Not another one!

Saturday night Ty and I had a wonderful date night while his parents kept Jake for us. We went to eat at Mi Luna and then saw Get Smart. It was our first movie in a LONG time and we enjoyed our date. Sunday morning we got ready for church and just before we started to leave, my back pain started. It was the sharp, shooting pain in my kidneys, and I knew what was coming next: the dreaded kidney stone attack. Ty suggested we go ahead and go to the ER before it got too bad and especially since I'm pregnant. Al and Jonesa were going to meet us at church with Jake so they just went ahead and took him with them which was such a blessing! When we got to the ER, I told them I was having a kidney stone and remarkably, they got me right back. I was so thankful Ty had encouraged me to come right away because by the time we got there, it was bad! Since I am pregnant, I got a smaller dose of pain medicine, and the first round didn't work. They did an ultrasound since a x-ray was out of the question, and also took a peek at the baby whose heartbeat was strong...thank God! After about 4 hours they got my pain under control. Ty was SO patient with me and so good to me...the nurse even commented on what a wonderful husband I had. The doctor came back that afternoon to tell me I had a UTI infection and kidney stone probably brought on by dehydration. I knew last week when I got so sick that I also had become dehydrated...What a cycle! He gave me some antibiotics in my IV and then released me. Jonesa and Al kept Jake last night too which was wonderful so I could rest some more. The moral of the story is I must drink more...even if I don't feel like it. I will survive and I will be 12 weeks on Thursday so I'm hanging on! Here's a picture of me at 11 weeks...definitely already showing!
