Sick Sick Sick

Okay so as much as I want to enjoy this pregnancy, especially since this is my first. But so much for that fantasy. so far this pregnancy has been much harder then i ever expected it to be. The first trimester was the scariest because anything could happen to the baby and its just one of those things. So I held out faith that it was time for us to start our family and stayed very quiet about the fact that there was something growing inside me. I don't get morning sick really so it was pretty easy to hide it. Once we finally told my family we we're so excited to tell the world. Things seem to go pretty well until recently. I had a little congestion and a couple of colds but nothing that seemed unmanageable. Then the kidney stones, UTI, and Kidney infection. To date the total number of kidney stones is 7 the first two were unmanageable and i had to go to the ER. A gracious ER doctor gave me some pain medication so i could manage the kidney stones on my own. And with the pain meds and a warm shower they did become manageable and i have not had to go back to the ER (so grateful). Now its been almost 3 weeks since I've had a kidney stone episode. But along with the Kidney stones came another UTI. I thought I could just flush it out with water and cranberry juice but I was so wrong. So Monday morning i called the doctors office after struggling so badly with the symptoms I begged for medication. They were amazing and had me some medication within a couple of hours. With only one dose of medication I felt like a whole new person.

I'm so over being Sick though this pregnancy...I would have welcomed morning sickness if this is how to avoid Kidney stones, UTI, and other ailments. The depressing part is when i'm not preggo i rarely get sick I'm decently healthy so hears to hoping that things get better and i do get to enjoy the rest of this pregnancy.
