Unexpected Weekend - Good and Bad
So first of all, my camera has died. I know I can blog without pictures but pictures always make it more fun. We had an unlucky turn of events this last weekend. Friday morning I woke up with a huge pulsing pain in my abdomen. It was so bad that I called in a substitute to work for me (which, if any of you know me well, I avoid that at all costs, so it must of been bad). I woke Kyle up and he knew something was wrong. I finally was convinced that I needed to go to the instacare and was lucky enough to be one of the first patients in, which in itself is pretty amazing. So here is the good news that we weren't planning on telling til after the holidays but everyone knows now, so I thought I might as well blog it. Kyle and I are expecting. We are so excited. However with the pain I was having ,the instacare doctor thought that it might be an eptopic pregnancy and I was sent to my OB instantly. I hadn't even been in for my first appointment yet because we're only 7 weeks along but they did an ultrasound and the good news was that it wasn't eptopic but the baby was right were it was supposed to be. We even got to see the heart flutter. The ultrasound did show that my left ovary was huge, and that was what was causing the pain. I had a tumor like thing growing inside of my ovary which the doctors suspected has been there since birth but hasn't bothered me until now because my uterus started growing, due to the pregnancy, it pushed the ovary and it turned and twisted on itself causing the blood flow to the ovary to stop, hence the pain. They immediatley sent me to surgery in hopes they could save the ovary. They tried to untwist the ovary with a scope but in the end, they had to open me up, take out the ovary and take out the tumor like growth. Now you may wonder what was in it, since I've had it since birth and Kyle likes to think it was my mutant twin, because the tumor was full of hair, teeth, and other wierd like substances. Who knows what it really was but the mutant twin idea is fun to think about. I was in surgery for 4 hours and stayed overnight in the hospital. I was finally able to go home saturday night and I have had the best support. Visits from our families, flowers, etc. Kyle has been great is taking great care of me, also his mom and mine were able to stay with me for the past couple of days so he could go back to work. I'm still pretty sore, but I can move around now a little bit so I've been blessed. So there you go, We're pregnant and excited and we figured we will be due in July. There's a mouthful of our unexpected weekend.
