Clint and I had to watch some kids Saturday morning at their house, all was going well until around 9am when I began to realize that I might have a urinary tract infection. Throughout the morning the pain got worse and worse. I had a baby shower at 2pm so I wanted to at least try to feel better for that. Clint and I decided it would be best if I went to the hospital to get the results and get on medications if it was a UTI. We took the kids to my in-laws and Clint stayed there with them as I went to the hospital. Overall my hospital visit was awesome, the nursing staff was great and I got to see my baby's heartbeat and realize that I was having contractions, so exciting! Apparently I have been having contractions for a few weeks now and never realized it, so that was good to figure that out. The nurses said our sweet girls heartbeat looked great. The doctor said I had a really really bad UTI and would need to get on medication immediately. I left the hospital by 1:20pm and made it to my shower just in time.
The shower was a huge blessing, it was thrown by my mom's friends and some of my mother-in-laws friends came too. I was given great gifts, great advice, and had wonderful food. Even though I wasn't feeling 100% it was still a great shower.
By the time I made it home I started to feel a lot of pain in my lower back, the pain continued and got more intense as the evening went on. By night time I was so uncomfortable and nothing would relieve my pain. Clint and I called the doctor just to make sure he thought everything was okay. The doc said I could have a kidney infection or even a kidney stone, yuck!!! He said all I could do was drink lots of water, cranberry juice and take my medicine for at least 48 hours before they could do anything else. So let's just say Clint and I had a LONG night, but my honey took such great care of me, rubbing my back for hours, and just being there for me at all times!
I am finally starting to feel better, praise the LORD. I go to the doctor Monday morning so hopefully I will find out if I still have a UTI or if it's a kidney infection. This has somewhat prepared me for what labor will be like =D
I will update once I get back from the doctor tomorrow morning. Please pray that all will be well!
I'll post some pictures from the shower
