This weekend, we had some great plans but as plans go, they often have a mind of their own. We were planning on heading to Ashville, NC for the weekend right after my class on Saturday and spending some time with Anna's friend from high school. My silly body had something else in mind. Let me start off by saying Jaiden is great! So Saturday morning about 5:30, I woke up with a lot of pain in my lower right back. No big deal, I just thought I slept wrong so now I'm awake so I have to pee... After that, something just didn't feel right so i thought I'd go downstairs to put the heating pad on my back but before I got to the stairs, I got very sick to my stomach so I went into the other bathroom to sit (and pee again). Anna came in to check on me and then helped me downstairs. I just couldn't get comfortable and the pain just kept getting worse. I started to get worried because things weren't getting any better. After throwing up, I decided to call my sister. She said if I was in that much pain, go tot the er. (I didn't want to.) After writhing some more, I decided to call my ob and they concurred so off we went. Anna grabbed Jaiden then helped me to the car. We got to Northside and they were wonderful. Needless to say, after 2 shots of Morphine, I could still feel the pain but I just didn't care. Then, after I had an ultrasound, I finally started to feel human again. I told Anna it was like someone turned on the light and I was me again. In the middle of all of that, Aunt Rosie came to get Jaiden who was as always, wonderful. They ultrasound came back normal and the dr said since I was feeling so much better, they would let me go home. They think it might have been a kidney stone or some other irritation but the bottom line for me is, whatever it was, it's gone now. I don't think it will come back but to be sure, I'm drinking a LOT of water. I can honestly say I have never been in that much pain before and i hope to never experience it again.
Jaiden got to spend the day with Aunt Rosie, his cousin Charlotte, Jen and Jonathon. They had great fun swimming, shopping and going to Monkey Joe's.. He even went down the slide all by himself; alot!. We went to Rose's house or dinner, after a wonderful nap, and just had a relaxing evening. I'm not sure if Rose will ever understand how much I appreciate her taking such great care of out little one. Thank you so much Rosie!!! She did take some pictures and when she sends them to me, I'll post them here.
Anyways, our other little one was also quite the trooper. Through everything I was going through, her heartbeat was strong and steady. We have any appt with the midwives on tues just to make sure.
Today was much less exciting. We stayed at home and just rested. We got to have dinner with Pops and Nana and earlier we did watch Wall-E. While we were watching, Anna took a few pictures. No post would be complete without a few pictures of the little one so here they are.
love and hugs,
Steph, Anna, Jaiden and ???
