Hospital Update

Today I am way more with it than yesterday so here is my update...I ended up having my gall bladder removed yesterday and the doctors did the laparoscopy procedure where i had some incisions in my abdomen and with the aid of a tiny camera they were able to removed the gall bladder that is a lot less invasive to both baby and myself that just cutting me open, more or less. But I was out for the whole thing which was great! I am still recovering from that today, pretty sore though, but I will also have another procedure in a couple of hours to put a stint in where the gall stones are stuck. Anyway, I will get that part removed after baby is born so it wont be damaging to the baby. I will hopefully get released from the hospital tomorrow. Your prayers are still greatly appreciated!!

ER Visit

Once again Pat took me to the ER...well twice. The first one was on Sunday- I had stomach cramps, back pain and non pregnancy vomiting...I had to make sure the baby was doing okay. Then they discharged me late that night, and then I had to come back again Tuesday evening because of chest pain and some breathing problems. Well to make a long story short, I'm sitting here in the hospital bed after about 24 hours. This time I was Finally admitted (not that it's a good thing but I have gone so many times to the ER in the past and they never found anything so they would just sent me home). Anyway, after many, many tests such as xrays, ultrasounds, a ct scan, and a MRI, they determined that I am having problems with my gall bladder and I have some gall stones that seem to have passed already, but will probably happen again. The doctor's suggest that I get my gall bladder removed but if my blood tests aren't too bad tomorrow morning, they want to wait until after I have our baby in July. If it's bad enough they want to do it tomorrow :o/ Ive never had any type of surgery before so I am REALLy nervous about what they will say. I also just started a new job at a Primrose School (being a teacher assistant in a private kindergarten class) and already had to "call in sick", but at least it was for a good reason. That's all I know for now but will find out shortly... :o/ Please keep me in your prayers!!!

Check Up

Today I had my second check up on our baby and sounds like he or she is doing just fine :o) I am 14 weeks along and feeling much better than I have been, which is great! I'm so excited to say that we get to find out the sex two days after Valentine's day....so will it be pink again, or will we move on to blue??? (Here's also an updated pic of the belly)
