If you ever doubted God's ability to orchestrate your life, our weekend was a stellar example.
We had a date weekend set up for December where the boys were going to spend the weekend w/ my mom & dad while we partied down. Then the snow storm hit. So we rescheduled for this weekend. Friday to Sunday.
The boys were off friday morning. I promptly got sick. Really sick. I was up all night throwing up. By the time morning came we decided to call my OB & they said we should head to the hospital to check baby out. As it turns out, by the time I got there I was having contractions every 2-6 minutes and was SEVERLY dehydrated. So I was in the hospital for 6-8 hours or so. The contractions slowed to no more than one per half and hour & they re-hydrated me through an IV. During this time, over at my parents little Calvin was also throwing up all night w/ the same bug. Poor little kid. Oscar & Darren, thankfully have managed to stay healthy.
Everyone is beginning to doing better now. Slowly getting food back into our system & we'll pick up Calvin & Oscar later today. Mom & Dad say Calvin slept most of last night & didn't throw up at all. Same story for me.
We cannot help but thank God that the boys were not here this weekend. Darren couldn't have handled a 2 year old & 8m pregnant wife throwing up all night alone, let alone gotten me to the hospital w/ a sick kid at home. What a blessing that Calvin had two healthy grandparents to take care of him all weekend & I had a husband devoted only to me!
Thanks to all of you who were praying for us!!

WOW!!! Yay for IV's right?
Sorry it's been rough. I can empathize. Will you please let me know if I can do anything for you when Darren's gone?
Glad to hear you, baby and Calvin are going to be alright. I was feeling a bit queezy myself hearing that you weren't doing so well. Now back to that pregnancy!
