"You Spin Me Right Round..."

Oh boys & girls did we have an interesting night last night!! Around 4:15 I woke up to flip to my other side (happens countless times each night to get comfortable) and I felt so dizzy. I was a little shocked but I first thought I must have just been in a deep sleep to cause this. I have gotten light headed twice- last time it was at the doctors and I stood up to quickly. BUT when I shut my eyes I started to get the spins....I woke up and tried to move to a different position and I felt like I was moving in slow motion. I decided to try and get up and walk to the restroom. As I was walking I felt like a pin ball bouncing to each wall and I barely made it to the toilet. I sat there for about 2 minutes but the room was spinning and I knew I should not try to walk back to the bed so I called to Mike. He jumped out of bed to rush to see what was going on. It took 3 attempts to stand up before we were successful. But I could barely hold myself up, each time I tried to move my head to look at mike or back to the bed I was sent into a horrible spin. We called the on call doctor and she told me to lay down and just rest and that if I still had it in the morning that they would have me come in to check my blood pressure. Well thanks to Mike's old pharma job we have a blood pressure machine that he used to give to doctors. The first time he took it it was low, so I sat up to retake it. I was fine. I just laid back down and proceeded to cry- mostly because in my head I was freaked out, tired and thought something was wrong. But after 2 hours of spinning I finally past out. I woke up 2 hours later and felt okay. I was just really weak. I can't imagine people that have to battle vertigo often- it is horrible!!! My friend Meg has been dealing with this for 10 flipping weeks since the birth of her daughter Piper. Docs told her it was due to dehydration...needless to say I will be drinking loads more water when Lily is born!

Tomorrow will mark 38 weeks....only 2 more left. Just wondering what other pregnancy woes I will encounter before birth! Anyways that is a quick update! My next appointment is this Friday and I am wondering if I will be any further along than what I measured last week!
