False Alarm

Here's the final skinny from my 7 or so hours at the hospital.  Last night I got a horrible headache. I mean HORRIBLE.  I couldn't shut my eyes because i would get dizzy, nausea, couldn't get comfy.  Clint rubbed some back relief gel on me to see if that would help.  Needless to say I didn't get much sleep, and I cried a lot.  Clint could tell that something was wrong, because I've never acted like this as a result of a headache.  I came downstairs at 3 or so to try and sleep on the couch.  Not much luck there either.  My alarm went off at 6, and I began to get ready for work.  Clint wanted me to stay home, but once it's 6, we can't call in.   I got ahold of my car pool person, and she agreed to drive since I wasn't feeling well at all.

I got to school, got my kiddos started on their monthly benchmark test and called my OB.  I explained all the symptoms, and then they started asking me questions.  All of which I was able to answer "YES" The nurse promptly told me that I could be in labor and to head towards the hospital.  I called Clint, who quickly got my hospital bag packed, and then drove to the school to get me.  From there we went straight to the hospital.

Like last time, they hooked me up to the machine that monitors the heartbeat of the baby, and contractions.  I was having contractions every so often, however not hardcore ones.  After lying there for a few hours, they decided to give me a shot of pain meds to help with the headache and back pain.  They also took some blood to run some tests. I feel asleep for a little while, when I woke up the pain from my headache had gone from a 7 or 8 to a 3 or 4.  Still not gone.  The doctor decided to have an MRI done to make sure there wasn't anything wrong with my brain.  MRI and blood work came back clean, so they let me come home.

Needless to say, my headache is still ever so present.  I'm super hungry because I've only had my breakfast which was cereal.  So I'm going to just relax and see about school tomorrow.

So, still no baby.  Hopefully soon though!
