Here's My New Drama

Scarlet seemed like she had stopped moving as much as she should have. I went to a regular scheduled doctor's appointment on Tuesday and he had me do a non stress test. It came back just ok. So he scheduled me for another one Thursday. It came back good. I still didn't feel good about it though. If it was good, why wasn't she moving? My wonderful doctor scheduled an ultra sound for Friday afternoon. As soon as the probe hit my stomach I could see a large black spot. The nice tech set down the prob and practically ran to find the doctor. They determined that Scarlet's bladder was swollen to 10 times it's normal size. It is taking up her whole abdominal cavity. All of her urine is also backing up into her kidneys. My amniotic fluid was way too low, so I was sent off to the hospital to spend the night and get fluids. We were all hoping that she would empty her bladder, and that would help fill everything up.
I was there for 24 hours and nothing had changed. With a very heavy heart I was admitted to Sunrise Hospital in Vegas. I have kind of had a horrible experience her. My high state of anxiety has given me contractions all night and they just barely decided to give me something to stop them. I have been waiting for a specialist to come and check things out for 15 hours and she has yet to make an appearance. I have had 2 hours of sleep since yesterday at 6am. All I do is lay away and pray/beg/plead/ and barter for Scarlet to please empty her bladder and we can go from there. I'm greasy, ugly and exhausted. I'm frustrated and ready to rip this IV out of my arm and march out of here, hospital gown and all. Do they really have to open in the back? Really?
I'm feeling pretty sorry for myself, and vowing to never ever get pregnant again. If I decide I want another child, I will just pay someone to carry it for me!! It's a bad economy!! I bet someone would be interested!!!
I will update later when I know what is officially going on.

Oh dear Miss Ashley...
I am so sorry. Hospitals are bad enough when you are there to bring home a baby... not to deal with problems. I will be praying and thinking about you and Miss Scarlet. So sorry for the distress you are feeling... hugs to you both.
