The Bug.

I am now recovering from the stomach flu. Ugg...Awful awful thing. I called in sick Thursday due to some pregnancy related stuff, and returned on Friday. I made it about halfway to work and my car decided to break down. I pull off to the side of the freeway, luckly for me it was early enough that traffic wasn't bad and I didn't get in a wreck trying to manuvre off so quickly. A CHP tow truck driver pulled off about 10 seconds after me and tried to assist me. He couldn't really do much so he just waited with me until Matt could meet up and help me out. My car was overheating really bad and was beeping and flashing at me. We suspect it's the thermastat. 

In anycase we switched cars and off to work I went. He was left trying to figure out how to get my POS home, which he did. What would I do without him? :-)

Midway through the day, a little after lunch time I started feeling really sick. I tried to take a break and wade it out, but that did not help. So I went home. On my way home, in Matt's car, one of my worst fears came to life. Getting sick in the car, while you're driving on the freeway, without a baggie or any such container. I reached for the window control, but not being used to driving the BMW I reached the wrong direction. Mine is on the door, his the center console. So I preceeded to yack all over Matt's pretty blue 540. Then I got stuck in traffic. Need I say more...He cleaned up the car when I got home because all I could do was lump myself on the couch and sleep and barf. Did I already say that I love this man???

Friday is one I'd like to erase from memory.

I feel better today, two days later. Still pretty tired. Baby is kicking more then ever, I called the nurse just to make sure she'd be okay. Yup, she's fine all snug in my tum tum. I did notice today that my stomach has taken on a new appearence. It has dropped somewhat, which is pretty early to do so (I'm 7 months). Matt even noticed the diff. So I called Kaiser again. After letting the nurse know that I've had no cramping or other gross stuff I won't go into that is a sign for preterm labor, she informed me I was fine. If any changes do occur then I should call. I told Matt that the worst part about this all, is that the worrying has just begun...it's only going to get worse once she's here.
