Practice Run to L & D

Tuesday night we had a practice run to L&D at St. Johns.

I had my annual "stabbing pain, I can't take this anymore" migraine and we were off to the ER. At a certain point in your pregnancy they don't just let you go into the ER. They send you up to L&D and monitor the baby before they decide what to do.

Okay... no problem. Will I be getting any relief from this migraine yet? Nope... so on they go to monitor Miles for 30 minutes. The nurse comes in and tells me that I am having contractions 2 min. apart. Um wha? I knew I was having some but I guess I can't count. Nothing painful but not as noticeable because of the intense pain I was already feeling.

They decide to move me to a room and get these contractions under control. 3 hours after arriving I get some relief from the migraine and the contractions. I am feeling better and sleep on and off. We stayed the night and checked out the next morning.

Evan was there the whole time being such a trooper. Miles gave him a swift kick to the chin at one point when Evan was talking to him... He hates migraines as much as I do.

Below is a picture of me BEFORE the pain meds, being monitored....
