The past 24 hours...ugh!
Well, after I got off work at 10pm last night I came home and Joshua woke up shortly thereafter. I grabbed him out of his crib and he was inconsolable. I listen to him and he is wheezing. So, I wake up my husband and ask him how he was this evening. He said he has woke up 5 times since being put to bed. I told him his wheezing sounds worse so I am going to take him to the urgent care at the hospital I work at. I get there and to make a long story short, he receives 2 breathing treatments and an xray. No pneumonia but he is diagnosed with broncholitis. I am sent home with an inhaler and instructions to administer it every 4 hours with symptoms. I get to bed at 2am and am awoken at 550 am to his crying. He manages to go back to sleep and reawakens at 720am. I get up and go to the bathroom. Then I grab him from his bed and go downstairs. Being the good obsessive pregnant person I am I take my vag temp on the toilet and it is down....to 98.5! I am stunned. Well, I wait another 1/2 hour and take it again and it is down to 98.2! I am starting to freak at this point and the past week of no real symptoms and temps dropping of course urges a call to my ob. I get stat labs ordered and drawn. After the whole day of worrying and waiting I just got the call with the results. My progesterone is 28.7 and my hcg is 887. I am told that my hcg may be slightly low but with my progesterone the doctor is not at all worried. I am somewhat relieved. I put the numbers into the trusty hcg calculator and my doubling time is 52.7 hours...Normal. Why am I not having any symptoms? I usually have to pee oodles and I have noticed no real change. I never have nausea this early but the lack of urination and the weird temp drop has me uneasy. I know, I know....try not to worry. Easier said than done. So, I hope tonight is a more restful night. AHHH!!!!

Oh, Patty, I know I can't take your fears away. But I just wanted to say that we've all got our fingers crossed for you.
