....My c-section is scheduled for June 15th!
I'm excited and nervous. It seems like it is just around the corner, and it really is, and I'm sorta feeling unprepared for it all. I can't wait to see our little girl, but wow---thinking about that being only 5 weeks away seems like there's hardly any time!
Now, just pray for me to not go into labor before that---the doctor says that that could be a pretty good possibility....but we don't want her to be that early cause she's not done cookin' in there!!

Bryan has a Masters degree!
Last weekend, Bryan graduated with his Masters degree! This isn't the "final" degree, as he'll keep going (23 more credits) for a Master of Divinity. The degree he got last weekend will allow him to get a pay raise with the school district, and when he's ready to get the Master of Divinity, he will turn in the degree he has now for that one. The Master of Divinity will allow him to pastor somewhere. Woo hoo! Here are some pictures from the celebration. I am so proud of him!!

O, the trials
My pregnancy, although it has been an amazing experience of growing a child within me, and feeling the joys of that, has been extremely physically challenging.
Last night I was released from the hospital after being in there Tuesday night and all day Wednesday and into the evening. I have never had to stay overnight at the hospital so this was quite an experience.
On Sunday I was having severe abdominal pain all day and that night, I went to the bathroom and without too many details, found blood. Bryan and I were of course really concerned, so we rushed into the ER and were told that I probably had a kidney stone. They sent me on my way and on Tuesday night I began feeling excruciating pain, which was when we rushed into the ER again. This time the pain was the worst I have ever experienced in my life. Like ever. They gave me morphine, which didn't help, then another shot of morphine, which didn't really help. Then the morphine began affecting my stomach, and I started throwing up.
Around 3am, Bryan left to go get a few hours of sleep and go to work the next morning and my mom came and stayed with me in the hospital room from early Wednesday morning and into the evening.
(P.S. My mom ROCKS.)
Come to find out, after having 2 ultrasounds, they found that I had an enlarged kidney, filled with fluid. Sometimes this can be a common thing in pregnancy, as the ureter, which is an artery that travels from underneath the uterus to the kidney, can become pinched/clogged due to the growth of the uterus in pregnancy. And since my fibroid is in there too, that could have caused some extra pressure.
So, all day yesterday, with an AMAZING team of nurses, I was kept highly medicated to try to manage the pain I was experiencing. Finally, after not sleeping for almost 40 hours, around 6pm I started to feel more like myself and at 11pm they let me go home.
I am home recovering now, thanking God that he began taking away some of this pain. I feel pretty good today, and haven't taken any pain pills! I am hoping not too, as my poor baby got drugged up pretty good yesterday. :(
Alas, this pregnancy has thrown me something constantly, it seems. I am thankful for this experience that God has given me though to trust in Him and to be thankful for this baby he has given Bryan and I.
Only 9 more weeks to go.
