So, things have defininitely been interesting this week. Tuesday night, I wasn't feeling all that well, but I knew I wasn't having contractions. I went to bed, hoping to feel better in the morning. And, I did. For about an hour. But about 7:30 Wednesday morning, I felt like I got hit by a bus. Literally. I called the doctor and tried going to work but couldn't make it out of the neighborhood.
To make a long story short, sweet Gus made a mad dash to the hospital during morning rush hour. You haven't lived until you have puked on the side of 285.
Once we got to Northside, the nurses in Maternity Urgent Care took care of me until the doctor on call arrived. They determined I had a mixture of kidney stones and a kidney infection. Fun times. We were moved to another room in the maternity ward where we stayed until Friday morning.
We met a lot of wonderful nurses and several of the other doctors in my practice. I know we'll be well taken care of when Will decides to come. Will was a total rockstar through the whole thing. He's a strong and happy boy!
I've heard lots of people say that the pain of a kidney stone is worse than the pain of labor. Since I had at least two stones, check back in a few weeks, and I will be able to tell you for sure.
We're looking forward to a few more weeks before Will arrives, and here's to hoping they are slow, relaxing and uneventful.

I promise labor isn't that bad. If I could make it 36 hours without drugs, I am sure the kidney stones were worse.
