What's next?

Today was a very scarey day. I went to the bathroom at work and there was blood in my urine...and a LOT of it! I wasn't 100% sure where it was coming from and it freaked me out. I called Dr. Adkins and they got me in right away. Brian met me there and I was happy that he came because I was extremely nervous and he helped ease the anxiety. They took cultures and a urine sample from me. When I peed in the cup it was dark red, and I just started to cry...what is wrong with me?!

I don't know much more than that as of now. They did say that there was no blood in the birth canal, and the baby was doing just fine with a heartbeat of 156bpm. That was a relief. I am going back tomorrow for my gender sonogram and while I am there they will also do a sonogram of my kidneys to check for kidney stones. The cultures won't come back until Friday, so I will go back Friday morning to get the results. Depending on what is causing the bleeding, I may be sent to a specialist Friday afternoon.

We are very excited to find out the sex tomorrow, but at the same time I am still worried about what's wrong with me. I feel like I've done something wrong and it is effecting my baby.
