Update

So, it's been way too long since I've updated this blog! My computer has still been a bit slow so I haven't been able to upload pics until now. A lot has happened in the last few months. Unfortunately, I was hospitalized with kidney stones! :( I was having really bad back pain and what I thought was a bladder infection that had lasted over 2 weeks and blamed it on normal pregnancy symptoms. It finally became so sharp and unbearable, we had to make a trip to the emergency room. To make a long story short, I was at Arlington Memorial Wednesday night, they found the stones through an ultra sound (after a long, drawn out deal with an extremely unfriendly nurse!), went home late Thursday, stayed home Friday and the pain came back (with throwing up) on Saturday, so back to the hospital (Baylor this time), we went. I was at the hospital until Monday afternoon. Todd was such a sweetheart and stayed with me the whole time. The poor guy had to sleep on uncomfortable pull-out "beds", and even a tiny couch one night. Tamara and a few of my sweet friends from work came to visit. I had never been hospitalized overnight (except maybe when I was really small), and it was not fun AT ALL being there for 3 nights! Luckily, the little man was doing well the whole time (they were monitoring him 24/7 at first and then finally only came in every so often), and I am now stone free! The pain continued (not quite as intense), for about a week afterward and when it was all said and done, I felt like a million bucks! Well....to look on the bright side of things, maybe I'll be that much tougher when it's time to give birth! That's what I keep telling myself. ;-) Here are some pics of the belly and one with me and my friend Laura who is also preggers. I will post some pics of the nursery (which is coming along!) on my next blog...who knows when that will be!
