9+ months pregnant and the stomach flu

Oh the joys of sharing your 3rd anniversary with the stomach flu and being 9+ months pregnant. I woke up around 3 am on the 10th (our anniversary) with HORRIBLE stomach pains - well I will spare you all the details, but to put it plainly - I have never had the stomach flu in such force in all my life. I thought I was possibly in labor as I was having these stomach crampings every 2 minutes from 3 am until 8 am. It was unbearable, I was just moaning the whole time while I cramped - I thought "if this is labor there is NO way an epidural can make THIS feel better"! I didn't wake Ryan because I didn't want him to worry, but when he did wake up he freaked a little and wanted to go into the hospital. I still wasn't convinced that I was in labor - I mean, really - who wants to throw up on their baby the first time they meet him?! So long story short, after a call to the hospital and a mid morning nap, besides horrific stomach pains, I started to feel better. So we slept and laid around all day long on our anniversary instead of going out for a nice meal. Now we just continue to sit and wait to see if Dunstan will make an arrival anytime soon. We see Dr. Heller tomorrow, but I am guessing nothing new unless having the stomach flu can make you dilate?!
