Thanks to everyone.. the power of prayer

Thanks to everyone for your prayers and kind words. I have seen the power of prayer work in my life before and thanks to all of you, it happened again. We aren't out of the woods yet, but I at least had a better report yesterday.
Here's what happened:
Sunday I woke up feeling pretty crappy so I go to sacrament meeting and I am just feeling worse and worse while sitting there. I then think that I can go try to go to Relief Society, boy was I wrong. I had the worst cramping I have ever had and my back was making it so that I couldn't even walk. So I came home and tried to take a nap for a while. When I woke up, I was in in so much pain that I didn't know what to do. I just was thankful that I was going to be seeing my doctor Monday morning.
So I go to my appointment and I am telling him all of my symptoms. He thinks that it is either a kidney infection, a bladder infection, the start of a kidney stones or just regular pregnancy pains. In my mind, I am thinking... it's me, so of course it is going to be the worse case scenario. So he does a work up of me with blood and a UA ad says that he needs to do an ultrasound to see how the baby is. So he is looking and is all "she is a lot bigger than she should be right now. Let's get you back and do another non-stress test." So I go get hooked up to the machine and he comes in and is looking at it and says that she isn't responding how he wants her to. His words were "She's reactive but not reassuring." My heart sunk. So he leaves the room and comes back in with the zapper to try and stimulate her and then comes back in a little while later and told me that I either need to go eat something and come back and have the test done again, or come back tonight to L & D or come back first thing in the morning to L & D and have the test done. So me and my mom leave and we decide that I will go eat and come back in case I need to also come have in done the next day also.
So I get back to his office and I get all hooked back up to the machine and wait around for him to come in. Again, she is reactive but reassuring. I kept thinking to myself I better not lose this baby at 7 months. What sort of crap is that? I have been doing everything that I should! So he comes back in and says that I need to come back to L & D and have another test done by Wednesday and then we will decide where to go from there, since he is going to be out of town.
So I get a call the next morning from his nurse telling me that my blood work and UA cultures were negative and they don't know what is causing my illness.
So fast forward to Wednesday. Me and mom head to L & D, and what an ordeal that is! It is basically like I am checking in to give birth. Anyway, so I get asked a gazillion questions and hooked up to the non stress test machine and they prop me up on my side and then I just lay there for at least an hour or more.... it was a LONG time. So they watch it and the R.N. comes in and is looking at it and says that she is going to try and get a hold of my doctor and if not she will call the doctor on call and tell him what she has found. So after about another 30 minutes or so she comes back in says that my baby looks awesome and that I can go home. WHAT A FREAKIN RELIEF!!! Those are the words I have needed to hear for the last 3 days.
So all in all, she is doing pretty good. I have been feeling her move and that is a relief in my mind. So I just want to THANK ALL OF YOU for all of your prayers. It means the world to me. I am sure that I have prayed more in the last few days that I have my entire life combined and that is my experience of the power of prayer.
THANKS AGAIN AND I LOVE YOU ALL FOR CARING SO MUCH!!!

Just when everything was going good....

BAM! my doctor is concerned about the baby. I can't really write a lot about it right now because of my emotions. I will write more later after I have some more tests run and I talk to my doctor on Wednesday and find out what the next plan of action is. All I am asking is for prayers... and lots of them.

Who is smarter? Kevin by far. When he was younger he would read encyclopedias and dictionaries. At least I can spell better than him.
Who controls the T.V. remote? Me!! But since living with my parents we watch t.v. apart so we can both control what we watch.
Whose temper is worse? I take the cake on that one... I am a Creager and that is what we are known for.

For Katie & MO

I have to write and thank Katie and MO for such a fun time. They really know how to pick a girl up when I was so hurt and crying all week. And they really know "how to pick a girl up" too, if you catch my drift. WINK WINK NOD NOD. So thank you for the few hours of nothing but fun (and letting me rant a little) and then back to more fun. Thank you for the advice and the encouragement and letting me eat all the popcorn! BABY LIKEY THE POPCORN!! It was nice to just go out and have my mind on other things than what it has been on for an entire week. SO THANKS LADIES! I can never repay you. And on "the scale of 0 - 10" you are both 0's!! HA HA... next time lets where our old prom dresses or flip our collars up and have a blue tooth in each ear!! SHEOWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!
