What a day...

At about 8:30 this morning Leslie called me and told me she was having bad cramping pains. She called the women's center at NRH, and they told her to drink a TON of water for an hour, and if the pain continued, to come in.

Well, they did, so we did. Even in her pain, I rushed over at about 9:30 to get her, and she was still standing in her room teaching... Ugh that woman is stubborn :)

Anyway, we headed to the hospital, and found the nurse that we remembered so well with Emily (before Emily was born, we frequented the hospital because of Leslie's high blood pressure, being on bed rest, etc.), so she got us hooked up in the triage unit and began close observation. Sure enough, Leslie was having contractions, and they were getting worse. Not only that, they found blood in her urine, and her blood pressure was way up. I'm sure you can imagine my calmness throughout all of this...

So, they started and IV on her and started pumping fluids through her. She had an ultrasound, and then Dr. Anderson came in and told us she had kidney stones. The problem with that is, kidney stones could lead to more contractions, which could lead to labor...

So, fun day today. Things are calm now, much less pain. I'm holding up the fort at home, Emily's with Grandma Glenda and Papa David, and Leslie's stuck in the hospital for a little bit longer.
