Some people have a lot of "gall"

Mommy probably won't be that person for very much longer though.  :(


Last night, Daddy and Mattie had to take me to the hospital.  I was really hurting and could hardly sit up straight.  We got to the hospital and they sent us to Labor and Delivery.  I was scared to death that I was going into early labor with you.  The pain was that bad.


Once we got there and had you on a monitor and Mommy on a monitor, it showed that I was NOT having contractions.  They kept telling me that it was probably my gallbladder and if it turns out to be that, I will have to have my gallbladder removed.  Maybe even before you get here.  Which is really scary.  I do NOT want an organ removed from my body that I could potentially need at a later date!


Your Gigi was out with a friend so poor Mattie had to stay at the hospital with me and Daddy.  It was all good though as he never goes anywhere with his cash stach and his box full of Star Wars action figures.


Finally, the hospital got in touch with our doctor and she said to go ahead and get blood and give me some pain medicine.  The nurse put an IV in and got my fluids going and then told me they were going to give me some medicine called Stadol.  WHEW!  I went to ask how long it would take to start working and got to exactly, "How long does iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii...." and apparently my eyes started rolling back in my head.


Gigi took this awesome moment in time to get home and call us back.  Daddy swears I talked to her, but I have no recollection of it.  Daddy then left me to snore happily pain free while he ran Mattie over to Gigi's house to spend the night.


When Daddy come back, I was VERY, VERY woozy and he was really happy about that as I didn't care that he switched the TV from my DIY channel to a sports channel and watched some type of football game.  :)  (I DO remember that!  LOL)


A few hours later, the nurse came back, said that after my blood work came back, they do think it's probably my gallbladder and we could go on home so we could both rest comfortably. 

You were pretty quiet in there after they gave me those pain meds but around 4am, you woke up with a vengence!  It was like you were in there stomping your feet saying, "Mommy!  Don't you ever drug me again!  That was horrible!"  I'm sorry, but I had to laugh.  You are a spunky little thing!  I LOVE it!
I did okay through the night but started throwing everything up this morning.  I don't know if it was a side effect of that pain medicine, my gallbladder, or I may even have stomach flu.  Either way, I'm feeling puny and I cried to Daddy about how tired I was of feeling sick.  :(  He just held me for a little while and then started saying silly things that made me laugh.  He's a good guy.


I go back to my doctor on Thursday for an ultrasound of my gallbladder.  Hopefully, they will let me have a little peek at you, too.  I love watching you play in my belly.  It is the most wonderful and amazing feeling.  It never gets old!


On the same day as that doctor's appoointment, Daddy and I are going to pre-register at the hospital for your arrival.  YAY!  We are SOOOOO excited.


As per your usual, you are just kicking up a storm in my belly!  I complain about all that activity sometimes, but yesterday when I was so sick and I couldn't feel you moving or even get you to move, I was petrified.  Later in the night when I finally started feeling your little kicks again was like feeling God hand me a gift directly from Heaven.


I love you so much, my little girl.  We all do.
