Pre-birth Sympathy Pains!



Flashback picture! Different house, different hair-do, same pain! I think Someone was trying to remind me of what pain feels like before Tisha goes through labor in a few months. This bout with the kidney stones didn't seem to be as bad or last as long (I'm seriously hoping it's done!). I felt fine all day Saturday. I had a few friends helping me pour the concrete slab for our shed and felt good. After that we went food shopping and towards the end of that I started to feel weird, like maybe the chocolate milk I drank wasn't very good. After we got home and put everything away it just nailed me. Tisha was on the couch and I just went and laid next to her on the floor and told her I think it's happening again. She asked what, and I said stones. She was like, nooooooooooooooo!!! Anyway, It hurt pretty good for about two hours, then I was able to sleep through the night. I felt a little beat up and light headed so I stayed home from church. I did o.k. and felt no pain until about midnight. Tisha was sound asleep and I did good with not waking her up through my kidney stone labor pain breathing. I'm proud to say that after 45 minutes I gave birth to the little grain from hell! I really hope there are no twins waiting to come out. I feel fine today, but what a crappy last two nights!!!

Darren, I am cracking up while reading this because while we feel your pain, when one hears a phrase like "kidney stone labor pain breathing," "twins," etc., and looks at your picture, and come on, it's hilarious. Not for you, though, for us. I'm sorry to be so insensitive. You just did a great job of painting a picture of your male pregnancy pain :)

Yikes! You poor thing...sounds pretty intense. Let's hope you'll be the only one to give birth to something from hell.
