It's 7:51 pm and I'm in my PJ's

So I may have had a kidney stone. . . and maybe I didn't. The doctor wasn't too concerned so that means neither am I, right?


It hurt, like you know what.

I went to the hospital in good ol Muskegon and got an IV (2nd time in my life) and was hooked to a fetal monitor and also blood work and urine and I even threw up.

I didn't throw up when I went through labor with Grace.

So as you may guess, it was pretty bad.

My mom was threre the whole time and Eric was stuck in Saginaw waiting for my sister to call with the newest bits of info. (No cell phones in the Hospital)


I went home a bit apprehensive not wanting to leave with the pain, but there wasn't much they could do unless I went into labor, which of course, I didn't. Baby's still here, kicking me.

They gave me Moriphene in the hospital which I was assured was okay for the little one, and if I could have I would have taken a bottle home with me.

That stuff's gooooooood.

Well, I was fine until thursday of last week when the pain came back.

I fought though it and was fine the next day.


All I have to say is that if it was a kidney stone, I would rather have a baby, but don't tell Eric that. At least there's something to look forward to when you're pregnant.


Okay,


now a picture of Grace.

If you were ever unsure of her being mine this face might help.

Kara--I just found your blog and was reading through some of your posts. Congrats on the new baby! He's precious!

I also just had to share that I had kidney stones with both my pregnancies too. 6 with Jenna and 8 with Abby. I even had to had the kidney stone blasting surgery to get rid of them. Anyway . . . I completely agree--childbirth is way easier than kidney stones.

Here it is, the long awaited video from the arrival of our new "BIG" bed. I noticed that I'm breathing pretty hard in the video, it's because I was fighting a cold, not because I have that hard of a time walking up the stairs. Although Eric and Ben show signs of fatigue too, but they actually did the work... so here you go, I hope it makes you laugh a little.

If it's broke, fix it

Noah fractured his arm. Yes you're right, I felt horrible. At first I didn't know what to do. I ran with my crying baby up the stairs to the kitchen and called my husband. He didn't really know what to do either. I called the pediatrician. Appointment for the afternoon was made and Noah gradually got back into the swing of things, not using his arm like normal, but playing and pulling hair and eating like normal with his other arm. By the time we got to the pediatricians office I thought for sure she would say that it was probably just sprained and that he should take it easy. She told me she thought x rays would be a good idea and to go right away and they would call from the imaging office to let the pediatrician know what they saw. I called around for the cheapest x rays and went where it was 10 dollars cheaper per x ray, all the while thinking I didn't want to pay money for it to be nothing. Noah was doing well for having fell, not eaten very much and not having tak...

Revolutionary Road

What was I thinking? Leonardo, Kate. Titanic was a hit right? So I rented this movie, Revolutionary Road. We hadn't rented in a very long time and I thought, hey it's cheaper than going to see a movie, getting babysitters are expensive these days. Well, I knew it would be rough but I got it anyway. Eric was not happy. At one point he asked if he could have my headphones to listen to his laptop instead of the movie. I'll just say this. If you're at a point in your marriage were you could go one of two directions, one good, one bad, don't rent this flick! It's real, it's hard to watch. Luckily for Eric and I, we aren't at that place, we never have been and I hope we won't ever get there. Now, it's 4am and I'm sitting at the kitchen table with my little boy thinking, I really shouldn't have watched that movie because I could have gone to bed earlier in preperation for this night. If you have seen it, or you do let me know what you think.
