can't we just leave it??!!??...

hello friends. hope you had a wonderful weekend. mine was fun filled, seeing friends, bbq, birthday party....oh wait...it was SUPPOSED to be...until my appendix decided it needed outta my body on friday! grrr...

i went to the dr friday at 1pm cuz my side was sore...i could still function. dr looked at me for about 10 min, sent me to get an ultrasound, 1:30pm...dr slowly walks back in..."yeah, it's not good...you have appendicitis and need to get it out tonight. let me find a surgeon".

wait...WHAT...MINE?....my actual response "can't we just leave it till january?"..."nope it needs out now"..."what can i do between now and the hospital that will heal it??"...."nothing". bummer. so off we went. hospital for surgery.

had surgery in the evening. spent friday and saturday night at the hospital and came home today. crazy crazy crazy.

baby is great. at least my appendix thought of the health of my child...2nd trimester is the most ideal to have surgery...if it is needed. still, just a small thanks for that appendix. we truly aren't friends anymore.

so that anticipated, super fun weekend i had planned...down the drain! i spent it with surgeons, dr's, nurses, hospital food, a lovely hospital gown (and robe...ssswwweeeeettt!!), tons of apple juice....and my wonderful hubby! :)

my dr said this pregnancy needs to be boring from here on out. i can handle that.

since i am keeping stats for my child...here is a new one.

first surgery: ~4 months BB (before birth)

OH Lindsey that's terrible!! I'm so glad you and the little one are okay but what a disappointing way to spend your weekend :( I hope too that the worst part is over and the rest is going to be a piece of cake!! :)
