Life as a Spencer...: December 2010

Poor itty bitty fell yesterday and hit his eyebrow on the ceramic toilet paper holder in our bathroom yesterday. He had a huge bump on his eyebrow and a small one under his eye. The bump went away within thirty minutes or so. And ev was acting fine. He got up around 4:30 this morning and crawled in bed with us. Since he switched to the toddler bed this isn't unusual. I had started having lots of contractions last night and we almost went to the hospital. They quit after about an hour and a half. Anyway when ev came in went back to sleep but I started feeling pretty awful. I got up at five and took a hot shower and came back to bed. Ev woke up at some point and cried for a little bit and made some funny noises and went back to sleep. I started having contractions around six or so and woke ray up to time them. Ev woke up about 6:45. So we decided to go downstairs and get Christmas started. Ray went to let the dogs out and fell and slid on his butt halfway down the stairs while holding Evan. Evan was fine but pretty scared and started crying and then threw up. He'd eaten a whole orange with dinner the night before and we figured it was just irritating his stomach. We went upstairs to change ev and noticed that he had thrown up a little in his bed. He was still running around and acting normal. During Christmas I was having contractions and felt really nauseous. When all the presents were unwrapped we went back up to let ev play and watch tv. He did fine until about 10 am. He normally takes a nap at noon but he went and laid with ray for a little bit and was trying to sleep. He came and crawled up with me and snuggled in and fell asleep. This is very unusual because he usually runs around until nap time. After about twenty minutes he threw up all over me. Ray took him and before we could get to the bathroom to clean up, he threw up on ray. We changed him and headed to the hospital to make sure he didn't have a concussion. We were there from about 11 am-4 pm. Evan was really out of it and extremely lethargic. Not to long after we got there I got really light headed and felt like passing out. They made up the bed next to Evan and had me lay down. I got a granola bar and they brought me lots of juice. I need up laying in the bed most of the time we were there. Poor ray was pretty much on parent duty the whole time. I was still have contractions and every time he had to get up and down his tailbone hurt really bad. They took ev to get a ct scan. It came back fine. They determined that he probably has a bug maybe bacterial. We get the results back tomorrow. They gave him two IVs. It took 45 min of the first one before he started acting a little more normal. By the second one he was sitting up and drinking juice on his own and feeling a lit better. They gave him antibiotics through his IV and finally said he was ok enough to go. He's doing better and was on a juice diet until tomorrow and then only bland food. And then a follow up on Monday to make sure he's doing better. Although my father or mother-in-law is going to have to take him. We're scheduled to be induced Monday morning. And the way I've been feeling all day, I'm not sure Grace is going to wait till then. Anyway we're exhausted and finally going to bed.
