My overnight stay in hospital= baby boy???!!!

Shawn took me to the ER on Sunday afternoon. I woke up with chest pain and my hands and fingers were numb and tingling. After baby aspirin easing the pressure and then came back 5 hours later, Shawn decided I needed to be checked out. I was also dizzy, then light headed, then nauseous. In ER they decided I needed to spend night for stress test in the morning. That night before bed, Noah told the other boys,"Moms in the hospital, she's probably having a baby, maybe its going to be a baby boy. Its names going to be Banana Apple!" So, boy,  I don't know where he came up with that one! The next evening I was released and when I got home the kids couldn't wait to tell me what Noah thought. I asked him why I went in the hospital he said because you got shocked. I asked if he thought I was having a baby he said, "Yep,  a baby boy and you named him Banana."  Funny, funny Noah! The shock thing he was talking about.., In June last year I was sitting on the damp ground repairing our electric fence. Noah saw it unplugged(wonder why!!) and he knows we keep it plugged in to keep the goats in the fence. So being ever so helpful, he plugged it in. You can probably figure out what happened next. There I sit on the ground with wire in each hand getting ready to tie it back together, next thing I know I'm pushed backward away from fence with a serious jolt. Actually caused me to stop breathing. Very scary!! I had previously been having racing heart issues, after that it has only happened a few times! So, little helper Noah turned into Dr. Noah and stopped and reversed the pattern of my heart(At least that is what the nurses doing my stress test said when they did the EKG during the stress test!). The final diagnoses of my stay, muscular skeletal from pushing the snow off our driveway on Friday with a push broom. That never even crossed my mind on our way in or I never would have went! Didn't realize that would cause the numb hands and other symptoms I had. Oh well, least we know I have no clogged arteries!
