Appendix is outta there!!

I know that just about everyone who reads this knows, but in case you don't Ill fill you in. 2 weeks ago today I had my appendix removed. I went into the hospital with pains around 3:00. They discovered that I was having contractions, stopped them, and sent me home. Around 11:30 that night something did not feel right, so we were back in the hospital. They could not figure out what was wrong with me, but I knew something was not right and I refused to leave till they told me what was going on. They moved Jason and I into a delivery room (which was BEAUTIFUL!) and continued tests on me all night and Jason slipped in and out of sleep on the pull out couch. At 7:30 am a doctor came into my room, poked around a bit and said I needed to have my appendix out. I was FLIPPING out!! Jason made some phone calls, and mom was waiting with Jason in pre op when I got there. I chose to take the spinal and be a awake for the surgery since it was the best thing for the baby. I woke up in recovery feeling sore and ready to see how the baby was.
I was in the hospital for 3 days before I was released. The babies heartbeat never dropped, and he kicked so much after the surgery was over. The pain killers did not affect him at all. I am back at work today for the first time and I'm still a little sore. But all I can do is thank God everyday for getting me and the baby through this surgery, both healthy, and stronger.
Jason has been a saint through it all. He makes sure that I am comfortable and has helped me out with everything from phone calls to my many Monday errands. I feel so blessed to have him in my life.
