Bed Rest!

So, I have been on bed rest for the past 5 days. I was at work on Wednesday, decorating a cake, and I guess I passed out. No one saw me, but one minute I was decorating and the next someone was standing over me asking if I was okay. I don't know how long I was out, but it could have been a second or 10 minutes. I don't know what time I fell, but from the last time I looked at the clock till they were putting me in a wheelchair was over 20 min. I was crying and shaking really hard. I guess I freaked everyone out cause all of a sudden I had 2 managers and a supervisor and everyone from the bakery around me. They kept asking if I wanted them to call the perimedics, but I just kept saying "I'm fine." So my manager called Mark and totally freaked him out. As soon as she said, "Hi, Mark, this is Amy the bakery manager," he thought I was in labor 10 weeks early. Then she told him I had passed out and that he needed to come get me. So they put me in a wheelchair, I felt so silly, and took me out to the car. I was in Triage over at the hospital for about 5 hours. They ran a lot of tests, fed me some really good food and let me rest a while. I was having small contractions, but they were every 2-3 minutes apart, so they wouldn't let me leave till they stopped. The baby was totally fine and we could hear his hicups on the monitor. That was fun! Anyway, I guess my potassium is low and they have to do another EKG on my heart tomorrow cause something was a little off with my heart. If that appointment goes well, hopefully I can return to work and then go on vacation to Idaho. We are planning to fly to Idaho on Thursday, so it all comes down to tomorrow, but don't worry, we will do what is best for me and the baby. Overall, everything is fine, I just have to rest till they can check me out again. Anyway, just wanted to give everyone the heads up.
