Updates

Well, I haven't been on the blog for about a week now so here is the story behind that. I last updated the blog when we were on our way up to Chicago for a much needed Valentine's vacation. We had a wonderful time, ate a ton of great food and stayed at the fabulous Pheasant Run Resort in St. Charles, IL. Excellent place to stay and they have an amazing spa. I got the 25 minutes good to go treatment and I will be getting another one very soon! Now for the depressing part...

As I was sleeping on Tuesday morning around 3:30a.m. I woke after feeding my daughter and had some pain in my lower back, around my side and in my lower abdomen. We called Jeremy's mother in law to meet and get the kids and headed to the hospital. Now just to put this in perspective, I am not a wimp when it comes to pain(afterall, I did deliver a 10lb baby!) I was in so much pain, I almost called the ambulance. If I would not have had the kids, I would have, but I didn't want to scare them. My son was freaked out as it was. So, 45 minutes after leaving home we arrived at the hospital(meanwhile, the pain has magically disappeared). We go in anyway, b/c nothing should cause pain like that! After 4 hours in the er, they determined that it was a ovarian cyst that burst and I was free to go home with the morphine that they decided to give me for pain. I was out Tuesday and Wednesday to try and shake the morphine side effects. By the way...no one will ever give me that stuff again...horrible! I am fine now. I have a little back pain from the event, but nothing compared to that morning. Here's hoping that none of you ever have to have one of those...I would rather have un-medicated labor!!
