Hey everyone,
Last last week has been really crazy for me, and my family.

I have been fighting off a UTI for the last month. On Thursday night of last week I started feeling VERY sharp pains in my lower back, and my right side of my stomache.. They got so bad during the night I was rushed to the hospital.
They took me up to the maternity ward, and they got me to take a urine test. Turns out my urine was full of blood. They Told me that I had a UTI that had spread to my right kidney.
I was hooked up to an IV, and they took about 4 viles of blood to do blood work on.
They hooked me up to a monitor to read the babys heart rate, turns out I was having slight contractions. They got pretty worried about the baby coming early, so they pumped me full of morphine to stop the pain, and gave me a drug through Iv to stop the contractions.
I was in the hospital for a total of four days/nights hooked up to IV, the whole time.
Well they let me out of the hospital on Monday morning, and sent me home with some oral drugs.. I goto the Doctors tonight for another consult.. Hopfully my infection is totally gone..I will be so dissapointed if the infection returns after I am done my meds. So please wish me luck

.
If the infection comes back I will remain in hospital till the baby comes.. Lets hope it doesnt come to that.

I got my boyfriend to take some pics of my belly yesterday,
Hope you all enjoy!!! I am currently 33 weeks, and weigh 164lbs. (I have gained 34 lbs through out my whole pregnancy)

I am glad you are feeling better too, UTI's seem to be very common in pregnancy, i too had the same problem carrying one of my children,so keep a check on that and hopefully you will not get another.

Do you know what baby is, i reckon it's a boy, why do i say that, lol, because you seem to be carry quite low,as i did with my son, of course i have a 50/50 per cent chance of getting it right eh.

Keep well,and look after yourself.
