Lucky I'm in love with my best friend... Lucky to have been where I have been
I was excited that our anniversary and fathers day was falling on the same day this year. I thought I would be killing two birds with one stone. Who knew that stone would be so literal! Saturday I woke up with a horrible back and side ache and I soon knew I was having my second bout of kidney stones this pregnancy. But now that James is bigger and using my kidney for baby boxing practice the pain was pretty much completely UNBEARABLE and started to cause preterm contractions.So, I spent the day/night in the hospital and lay thinking that three years ago John and I were getting married. I thought our love was at its peak. At our wedding John saw me at my very best and now he was seeing me at my absolute worst! He spent the night cleaning up LOTS of throw up, sleeping in a very uncomfy hospital chair, and helping me and my iv bag to the bathroom every hour. But I felt like we love each other more than ever before. It sounds so cliche but I finally understand what old folks mean when they say they love their spouse tons more than they did on their wedding day. Having John by my side meant more to me than any anniversary pres. in the world and it made me glad that we get to grow old together.
Anyway, I am feeling lots better now but still popping the pills until I get everything out of my system. So I am going to go to a much happier place and work on posting my Alaskan vacay pictures. I think I might just post them ALL to keep my mind off it. Be forewarned when you read my commentary that I am highly medicated. Praise to the Percocet!

You poor poor girl. I am so sorry you were so miserable. I'm glad you have your man by your side. Love you girl, call me when you feel up to it.
Hi!! I cant believe you have gotten kidney stones during your pregnancy. Hang in there it is totally worth it, once you see the little one it makes all the rough times a little -less rough-
miss ya
I am so sorry to hear about the night in the hospital.. It is amazing what we go through to get our little babies here. I completely agree with your marriage comments. Time and some good trials really helps build a great love and marriage. Best of luck with everything. Let me know if there is anything that I can do for you!!!
Love you Jess.
Wow, you really are a trooper. I always admired that about you. Hey, when you are feeling better want to go to lunch?
Well said on several fronts. I agree with the growing in love through those moments. Dale's done some of those "clean up" jobs before! And I do love Percocet (when it's necessary and appropriate, that is!)
Glad you're doing better. Love you!
Glad to know that you are feeling much better--let's keep our fingers crossed through the rest of the pregnancy. We love John too!!
Tuesday works. I think I left a message on your cell phone today.
Oh this post made me tear up! I am so sorry that you are having kidney stones, yuck! I have heard that is worse pain than delivering a baby. And you get both in a few months time! Lucky you. ;) You are getting so close Jess! I am so excited for you. Let me know if you want to get out of teh house and go grab some lunch when you are feeling better. You and John have the cutest relationship. Just you wait: you won't even believe how close you will get to John when that little baby comes. It is magical!
Oh - that is so hard!!! I can't even imagine... makes sciatica seem like a walk in the park! :) It's so great to have such a supportive husband, huh? That is so true that you love each other more and more as time passes. Hope the rest of your pregnancy is better!
