Joys of Being a Teacher

I could never imagine a job that I love more on most days. I had an "off" day however on Saturday. I loathed being a teacher yesterday and blamed it for the "bug" I caught. I woke up Saturday excited about spending a Saturday with my husband who is always so reluctant to go anywhere away from Wilkes county. We were going to go shopping and have dinner out for his birthday. Of course the one day he agrees to go do these things, I turn up sick shortly after waking up. I thought at first it may just be some morning sickness that I occasionally still get but knew all too quickly there was more to it when I was vomiting every 30 minutes. It was absolutely horrible and I couldn't keep anything down. I knew it was a stomach virus but never being pregnant before, I didn't know how all of that worked when you have a person inside of you! I called Dr. Heiner who wanted me to come in and get fluids and some nausea meds. I would have tried to tough it out like usual but apparently pregnant women get sicker quicker and dehydrate fast. I was admitted for a short while to the OB floor for monitoring to make sure I wasn't contracting and all was well with the baby. We got a sneak peek of where we will be in early January! My potassium was low so we stayed for more fluids and phenergen for nausea and left the hospital around 8 p.m. I slept until earlier today and now feel pretty good, just a little weak. I will now be bathing myself in hand sanitizer at school and I refuse to use the same bathrooms as the kids now!
