From great to not very good...

Monday I had a wonderful day! I had been feeling more sick in the past week or so and feared that the medicine I had grown to love wasn't helping as much. But then Monday I woke up and had a complete sick free day. Addison and I had a play date Monday afternoon which we both enjoyed and then I came home to pop some dinner in for my family and went to dinner with a friend. I talked to my mother in law on the way home from the restaurant and even she noticed my recent good mood. (It's amazing how your mood picks up when you stop getting sick.)

Tuesday morning I was sick from the moment I woke up. And it continued to get worse and worse. When I wasn't actually throwing up, I felt like I could any minute. Getting sick did not bring any relief. After throwing up for the 7th time, I called it a night! I did not sleep well because I felt so sick. Again, I woke up sick. I kept throwing up and couldn't seem to get over it. Eventually, I had to call my grandmother to help me. I went to the doctor yesterday and they tested my urine and found ketones. That told them that my body was in more of a starvation mode and using up my fat stores to give my body/baby what it needed. Not good! My weight was the EXACT same as it has been for months! My midwife wasn't there so I had to see a lady I had never met. She told me that because of the level of ketones if my weight had dropped at all she would be sending me to the hospital to stay over night for IV fluids and medicine. But since my weight was the same I could have until Friday afternoon to get this better in control.

I'm asking you to pray. Please! I'm not scared of just going to the hospital for one night. It would be a Friday night so Nathan could take care of Addison, but I don't want to have to do this. I want things to be better for Baby B so it can continue to grow healthy and strong. And please pray that I stop feeling sick. I'm 16 1/2 weeks and I think I've gone through this long enough. I try not to complain too much but I need this to stop or I wont be able to keep Hayden any more. Thank you for your prayers!!
