23 weeks 6 days

It's been a while hey, I guess you could say alot of stuff has happened since. But we'll get onto the serious stuff later.

THE FRONT ROOM IS OFFICIALLY CLEANED OUT!!!!!!!!!!! Bar the runners in the windows, they're still gross. But everything is clean!!! Walls, Roof, Carpets, Windows. DONE. Now all that needs to be done is to get rid of the chair and table thats in there and clear out the cupboard!







To celebrate we bought this chest of drawers from chandlers!! wooo!!! and the 3 sesame st pics we bought from the target sale - we decided to put up on the wall already! haha We already put all the baby clothes we already own into the chest too!! :D How exciting!!!!

Last Thursday Kyle OFFICIALLY felt his first Kick!!! :) :) :) and then the day after we saw it kick from the outside!! haha that was weird!!




This is the car seat we got for christmas off mumsy! The fitting for it is in the middle, but if we were to have it in the middle that means both front seats need to be pushed way forward, so we tried it behind the passenger seat, it needs to be pushed up but atleast the car seat fits snugly behind it. We need an extension for the straps and need the hook to be moved to the side so we can attatch it to the car.
But kyle sat in the front with the car seat in and said theres no way we can do long trips like that, so I guess me or him will have to sit in the back with bub... IF theres more room back there. Haven't even TRIED the pram yet lol no idea if that'll fit in the boot lol.
I don't wanna sell bubble :( and I really dont trust Kyles car - which he is quite pissed off about, but it's true, I wouldnt drive it the way it is and I wouldnt want Jelly in there.



And I guess that brings me to the reason why I haven't updated in a while. The night of Jan 13, I woke in the middle of the night to the worst shakes ever, and I was FREEZING cold, got up and put winter PJs on and went back to sleep, woke up sweating my ass off, so ripped it all off, got up and felt fine. Wasnt til after breakfast that I started to go downhill again, just felt like shit. In the afternoon after a call to mumsy I decided I better get to the doctors, as I just felt really hot, and really out of it. Doctor took my temp - 38.8, got a urine sample, and said they found a bug, put me on antibiotics, told me to buy a themometer to check my temps and sent me home....got NO sleep that night AT ALL.
Next day, I was USELESS, layed on the couch all day, had really bad back pains, worst fever ever, shakes returned, and a KILLER headache. Leesha was up spending time with me - well I just layed there dead and she just sat there staring at the wall LOL, I checked my temp again 39.4! Mum had messaged her asking how my temp was, when she found out she was on the phone to leesha telling me to get to the hospital ASAP. I was kinda hesitant to go, because I didnt really think anything was wrong.
Got to the emergency at about 4pm maybe, 1-2 hours later in the waiting room at emergency I finally got in. That time waiting was the worst, as all I wanted to go was lay down.
As soon as I got in, I got one of those things attatched to my hand and was hooked up to a drip. Blood tests were taken, many questions were asked. The whole time I was there they were asking about UTI's and whether it hurt when I pee or if I had been going to wee more often all to which I said no, I think they really wanted to put it down to a UTI lol.
A couple of hours after being in that room I was wheeled to the other part of emergency where everyone else is aswell. They kept checking my temp, asking how I was feeling, changed my drip bag... also got an ultrasound on bub which was REALLY good, but I was freaking thinking she was gonna say "oh your little girl is doing great" or "your little boy is fine" but she didnt lol kyle had a better look at the screen then I did and I told him he better not have seen anything lol.
Kyle ended up staying with me til we knew what was going on.... about 10:30pm
Got Wheeled over to the maternity ward at like 1:30am!!
The night lady was really nice, she was my favourite!
So yeah, I was stuck in there for 3 nights, my fever peaked again on sunday, had the shakes again real bad. Got an ultrasound done on my kidneys. Ate some terrible food, ate some okay food, got no sleep, took a shit load of pain killers, had antibiotics pumped into me every night, woke with back pains every night (which was actually kidney pains) wasnt until monday that I was told it was a Kidney infection which was caused by the pregnancy and somehow my urinary tract is related to it all somehow so I am to drink 3L of fluids a day to wash it out.
I was in the worst section too, the very first room on the left, no door & very busy part of the ward = NOISY FREAKING PEOPLE WALKING PAST 24/7, people stopping and talking on their phones outside my room, and there was a door somewhere that kept opening and slamming shut 24/7 I just wanted to find it and blow it up!
On my last day there 2 ladies got wheeled into my room with their newborns, I was SO glad they released me coz there was NO WAY I was staying with 2 newborns in the room. I was DESPERATE for a good nights sleep, and seriously I was going crazy in there, I missed Kyle, I was lonely, and it sucked not knowing what was wrong with me.

So I am hoping I don't need to go back to hospital to stay UNLESS I am having the bub!

For now I am on antibiotics, one every 6 hours, So I gotta wake myself at midnight and 6am to take one, then take one at 12pm and 6pm. Oh the joys - can't wait til thats over so I can get a full nights sleep.

Anyways I think thats all I need to say for now. Might be back tomorrow with a 24 week bump pic.
