This week went a little differently than planned - we took it pretty easy all week and then Thursday morning hit. I had been having some back pain all week, but assumed it was due to carrying a 25 pound child and being 8 months preggo. Finally at 1:30am on Thursday I could not sleep and was in pretty bad pain. Nick woke up around 3am with me and we decided to call the doctor at 4am to see if this was back labor or what. Around 4:30am we went to the hospital to get checked out and by 9am I was checked into a room and told I would be there overnight. They did some ultrasounds but couldn't determine what the pain was - they thought it was likely a kidney stone, but I was also contracting so they were not sure. I ended up staying over night and passed a kidney stone at 1am on Friday. It was a relief and so nice to be out of pain! I was released Friday morning and was home by 11am. All in all, it was best case scenario, but I was very dehydrated (they pumped 5 1/2 bags of fluids into me!) and told me to drink water and take it easy or I would have this baby very early. When they checked me I was 1 1/2 CM dilated and 50% effaced. So, following doctors orders we laid pretty low all weekend.
We did manage to visit some friends house, Ben and Ariel, to see everyone for a bit and get pumped up for the Duck game. We ended up staying home for the game and sadly rooting on our team who just wasn't "there" :( Thank goodness there is always next weekend!
The rest of the weekend we hung out at home and did little things to keep Wyatt busy (as he is now down to 1 nap!). Nick played some golf and we checked out my sisters new apartment...which is super cute and fun.
This week we will continue to keep it low key and keep that baby in me for as long as possible - we have a dr appt on September 13th and will see where we are at that time. Until then, water is my solution to everything :)
Happy September!
