Trial Run

So, after reading the last post, it may seem as if everything has been going great. Well...not so much. The day after our last appointment, Wednesday, I woke from sleep around 5am with excruciating pain. It was a different pain than I have ever experienced and it really scared me. I went and tried to take a bath to see if that would help, but it didn't. I was in so much pain and I had spent most of the night tossing and turning. Once Casey woke up around 7am we decided we should call the doctor. I explained to him how I was feeling and he told me to be at the office at 8am. We went and they did tons of things to determine what was going on. They checked my urine, checked "me", did a cervical length, fetal fibronectin, checked the baby, etc. The did ALOT. When it came down to identifying the problem, they decided that I had kidney stones that I needed to pass. (As if labor isn't bad enough) Long story short, they admitted me to the hospital for tons of iv fluids, pain meds, and antibiotics. Casey and I experienced what we now refer to as our trial run in the hospital! After a long night of little sleep, I was released the next day. They prescribed me pain meds and instructed me to drink lots of fluid. Not that this experience wasn't bad enough, Saturday rolled around and I was experiencing somewhat different symptoms. Long story short, I had to call the doctor again and he prescribed me a new medication to try. I have never been so uncomfortable in my life...literally feeling like I have to pee every 5 minutes!!! So, I have been out of work and pretty much out of commission for the last few days. I'm ready to start feeling better!! Oh, and by the way, I am 31wks today!
