Kidney Stone and It's a BOY!

Yeah I know, how do those two go in the same title you might ask. Well last week on Friday I had felt some cramping or soreness mainly on my left side.  I didn't think anything about it since I am pregnant and your body does weird things anyway so I just ignored it pretty much and took it easy.  The next day, Saturday, I was working the storage units at home and Jet was upstairs napping. James was out cleaning windows and out of nowhere I started to get a sharp pain in my left side where the cramping had been.  I thought, 'well that for sure is not normal'. So I tried to call James and texted him that I was heading to the instacare. I got Jet up from his nap,  packed him up and headed to the instacare about 5 min from my house.  I went in and they told me to go to the emergency room because my blood pressure was high and they didn't have imaging or ultrasound really to help me.  So I packed Jet up again and the pain was still there.  As I was driving myself to the emergency room, the pain was getting worse.  I was scared I wouldn't make it to the emergency room.  I made it there, got Jet in the stroller and they checked me in.  The nurse said it sounded like a kidney stone, so I guess that made me feel better.  After I had been checked in, Jet and I went to our room.  The pain got really bad.  I mean like, pain so bad you throw up, feel like you are going pass out, break out in a sweat type pain.  The nurses could hear my moaning and crying and gave me a couple of doses of morphine, and even then the pain was just bearable.  I made sure everyone knew that I was pregnant, like 3 times so the morphine was ok for baby. Anyway, I called James and told him to come over and soon he was there.  The nurses had already changed Jet's diaper twice, so that was nice to have someone else do that for a change. I felt bad for the kid having to watch me writhe around in pain, but he got a cookies and chocolate milk, so I don't think he minded.
          We went into the ultrasound room to try and see the kidney stone and check on baby.  Baby was doing great and I asked the nurse to see if baby was a boy or girl, just to brighten my day.  The tech found the parts and asked if we were familiar with them, and for sure it is a BOY! Even though I was kinda out of it, I was so happy.  It could not be more perfect if I had planned it myself.  Two boys, two years apart, both in October. I have everything ready for their first 20 months of life. I am soooo excited to see them grow up, play with each other, and become friends.  I really hope they are great friends; I will do my best to foster that friendship.
    So as far as the kidney stone, I went home after my emergency room visit and still had pain, bearable pain.  It got a little better for a few hours, then got worse towards 11pm at night.  I took some pain medication and was able to sleep for a while.  I woke up mother's day morning and the pain was gone! Best mother's day present ever! I went to church, just sacrament and felt a lot better, later that night the stone passed and I was done with it.  During the ultrasound the tech saw another kidney stone hanging out in my kidney and someday it might decide to make its descent, something to look forward to :(.
     For now I am just grateful to not have that pain of a kidney stone, but it reminded me of how things in October will be when boy #2 joins our family.  At least with that kind of pain it peaks and fades a little and you get a precious angel in the end.
