Hospital Trip

On Friday night I went to the hospital with a lot of kidney pain. I'd felt it a few months before then but this time it was much more intense. I was throwing up from the pain. While at home Chris was trying to get stuff ready for us to go. I was just thinking it would somehow be a quick ER trip so I told him that all I needed was shoes and my coat. He was surprised by that and started stuffing things like toothbrushes, underwear, clothes and such into a bag. I thought he was crazy. Needless to say I was glad we were prepared to stay a few days.
We drove out to the women's hospital ER because is was about midnight and the main doors would be closed. They wheeled me up to the high risk pregnancy wing to check in and get whatever it was that I needed. If you've spent time in the hospital you know it takes a long time for them to get you settled in and treating you. So I was laying there in pain, probably screaming at everyone, and throwing up from the pain. Chris says that I was being pretty wacky and saying crazy things.
In January I was admitted to the hospital with kidney stones. It was inconclusive whether or not I had or passed them then. The ultrasound they took of my kidney did not indicate stones and I didn't find anything in my urine. We decided that it was Hydronephrosis, water on the kidney. Caused my my uterus pressing against my ureter, blocking urine from leaving the kidney. 
After suffering much pain they gave me an IV with fluid and another PCA with Morphine. It seemed to take an eternity to start working. The pain started in my back at my kidney and came forward to my lower abdomen. I just laid there holding onto the bed and Chris' hand to get through the shooting pain gritting my teething and moaning the whole time. Chris gave me a priesthood blessing which I am so grateful for.
Early Saturday morning while straining my urine, I found something strange and had the doctor take a look at it. He told us it was nothing just mucus and blood from the struggle of the night before. I was still curious about it so I kept it in the strainer for further inspection. After a while I decided to pick it up to verify earlier comments. It was solid and turned out to be a kidney stone. The stone was about 1/2 centimeter in diameter and everyone seemed to think it was rather large for a kidney stone.

While at the hospital the "on call" doctor check to see how I was progressing. He told us that I was dilated to a 1 and 90% effaced. The docs were concerned so I was given a shot of steriods so that  if the little one came early her lungs would be developed. We ended up staying the night Saturday going through the day with virtually no more pain and leaving Sunday morning of the second dose of steroid.
We went to our doctor appointment on Thursday morning and our doc says that he would be happy if we made it to 36 weeks. That freaked me out because I am now 34 weeks along. I doubt she will come in the next two weeks but there is always that chance. It's a great thing that we were able to go to the hospital and get checked otherwise we might not have got the steroid shot in time.
Am I ready for what is about to take place?
