oh sometimes...

I tell you sometimes things are crazy. I had a crazy day yesterday. Here are the details in outline format (this story is disturbing and gross...read at your own will!):

• Katie was nauseated = taking pills
• Pills stop most nausea but causes constipation (why does that word sound so awkward?!)
• Constipation lasts over a month and is severe = Stool softeners without much success, Milk of magnesia which I can't keep it down, Miralax not working much, Fleet enema at least works some, and finally Dr. prescribes Dulcolax stimulant laxative
  
• Katie takes this Wednesday night and wakes up crampy (this is where it gets good)
• Thursday morning = starts having MAJOR cramps
• CAUTION LINE IS GROSS (Katie starts having bm-turns to diarrhea)
  
• Katie is cramping and cramps = most pain ever...stands up to walk around which in the process of doing passes out
• Katie (now on bathroom floor) is vomiting and still doing the other stuff...which turns to more passing out and more vomit.
  

Luckily my wonderful mom-who I called during this whole fiasco came over, but in the meantime called my wonderful aunt Renee who lives just 2 minutes away and she ran over. They called the Dr., called my work (I had a huge presentation for the partner who flew out from Seattle and a manager from Portland), got my documents to work, and tended me all day making sure I was hydrated. My Dr. was not in, so I went in today to make sure the baby is okay...WHICH IT IS...and I got to see the heartbeat again and it was waving at me saying sorry for being so ornery. I forgave it.

OTHER THAN THAT--I have been crocheting baby booties (below) and I think I have found my true calling. Kacee and I sat down one afternoon and crocheted for about 4 hours. I have made a few different kinds than those below, but they give you and idea of the adorability of baby booties.
