Wow... it's been 10 weeks since I posted on here and that is just too long! This blog has become like my journal- I don't even care if no one reads it- I read it later and it makes me happy. To update the situation...I am HUGE. And I mean GARGANTUAN! My belly is so large I can no longer see my feet! I'm feeling the baby move a TON now. He stretches across my entire stomach and kicks me in the ribs more times a day than I can count. But with the baby in there and less room for all of my other important organs I've been in pain a lot. Long story short, my gallbladder is a retarded organ and decided to go and fill itself up with about 10 stones which fall into the bile duct on a fairly regular basis. My doctor thinks this has happened 5 times (mostly because I "forgot"/ didn't want to tell him about the other times) but actually it's happened 15 times with 3 of those being within the last 10 days. The doctor thinks that he wants to induce me a few weeks early so that I can have my gall bladder removed. I think it's best that he doesn't know that it's happened 15 times or he'd freak out at me for not having scheduled an appointment -to see the surgeon he recommended me to like 4 months ago- sooner. It's been a rough couple of weeks with my mom having surgery and then with having all sorts of stuff go on with me while she's here. I feel bad that she's had to witness my episodes because they really are pretty horrible for anyone watching. Anyways, I think I'm holding up pretty well considering, and I'm so relieved that the gall bladder problems aren't hurting the baby (I've asked my OB about 20 times just to be sure). I've been doing baby mama yoga which is helping my other little aches and pains and I've been going to the gym every other day which I LOVE! I can't believe it's already been 32 weeks! Only 8 (or 6?) to go! I'm getting REALLY excited for this little boy to arrive- although I don't have the room ready just yet. I've been looking at all sorts of baby stuff online and at Babies R Us and having fun buying cute Classic Winnie the Pooh stuff for his room. It's going to be a really cute room for him!
All things considered, I feel like life is pretty good right now and I'm just happy to be here and I'm so so SO happy to be waiting for this little boy. He's going to be such an amazing addition to our little family!
