Our beach vacation...

Friday evening after Jeremy got off work we headed to Orange Beach for the weekend thru Monday.  As you can see there are no pictures because I ended up in the hospital Saturday morning-Sunday at noon at Foley, AL.  We think I got food poisoning Friday night on the way down in Mobile.  I woke up at 2:30 am with terrible stomach cramps and sick to my stomach.  The next morning I told Jeremy that I was weak and scared for this baby in my belly (I'm 34 weeks) and scared knowing this was how my mom died 2 1/2 years ago.  I would sit in the bathroom and cry and say, "God, please make it go away!"  The stomach pains were so bad. I couldn't help but think that was how my mom's last few hours were, only worse.

Garrett was so sweet.  Right when he woke up he came to my side of the bed at the condo and said, "Momma, I'm sorry you're sick.  I want to give you a kiss."  A little bit later he came to me again and said, "You can have my blanket.  It's real soft and it will make you feel better.  You can have my ya-ya, too (his stuffed dog).

We decided to go to the hospital and got there around 10:00 am.  The boys had their swimsuits on ready to go that morning.  Finally, at about 2:30 after we saw the dr.  I told Jeremy to go on and take the boys to the beach.  I ended up staying overnight.  I got IV fluids, meds to stop contractions, and the best part - Demerol for the pain.  I was discharged Sunday at noon and we went back to the condo.  The boys got in a little more beach/pool time late that afternoon and the next morning.  However, my feet never touched the sand and I never got to eat any seafood!!!

Jeremy was super-daddy over the weekend.  He took care of the boys and rented them movies, etc. and let me do nothing but lie in the bed.  The boys were fed, although they didn't have a bath all weekend....I think a dip in the pool counts, don't you???  I don't know what I would have done without Jeremy.  He said on the way home now he's afraid I know how capable he really is of doing things!!!  The good thing is the boys got a lot of "daddy time" over the weekend, although I hated not being there!

We're planning another beach trip in October.  This time we'll be taking Ella Katherine with us and hopefully, Jeremy's parents!  (This was the one time they didn't go on vacation with us!) This next trip should be a whole lot better!!!!
