Pain

Today I was awoken by a sharp constant pain in my lower stomach.

it felt strangely like a contraction.

a long hard never breaking or ending contraction

the only difference was my uterus does not take up my whole body but it was pretty obvious where the pain was being felt.

it was hard and painful and I found myself trying to breathe through the pain

Drew had worked until very late last night so I really didn't want to wake him

but then just as I thought it couldn't get worse

it did

and then it got worse and worse and worse

I woke drew with my sobbing and told him I was going to try and get in some hot water

I ran my tub (while I was doubled over) and climbed in and honestly I can't describe the degree of pain..

to be completely honest 

it felt like either I was having a misscariage or my Iud had gone though my fallopian tube and ruptured something

but there was no blood so I was baffled.

something in my head said to me

"you either need a blessing right now or you need to go to the hospital right NOW"

side note: for those of you who don't know. the worthy men in our church are given the priesthood and have the ability to give blessings. Usually for a blessing of healing you're supposed to have 2 priesthood holders present I think... but we had no time and I'm sure heavenly father understood.

Drew got dressed and gave me a wonderful blessing in which I was told that the pain would subside slowly and that it would leave no long term effects.

 (and also how i was doing a wonderful job at being a mom to porter)

Immediately afterwards the pain was lessened. It still hurt and if I got out of the fetal position it would all come back. slowly but surely it started going away.

Porter woke up and even though it felt like I would probably horribly injure myself I stood up and went to his room and just crawled in his crib (yup I'm awesome like that)

I curled up next to him while he crawled over me 

and then eventually I was ok enough to take him out and make him breakfast

then I was fine

my muscles are pretty sore

but I am so thankful that I have such a wonderful husband who holds such a wonderful power

(it's ok if you don't believe in it, but I sure do)

I was also going to throw in there that pain is so weird because it can be mind blowing and make you scream out and cry and moan and once it's gone it's this weird memory almost like it didn't really happen.
