A lot has been going on since my last post. Last week, I think Thursday, I started having some really bad back pain which I thought may have been a kidney stone or something of that nature. Thursday night I called the drs. office and she told me just to drink lots of water and take some pain meds if needed. I took some and made it through the night. The next day the pain came back, so I called the dr. again, just to make sure I didn't need to come in, b/c my next appt wasn't until today. They agreed again, it was probably just a kidney stone, just drink water.
The weekend went by and the pain kind of went away. Sunday night I was having really bad pain in my lower pelvis and about 3 Monday morning the back pain started again. I was supposed to sub, but I didn't feel like it so I called and told them I wouldn't be in. I called the drs. office at 9 hoping they would call back fast. I guess by now they thought I was just a big hypo, but they always say trust your instinct if you think somethings wrong, it probably is. Finally, about 1:30 I had to call again b/c they STILL had not called me back. I'm a little aggravated by this! They told me to come in at 3:30 to see the nurse practitioner. I got there and since they squeezed me in I didn't even go back until after 4. My blood pressure was up and going crazy. I knew it would probably be up b/c I was in pain. With my first kidney stone they couldn't even find one. I had tried to get Carmon to go w/ me to the dr. b/c I just had a feeling something wasn't right. He was trying to finish the baby's room though so I told him I would be okay. The NP came in and did some routine stuff and then told me she had to go talk to my dr. I wasn't really thinking then I guess. She came back in and told me that I had to go the hospital for some blood work and a non-stress test on the baby b/c of my bp. Great! (If they just would have called back they could have done it all at the office!!!) I called Carmon and he met me over there.
We got back in the room about 6 and they hooked me up to the monitor and all that fun stuff. My blood pressure keeps going up, and the pain is gone. Luckily there are no other signs of toxemia, but even worse I start having contractions! I'm only 35 weeks now, if it was 37 I wouldn't care. They kept getting closer together and at one point they were only a minute and a half apart! They ended up giving me a shot and lots of fluids. My contractions luckily stopped and I got to come home. I am officially dilated to a 1 though. I don't think baby Camden is going to make it until June.
I'm on unofficial bed rest so I'm gonna post more later today, but for now its sleepy time!

Dang girl, glad to hear everything is okay though. I had Kacie at 35 weeks too. I was in labor for about 2 days and didnt know it. I have a pretty high tolerance for stomach pain apparently becuase I thought I was just 'cramping' so I waited adn then they sent me to the hospital to give me the shot to stop my labor but when I stood up to go to the restroom my water broke. I hope everything goes really smooth for you. I didnt even realize that you were this close...it just kinda snuck up on me. keep us updated.
Take it easy! Hope you feel better soon and that he can wait for a few more weeks!
Thanks guys, I'll keep you updated since you don't have your myspace accts anymore...Whats up with that!?
