into the hospital and they gave us our own delivery suite.We are gonna be there sooner then we think. I was hooked upto an IV for about 5 hours. It was really neat when they hooked me up to check the baby’s heartbeat and to see if i was having any contractions. He was the most active he’s ever been and he kept disrupting the heartbeat. I finally had dave come put his hand on my stomach to feel how active he was, Dave was all smiles as he felt either a hand or foot go across my stomach.  We had the nicest nurse, she offered to let us sleep all night in the suite if we wanted too, and she would just give me a 3rd bag of fluids. I have a hard enough time sleeping that i just wanted my own bed. We were glad that Dave’s boss (my dad) allowed him to have the next day off to help take care of me. I am now feeling better and it makes me realize that i need to enjoy being healthy more.
