Valentines Day Scare.

Valentines is usually full of Flowers and Love and Candy and Kissing and Loving. Last year Scott made me a Beautiful Breakfast. French Toast and ham and bacon and eggs. The cute thing was he made everything like a heart. Sadly we weren't married yet. So this year I was so excited I was going to make Scott the best breakfast in bed ever!!!! Just as I was about to go to the Store to buy the supplies to make Valentines so wonderful I started having some small contractions. They slowly got worse and worse. I told Scott and we called our Dr. I felt bad because it was like 8:30. We told him what was going on and he told me to go to the ER to get an Ultrasound to make sure everything was OK. We waited in the waiting area for about an hour. The contractions staying the same. They finally let us into a room. We got some blood tests done and also an ultra sound and everything was just fine. I'm not sure why I was contracting. We were finished up with the Ultrasound and by 10:30-11:00 ish yet we didn't get to leave the hospital until 3:00 am. Scott and I turned and looked at each other with grouchy faces and said Happy Valentines. We were both sooo tired and upset that we were still there.
We finally left and as we were getting discharged the guy letting us go went over a couple things. Like I needed to call my Dr. to tell him I was here. Also if the pain got worse to call him and go into his office. He also Said, "Now it looks like your HCG levels are really high in your blood." We said uhh thanks and left. As soon as Scott and I got out outside we started busting up laughing. I don't think they realized I was Pregnant or something. The HCG level is the level of the hormone the baby gives off. So if your HCG level is high then that jsut means you are pregnant. The ER Dr. also prescribed me some med. and then said, "oh wait your pregnant you can't take that so take this one instead." When we got there Scott knew the ER probably wouldn't understand my condition because they don't see it often so when the Dr came in Scott wasn't hesitant to basically just tell the dr what we needed to do. Scott said, "We need to just get in an have an ultrasound to check the length of the cervix" Scott said "I will be able to tell if its made any change from our last ultra sound. If its long then we are ok. if its shorter than the last time we saw it then we need to get on the phone with our baby specialists right away for an emergency cerclage surgery" Way to take charge babe. We sure love our hospital but after that experience I'm not sure we can ever really trust the knowledge of the ER Doctors. It was pretty funny. But there went our Valentines. I didn't get breakfast for Scott and he didn't get me anything. Sunday morning I tried making up for it and made breakfast in bed so its the thought that counted right?!? I hope you all had wonderful and eventful Valentines Day!!
