Update...

Well...it has been a very busy few days but everything is GREAT!!! The kidney stone passed and I have been great...no contractions and no need for medication. We moved into our house and are busy getting settled. Tyce's room is totally organized and I got all the baby's stuff washed and put away yesterday. The crib is up and just needs made. I am feeling more and more ready. Just some minor organizing to do and we are ready and settled!

Sorry for worrying you...MARLENE! lol!! I officially have 4 1/2 weeks left until my due date and baby is weighing at about 6 lbs already! He has dropped and it is best for me and my pelvis if I sit a lot because he is really heavy down there.

I'll check in soon for more updates but we have no internet right now so it is hit and miss! Love you all!

Five Gratefuls....

I got this idea from my lovely lindsay's blog...

Five Things I Am Grateful For...

The bright blue eyes of my Tyce and all his hugs and kisses
The feeling of my new little baby moving around in my tummy
The hard work of my husband on EVERYTHING!!!
My new (old) house that we will hopefully be moving into VERY soon
My mother in law for all her help with Tyce while I have not been feeling well...and everything else she does for everyone without complaint

Your turn...
Love, Daisha

And the DIAGNOSIS is...

A KIDNEY STONE...

Yup...that dang thing has been causing my pain (obviously), fever, contractions, etc. I am relieved to know that everything really is fine with the baby and I am not in pre-term labor, which also means that I don't need to be on doctor ordered bed rest. Mark on the other hand is still making me stay down...which I will for a few days just because I am tired and in pain. I still have to take my meds (as needed) to slow/stop my contractions and that medication makes me feel weak and my heart races so hopefully I will be able to stop that very soon.

Thank you all so much for your comments and prayers and now we will just pray that this stone will pass with no more problems and the rest of this pregnancy will be as wonderful as it has been until this weekend!

ANOTHER trip to the Hospital...ANOTHER update...

Well, I am completely exhausted so I will make this short and sweet. Last night around 5:30pm I started having horrible pain in my left side. It was into my kidney and radiated into my side and into my groin. Everytime I had a contraction...it was at a level of 8-9 on the pain scale. I got a lot of good practice with my hypnobirthing tools and I have to tell you...my confidence is a little shaken of my abilities to go natural but I am still determined. When I was not contracting...it was still at about a 6. THEN I started running a low grade fever at which point my doc sent me to the hospital AGAIN.

At the hospital they gave me an IV to try and help the contractions slow by adding more fluid to my system. They could not give me more contraction stopping medication because my heart rate was and still is over 120. The doctor insisted on giving pain meds in a shot because she was sure the pain I was feeling was causing my contractions...which is debatable since I am still having lots and the pain is significantly better today.

They did a test to check for kidney stones and another kidney inflammation issue that is common in pregnant women and both were negative. She said that my urine was too hydrated and looked great. Okay so the blood work came back with an elevated white blood count and I had my fever. So, they don't know what is wrong. They gave me a HUGE shot of anti-biotic because there has to be an infection somewhere but they are convinced it is NOT in my uterus or anywhere that will affect the baby...he looks GREAT by the way.

So, I go to the doc tomorrow morning for a followup and hopefully we will get some answers. NOW...I am going back to sleep!
