Emergency Room Visit #3

Well, we'd never been to the emergency room before last month and now we've been 3 times! The first was Weston's abdominal pain (turned out to be gas :), the second was Mike being hit by the truck, and yesterday I went to the ER with abdominal pain (not gas). Luckily, my parents had just arrived in town, so my dad was able to take me while my mom stayed with the kids. Mike met me there as soon as he was able (I told him not to leave work, but he didn't listen to me). They did several tests and weren't able to figure out what was wrong, but apparently they were satisfied it wasn't anything serious (it might have been a kidney stone?). They did an ultrasound, which showed everything was normal with Snoopy Peanut. In fact, Snoopy seemed quite happy lounging around sucking his/her thumb :) They were also able to give me something for the pain, but not until I'd been there about 3 hours (the ER was busy and there were only 2 doctors there). After about 6 hours we finally headed home. It seems to be a big mystery! I'm just praying it doesn't come back (I've had a bit of the same pain today) and it's nothing serious.
I'll attach the photo of Snoopy sucking his/her thumb. It's kind of cute. I'm 13 weeks along now, so almost out of the first trimester.
