38 weeks and sick

I'm now officially 38 weeks, but on Tuesday I started to getting sick at work. By the end of the night I was laying on our couch crying. (I don't do well with being sick) Wednesday I called in sick to work and staid home to rest so I could try to go to work the next day. Wednesday night I got even worse. I was laying in bed with the chills and a fever that lasted for hours. By Yesterday morning I was so ill. I cant remember the last time I felt so horrible. Needless to say I didn't make it to work. It finally dawned on me that I had the flu. My body ached and my throat hurt so bad and I was very congested. My night was not just horrible for me, but I guess it was hard for the baby too. When I had woke up tried to eat some breakfast and I realized that I hadn't felt the baby move since 4 in the morning. He's a very active baby so for him not to kick me at list once worried me. I ended up calling the Dr.s and they wanted to see me just to make sure things were ok. They said since I had a fever I probably got dehydrated and the baby might not be feeling good because I wasn't feeling good. Mike was so good to me yesterday, I couldn't have asked for anything better. He took me to the hospital and sat with me while they monitored the baby. (He's so funny every time we go to the hospital he loves to see what other women's contractions are doing because they put a bunch on the monitors) So before we left they did an exam and I was dilated 1cm. woohoo! That was pretty exciting to hear so maybe not much longer. So the baby was fine, he must have been very tired from the rough night we had. My sister Corrie was so wonderful to pick up Tyler for us while we were getting checked so we stopped by her house to pick him up. Mike took me home so I could rest and Tyler and daddy went to the store to get mommy a few things to make her feel better. Today my fever finally broke and I'm starting to feel so much better. Corrie even said I looked "much" better today. :0) I have another Dr.'s appt on Tuesday so hopefully I will have Dilated more.
