9 Days and Counting

Today, I went to the OB doctor to do a regular check up with the measurment, fetal heart rate and of course vitals. We went over the risks from having a c-section and when I need to get my lab work done before I go in for the c-section.
We have the date already on the book for July 9th, but we still do not know of a time. Every Wednesday my Dr assist Dr. Root's surgeries, so I will have to be planned around the surgery schedule and will know of a time maybe next Monday but defrinately on Tuesday. I have to arrive at the hospital 2-3 hours before my scheduled time so the nurse's can put an IV, give antibotics, go over instrustions and whatever else they need to do.
This whole week I will be finishing on my scrapbooking, and deep cleaning the house with my mom and Danny.
This past weekend on Saturday we had a garage sale and made $125 then around 4 the boy's went to go see Wanted and the girls went to go see Maid of Honor. Sunday we went to see for Riley's b-day party and came home around 730pm.
The Kim and Danny days are coming to an end and we plan this weekend to really relax and not do anything. Maybe Danny will play the x-Box and we both can play the Wii; also, watch some movies like Vantage Point (comes out July 1). Sunday we plan to all go out to dinner at MY CHOICE of resturant. Monday and Tuesday of next week I have to be on a soft diet because of the possibility of having bowel problems after surgery. Of course, with any surgery your body for some reason shuts down the bowel and the bladder, so my Dr would like me on a soft diet before I have the surgery.
The offical names of the baby for a boy is: Marcus Anthony Gonzalez and girl is: Madison Kathleen Gonzalez.
Danny guess for the delivery is 7lbs 2oz, 17 1/2 in and at 8:46 am (girl).
Kim guess for the delivery is 6lbs 4oz, 19 in and at 8:45am (boy).
We will see who wins.

Relaxing

Hello Everyone
Well not much as been going on over here. I have just been relaxing and taking it easy before the baby arrives.
We have finished the baby's room and started to get the rest of the house organized before the baby arrives.
I did have my OB appt last Monday and I did have a stool sample taken a week prior to my appt because I had been having a lot of diahrrea. The results revealed that I was carrying a bug called Campylobacter. It is a reportable bug to the Public Health Department, but I have not yet received a call from them. It was very interesting to hear but I must have gotten it from the baby shower that weekend prior to getting sick.
Danny and I saw The Happening and it was not very good so I do not recommend you see it just rent it on video when it comes out.

I am still alive

Yes, everyone I am still alive!
Well, Monday night about an hour before leaving work I just did not feel right. When I got home I told Danny I did not feel good and did not want anything to eat. In the middle of the night I was getting the chills and not sleeping well. I decided to go into work evn though I should have called in. By the time I got to work I could not stop dry heaving and throwing up. I called the nursing office and told them they needed to call someone in because I will not make it. Thank God my co-worker came in for me at about 930am.
When I got home I just did not feel well. I was not throwing up anymore but I had the chills. Danny had called the dr. office and they told him to to have my mom take my temp and if was > an 101 to come in at 130. So I took my temp and it was about 101.5. So, my dad took me into the office and there my temp was about 102.2. The dr. came in and did an exam and concluded that I had a virus. He said to go home stay on clear liquids and if it gets worse then call him and I would have to go to the hospital. Danny worked late that night and by the time he got home the temp was still 102. So, danny called the Dr, and as he was calling the Dr, the Dr was calling us on the house phone. Danny told him was was going on and he said just go straight to the hospital and he will call the hospital to let them know I was coming.
At the hospital my temp all night long was going up and down 100, 101 then 102. Then to make matters worst I started having diarrhea, just like the Dr. said I would have. At the hospital of course they put an IV in so I could have fluids and gave Tylenol around the clock to bring down my temp. At about 6 in the morning the temp when down to 98.9. The Dr had come in a short while later and said he was going to have me eat a clear liquid tray for lunch and come by again to see how I was doing. Later that day he had come in and said when the tray gets here and you are able to hold it down and the temp stays down then you can go home. So, later that afternoon I was discharged.
I went home and still cont to have have a couple of high temps. The Dr. called me at home to see how I was doing and I let him know the temps were still coming and going along with the diarrhea. He said to just keep taking the Tylenol and keep on clear liquids.
So, now we are on Thursday morning because Tuesday I was admitted and Wed I was discharged.
Thursday I was still feeling like crap and having the temps with the diarrhea so I just rested on the couch all day long. The Dr. had called me again that night to check up on me and he said if at all I get worst this weekend to give him a call. Late, Thursday night I started having these really bad cramping pains in my lower abdomen that we going to my back. So, I was thinking that they might be contractions. These were happening all night long but where not consist. I had called the hospital at about 2 or 3 in the morning to ask them if they were contractions they said they could be, but since I was dehydrated to drink some water (about 2 glasses) to see if they would go away and i they did not they said to come to the hospital. So, by the time Danny got up to get ready for work they were still coming and going. At about 1130 I decided I was going to call the Dr and ask them what I should do. They said they sound like contractions and go to the hospital. So, again I went to the hospital.
I was having contractions and they had given me some medications and let me go home. When I got home I had a couple of more contractions and still, yes still having diarrhea.
Friday, I just layed around the house to get better.
Saturday, we had to call the on-call Dr because I was having loose, bloody stool and he said to take Kaopectate to help. And it slowly did.
Sunday, I was writing this so I must be feeling better and just having the diarrhea, with no contractions.
YES, I AM ON MY WAY TO RECOVERY!
PS Thank you to my mom for cleaning the house and doing to laundry, while also taking me to the hospital. And Dad for taking me to the Dr and the hospital! Love you papa for taking care of me and forcing me to drink h20.

Baby Shower

I had my first baby shower thrown by Bibiana (danny's sis) and Kathy (danny's mom). They both is such an amazing job from the cake (as you saw on my mom's blog)and the games. There was one game where Danny and I had to be blind folded and change a baby's diaper, but the secret was they had put mustard inside the diaper which was a shock and gross all at the same time. And in that game, of course, I won.
As it goes the colored people have their own time, so his family did not show up until 3 hours after the time the baby shower was suppose to begin.
We got a lot of great gifts and we were really blessed to have everyone there. :)
