What a week...

So this week I mentioned the pain I was in.  At first I thought it was just because of being pregnant, well it got so bad on Wednesday that I called my doctor to see what to do.  She suggested, at first, to take Tylenol and a pepcid (that was just in case it was gas).  Well I was still in pain so I called back in the afternoon and they had me come in to the office to get checked out.  It turned out I had kidney stones!  How crazy is that.  I have to say I was a little relieved that I was not going to be in such bad pain for the rest of the 9 months!  But with that said she sent me to the ER because it was to late in the day to get an ultrasound (to confirm the kidney stones) anywhere else.  So Justin met me at the house and we headed to the ER and spent most of the night in the waiting room just to be taken back and told that I had already passed them and I could go home!  AGH!  But with me being pregnant I figure it is better safe than sorry.  My OBGYN said that they might have to put me on IV to help flush it out, so needless to say I was actually glad they told me to go home.  So that is my week in a nut shell.  I got to take off the last two days of work to rest, which was much needed.  Although I felt bad leaving my office short handed, but this was doctor's orders.

Glad you don't have to go through that any longer. I hope that the rest of you pregnancy goes smoothly.
Thanks for your note, it made me laugh and that is what I needed, I didn't realize it was THAT much butter :-).
Take care

Phew! I'm glad everything is ok with the baby. Not that I am happy you had to go through kidney stones, but I'm thankful that was what it was. Hope you are feeling lots better now!!

Oh my gosh girl. I'm so glad you're ok. But that sucks about waiting for so long in pain and they tell you oh well they already passed. ugh! that's the worst.
