Well..Jess WASN'T feeling better after all...

She was very excited for the 100th day and got up and got ready to go to school but didn't make it out the door. She started crying again that her stomach hurt so she went back to bed. She said her stomach hurt all day but never threw up again...although her temp remained at a steady 100.4. Friday morning at 5:30 she came and woke me up and said she couldn't' sleep cause her stomach and head hurt so bad. I got her some Tylenol and a drink and she went back to bed. About 8:45 she came in again saying it still hurt and it hurt really bad. By that point I was completely puzzled and decided to call the doctor. We sent up an appointment for 10:45. I tried to encourage her to eat a saltine cracker thinking her stomach might hurt a little from not having any food in her system since she'd hardly eaten anything for 3 days. As she sat down at the table to eat the cracker she just looked awful and within seconds ran for the bathroom and got sick again. I was glad at that point that we had already made a doctor's appointment.

So we got to the doctor and they checked her for strep, the flu and a UTI...all came back negative. So then they did blood work, everything came back fine so they just said it was a virus and sent us home. We got home about 1;30 and about 2:00 my mother in law asked if they pushed on her belly or anything or in anyway ruled out appendicitis...so I went and pushed on her belly and asked where it hurt. Of course it right below the belly button and stretched from hip bone to hip bone so I called the doc back and left a message for her. At 4:00 they called back and said they wanted us to go to the ER for an ultrasound to make sure that wasn't what it was. So needless to say ER trips aren't ever "in and out" we sat in the ER from 4:15 to 9:15. They gave her zofran, the same meds they gave me for morning sickness. Within about 30 minutes she was feeling great and ready to eat! They also gave her this stuff to make her insides glow for a CAT Scan. So they did that and found nothing. By this point she was STARVING! They gave her a popsicle and a bag of IV fluids and at 9:30 discharged us telling us it was probably just a bug and she's not contagious and sent us home with a few zofran pills!

The doctor said it was okay for her to eat a plain turkey and black olive sandwich so we stopped and got her one on our way home. She ate about 3/4 of that and then went to bed. She slept until 9:45 this morning and woke up feeling pretty good. She's eating a pedialyte popsicle this morning and she's excited to go to the baby shower this afternoon so I'm crossing my fingers she's on the mend! (for real this time)

Kevin bought the kids their first authentic Cardinals outfits

Jessica is back to normal!

She hasn't thrown up since last night around 8:30 and she hasn't had a fever all day! We've gone with pretty bland foods all day but she's done great. I'm hoping we just had a mild case of a 24 hour bug and it's gone now! She's excited to go to school tomorrow to celebrate the 100th day of school!

A few special "Thank You's" for my Aunt Kelly and for my friend Chelsea

The very first shower gift we received were these beautiful hand-made burp cloths from my Aunt Kelly. I meant to post a picture of them when we got them and my card reader on my computer wasn't working at the time. She did such a good job on them, kinda makes me all excited to get vomited on! Just kidding, they are cute but I don't think anything could make me excited for that! I love that these are blue and brown and match his room! Thank you Kelly!!!!

Another "Thank You" to my friend Chelsea! She has passed on a ton of clothes for Jett from her son (here's a picture of Jett's closet...90% of those clothes are from Chelsea!)

She has also bought him these cute picture frames and this really cute soft blanket, I'm loving the blue and brown again!

Jessica is sick again!

Kevin and I went to the program at Jessica's school this afternoon and the teacher came over to talk to us and asked us if we were there because Jess's stomach had been hurting? I said no, I didn't know anything about it. Then about 30 minutes later Jess looks over at me during the program and mouths "My stomach hurts" I got up and went over there to tell the teacher I was taking her to the bathroom and by the time we could get out of the lunch area she was throwing up! Poor little thing. She's soaking in the bathtub now and then I'm going to get her pjs on her and turn on a movie and tuck her into bed. Poor little girl, she asked Kevin if she was still going to be able to go to the shower on Saturday since she got sick. I think that is the reason she didn't want to come home earlier in the day when she went to the nurse!

30 WEEKS!!! That 'sounds' like we are so close to the end of the pregnancy!!

I know we still have about a 10 week or so wait, but just hitting that mark gave me a little boost of energy! It sounds SO much closer to his arrival date!

Click here, here and here to see what he's up to this week.

I'm doing well, starting to get really uncomfortable and I'm ready for Jett to get here. I am not getting much sleep at night and have found out that I am one of the lucky 1 in 35 that gets to experience SDP, click here to read about it. So far mine isn't too unbearable except at night when I'm trying to move positions or when I first get up from a sitting position.

I'm very anxious for my shower on Saturday and we have already received a few gifts in the mail. I posted the pictures of the gifts from my friend Jen, and then yesterday we got a gift from my grandma Betty. She sent us a portable high chair we registered for! Thanks Betty!

Weekend:

Well Friday night I was on my own, Kevin was in Chicago and Jess was gone for the weekend. I decided to spend the evening by shopping at all my favorite stores! I went to Kirkland's, Tuesday Morning and Marshall's. Then I got Panda Express for my dinner and stuffed myself silly. Then I spent the rest of the evening rearranging all our knick knacks and making room for a few new purchases that I found and cleaning the house. I have to say that I think our house feels much more welcoming now. My favorite purchase are the red silk curtains I got for the living room, they add so much color and brightness to the room and pull it all together. I'll try and get pictures posted this afternoon.



Saturday, Randy, Jason and a friend of theirs came out to continue work on the basement! They got almost all the drywall put up and it looks great! I'm so excited to get it all put together when it's finished!

I hope everyone else had a great weekend!
