Ups and Downs

I'm glad to say I'm feeling much better today.  Friday after work I was hit with a flu/bug/tired sickness not exactly sure what it was but it had me in bed or in the bathroom until this morning.  I haven't had much to eat today but I'm starting to feel better so hopefully I'm on the mend.  There were times yesterday that we thought about going to the hospital.  I was having contractions 5-15 minutes apart but they were lasting 4-5 minutes.  We called labor and delivery and they said true contractions would last that long so I needed to be drinking more water.  I think it was dehydration but it had me worried about my little one.  Last night I almost thought I'd passed it along to Stephen, I was laying on the couch watching TV because I couldn't sleep and he came out to check on me then passed out on the way back to bed.  I didn't even hear him pass out but he came crawling to the living room and told me he wasn't feeling well.  I felt so bad I couldn't even take care of him.  He seems to be doing fine today though... it's not good to have both of us sick at the same time.  

Earlier this week I was really on a nesting kick.  I had Monday off (Thank you Martin Luther King) and was able to get the nursery mostly done as well as exchange some things around town.  It was a really productive day and made me feel good.  

Also, we are scheduled for a c-section next Monday.  February 4th is the big day!  Hopefully he'll turn and come on his own time but I'm thinking it's not likely.  I can still feel his head up by my ribs.  It's nice to have a date to expect him though.  I know my last day of work and can plan better that way - unless of course he doesn't agree with the plan.
