So much for my weekend! :(

So all my weekend plans were thrown out the window at 4:05pm Friday!! It was almost quiting time and I started to feel kinda funny, almost like you would on Christmas day after you ate way too much turkey!? I started sweating like crazy and then I knew ..... I was having another attack! I told my boss as I was dripping in sweat, called my hubby to come get me cause there was no way I was driving and waited for him to get to my work. He actually made it here pretty quick considering it was rush hour, normally it is about a 20 minute drive and he got here in about 12! We went straight to the hospital which is another half hour away, so by the time I got there I had been having the attack for an hour. I blame the attack on popcorn, Fridays at work they make theatre style popcorn and I think I had too much!? Since I am further then 20 weeks the emergency nurses didn't even bother examining me and called for a porter to get me to the maternity ward. All I wanted was a shot of morphin and graval to help with the pain!? I ended up getting admitted because my white blood cells and liver enzymes were high. I felt better after being in there a day and figured I would be able to go home by Sunday but they wanted to see how food sat in my stomach and kept me there till Monday. I don't think this attack was as bad as my first one cause I feel good today and I'm back at work. The doctors gave me a prescription this time for some antibiotics that leave a funny taste in my mouth (apparently one of the side affects). I think I started ignoring the fact that I'm 'sick' and need to watch my diet, I was feeling good and kept pushing my limits with the fat intake. I thought that since it was OK to eat 8g of fat then I pushed it too 12g, I guess now I have to pay more attention to the diet and stay below 8g. I also think that when I over eat it reacts with my gallbladder and might cause an attack so ... less fat ... smaller meals is what is in store for me for the next 16 weeks! The doctors even said that I will probably have another attack before baby is born, sometimes it doesn't matter how close you watch your diet!? :(

On the plus side ... I got to hear the babies heart beat everyday from nurses that knew what they were looking for and not surgical nurses that didn't even know how to find the heart beat! And I got another ultrasound (no pics ~ but a sneak peak at baby), this time the technician asked me if I knew what the sex was and I told him that we didn't ask last time but I think I know because of the last sneak peak I had at the hospital. He asked me what I thought and told me what the right answer was .... I didn't expect him to confirm the sex but he did so now I have to try and keep it a secret from my family! I think I can, it's fun to not know and have people guess. So I just have to make sure that every once and awhile I refer to baby as he or she to keep people on their toes guessing!! ;)

Yesterday after I got home I really wanted a nice warm bath, so after that I did some laundry and felt bad for hubby so I made him some chocolate chip cookies. He has been really good through all this hospital crap, making sure the house is clean and helping whenever I ask. I feel like he has been working really hard at trying to get the basement finished and doing other jobs to make money for us! He's been very busy and I feel like my sickness maybe adds a little more un-needed stress to his life!? Chocolate cookies is the least I could do! ;) I also made a veggie casserole for my lunches and took the dog for a walk to get milk. I copied down the recipe for Turkey Soft Tacos but I think this post is getting a little long so I will post that recipe tomorrow.
