Baby update, and a prayer request.

So today I am 25 weeks and 4 days. Next week I have my glucose test and we will be on the downhill slide for sure. I am due in a little more than 3 months! I cannot belive that!

So on July 4 I woke up and I was having some pain in my ribs on the right side. I just though maybe I slept funny. We went on with our day and went to the movies and I got worse and worse, I was in horrible pain and contemplating telling Sam that we needed to go to the hospital. At the end of the movie I was hurting but thought maybe I needed to eat. We ate dinner and headed home. I moaned and groaned the whole time. I was still going back and fourth about going to the hospital, but I figured it was something with a rib and there wouldn't be much anyone could do for me anyway. I decided to tough it out and call my dr first thing in the morning. As I was getting into bed I was in complete agony and tears were rolling down my face, Sam asked again if I wanted to go to the ER but I kept telling myself that I didn't want to pay 400 dollars for something that I could pay 50 if I could just wait to see my dr. (stubborn I know) So when I woke up Tuesday I called my doctor and I was shocked when they told me to head to the hospital and go to labor and delivery. Apparently what I described could have been a gall bladder attack!! I had no idea! So I was admitted and hooked up to an IV and given pain killer and they did an ultrasound. After about 4 hours in the hospital, to our relief I was not having gallbladder issues. My doctor decided it was most likely a "muscoskelton" issue. Rib out of place most likely. I was put on bed rest for four days. By Saturday I was able to get up and move around and Monday I got to come back to work. It was really painful but I am so glad it wasn't something more severe, and Rowan was just fine the whole time.

In other news, please pray for my friend Candice. She just learned yesterday that she has Lymphoma. She is young and strong and has a great support of family and friends, but every prayer counts.
