I survived the stomach flu, talk about brutal...

The whole premature labor scare mixed with the drugs for it resulted in stomach ulcers.  Stomach ulcers are super duper painful when your stomach is empty so the combination of throwing up and not eating for 36 hours was especially not fun.

I think the most stressful part about the stomach flu was being dehydrated.  I got lectured at the hospital and by my doc about how dehydration is bad and causes your uterus to contract so I was worried the whole time about the stomach flu causing bad contractions again.  Luckily I only had one bad bout of them that only lasted an hour.  My OB said that was actually very good considering how dehydrated the stomach flu makes you. 

Now for the great news…  I think my luck might be turning…  I was finally tested for something I DON’T have, gestational diabetes!  Go me!

Also yesterday successfully marked 26 weeks!
