Well, never a dull moment in this pregnancy, huh?!  It turns out that the pain I was experiencing was not actual pre-labor contractions, but possibly kidney related.  I had blood in my urine, and so my doc says the pain could have been a small kidney stone that may or may not have passed.  So, I have meds for further pain, and drank more water today than should be humanly possible, to ‘flush me out.’ 

Baby is fine and hopefully will stay cooking inside me for several more weeks.  I feel blessed to have such a helpful hubby, and our good friends the Allens who watched our kids from 2:30 am on, and the sweet nurse Sherry, and that we were in and out of the ER in about 2 hours.
