Dual Trip to the ER

Last night, I went to bed around 8 pm, and woke 1 hour later to stomach cramping and became violently sick to my stomach. I eventually fell back asleep and thought everything had passed. I woke up again about another hour later, and again had stomach cramping and became very sick to my stomach. At this time I found out Dave had been sick as well while I was sleeping. When I went out to the living room to tell him I was still sick, weak and dizzy, he said "we have food poisoning." Since I've been pregnant, I haven't done much cooking at home because I have tons of food aversions, but ironically, I had cooked dinner at home last night. We will never have grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup again! I became concerned about the baby, especially since I was so dizzy, so I called my doctor (it is now 12:45 am) and they recommended I go to the ER. Dave and I both checked in. I was given 2 bags of saline fluid through IV as well as 2 types of anti-nausea medications. Dave got 1 bag of saline fluid and 1 type of anti-nausea medication. We got home around 3:30 am and have been sleeping ever since. Fortunately, we are both okay. The baby is okay as far as we know, but I'm anxious for my 12 week check-up on Friday.
