Jinxed

I really think I jinxed myself this week.  We found a coupon for Babies R Us that was only good this week so we went and bought a new carseat for Benjamin.  Our old infant seat was expired so we threw it away about a year ago.  Jeff didn't want to buy a new carseat until right before we had the baby...he even talked about buying it while I was in the hospital!  We bought it on Wednesday.  I ended up in the hospital Thursday!!  I guess Benjamin thought it was time to come because we now had a carseat for him so we could bring him home with us!!  I actually got a really bad stomach flu on Wednesday night and couldn't keep anything down all day Thursday.  The doctor's office wanted me to go in and get IV Hydration at the hospital because my countractions were also 3-5 minutes apart for about two hours.  I wasn't really worried because I could feel Benjamin moving and knew that I was most likely dehydrated which would make me have contractions.  Jeff came home from work a little early and took me to the hospital with the kids.  After walking around the hospital for 3 hours with the kids, I finally told him to go home and I would call him when they discharged me!  I ended up being there for 5 hours but they were able to put 2 IV bags in me and get my contractions to stop (after a little medication to help with the contractions).  I must say that they really need more comfortable beds in the Labor and Delivery Triage room!!  I felt lots better after getting a little liquid in me.  The worst part was when the nurse was putting in my IV she commented that she hates putting IVs in from that angle because it makes it really hard...not what you want to be hearing from someone who is putting  a needle in your arm!  Needless to say my hand hurt really bad all night and I am shocked there isn't a visible bruise on it.  Let's hope I don't have that same nurse when I go to deliver Benjamin!!!!!  Thankfully everything has been okay since I went to the hospital.  I went to the doctor's office today and they checked my amniotic fluid and it all looked okay.  It had only gone down 1 cm in the last week which they say was good since I had been so sick.  I was also still a little dehydrated so they just told me to keep drinking as much as I can.  I am so thankful that everything is okay with Benjamin and I have been able to keep everything down today!!  Let's hope this is the last sickness I have to endure with this pregnancy......
