This week was our first week full week of homeschooling. We are currently only on day two instead of day four.
Monday went well. I was excited to start the week off strong! Then Monday night hit... The Hubs and I ended up in the hospital due to contractions and severe back pain located on the right side. I have felt this entire pregnancy that Baby Snowman was going to come early, but we are still three weeks away from full term! He needs to stay a little bit longer.
After tons of questions, poking, prodding, and monitoring Baby Snowman, they finally ruled out any infections. I was told I mostly likely had a kidney stone, but without a scan they couldn't know for sure. Now they wont do a scan because I am pregnant and it's not an emergency and I wouldn't have wanted them to anyway. That is way too much radiation for a baby to go through unless absolutely necessary.
They shot me in the bum with morphine, hoping to take the pain down to a bearable level and stop the contractions. That shot was painful! It was up high close to the hip bone. I told The Hubs on Tuesday, "That morphine kicked my butt... Ha! Which is funny, because that's where the shot was!"
Slowly the pain started fading and the contractions slowed, ultimately stopping. My eyes drooped closed as the morphine kicked in and I was finally able to relax after so much pain. The hubs had to help me up and the nurses helped me into a wheelchair. I was so dizzy.
The elevator down made my head spin and I tried to focus on what the nurses were saying instead of the unsettling feeling rolling around my stomach. The Hubs rolled up in the car, I was helped into the passenger seat and we were headed back home! Of course we barely made it out of the parking lot before I told him to pull over to I could empty my belly full of water... twice...
It was after 1am before I was back at home in my own bed and fell into a very deep sleep until about 6am when my overfull bladder forced me out of bed. Tuesday was spent with me sleeping pretty much the entire day, only waking to use the bathroom, drink more, or eat.
We also had my 34 week check up which went well. Baby Snowman is doing great, heart is strong, and he is measuring well. Yay!
Yesterday was more recovering and a terrifying moment thinking the pain was coming back last night. Then ZABs was up all night with a cold and cough...
We are trudging through and our lessons today are still happening... just slowly and out of order, but that is alright. That is the beauty of educating from home. We can take it at our own speed, take breaks when we need, and if necessary--skip a day here or there. One of the highlights of this weeks schooling has been our letter puppets!
A for Alligator!
B for Beaver!
We've been doing a lot of assessments determining where Munchkin is at so having fun activities to break up the major brain overload is fantastic! Super speed is another highlight! Check back to learn what that is!
