As my pregnancy progresses, I quickly learn that I don't have the best luck. I have had a lot of cramping lately, but started having terrible cramping around midnight last night. It made me feel like I couldn't breathe at times. I thought maybe stress and other factors were getting to me so I waited to call my doctor until this morning. Of course, Dr. Jones wanted me to get to the office immediately. When I got to the office, he did a full exam along with blood work and a urinalysis. It turns out that I have kidney stones. While they will not be fun to pass, it is one of the better things that could have caused the cramping. (I'm trying to look on the bright side!) I was running a slight fever so there is still the fear of appendicitis, but it seems unlikely since the urinalysis came back signaling kidney stones. Now I simply have to drink a lot of water and wait this thing out. I'm hoping for a quick passing!
On a positive note, baby celly started kicking this past week. At first it felt like little air bubbles, but the real kicks began last night. I was able to feel the kicks with my hand on the outside of my belly. While this is a really neat experience and it's fun to finally have confirmation that the baby is moving around, I'm not sure how I feel about it. Honestly, it feels like an alien is taking over my body. I think baby Musselman is practicing kickboxing in my belly! He/she is very active.
