Manic Monday

Yeah, I know it's Tuesday but yesterday was so nuts, I have to share. Oh, wknd was good...overnighter with H&H was relaxing and lazy...loved it! Rest of wknd was restful...except for the girls waking at night...ugh!

Anyway, yesterday was a freaky day for sure. L is usually very good to sleep during the day. She woke very early...3:40...UGH! I had her back in bed by 5 and she slept till 8. Fed her and played with her and E. After that, I could barely get her down for an hour for the rest of the day. And she was no better with MIL at night. Anyway, she finally went to bed around 8:30. I woke her at 11 for her feed. Just when I was about to sit her up for a burp...she spit up all over herself. So bad that I had to strip her off, give her a sponge bath, redress and feed her again. Made for a long, tiring evening...esp. since I didn't get a nap during the day. Fortunately, she (and all of us) slept in this morning. Caused for a bit of a rush getting E & DH out the door but they made it none the less.

If that wasn't freaky enough, I was having a very bad day. In December after I gave birth, I had a strange attack one day. Like a cramping pain just below my boobs that went all the way around to my back. Well, in the midst of yesterday's ciaos of L having a gas attack, and E "singing" (screaming), I had another one of these attacks...2 actually. I called DH thinking he may have to come home. I worried it might be a heart attack although it didn't feel like it was up that high. I was scared I'd pass out so I had DH on the phone in case. The first attack lasted 5 or more mins...the second much shorter. After the second, I made an appt. with the on call dr. last night. He thinks it's my galblatter. He put a referal in for me to have an ultrasound. Scary stuff...but not a heart attack...phew!

I called mom cause she had her gb out when she was 37. She said that's what it sounded like to her. As far as she knows, it's common to happen after child birth because the organs and squished so much. I'm a fairly good eater...not a lot of fried foods...just an over eater of good stuff and sweets. But I'm sure years of abuse doesn't help the situation. I know the procedure for removing your gb is much better than when mom had hers out. She has a 5" scar on her stomach. My friend from home had hers out probably 5 years ago (Lynne) and she has 2 little puncture marks where they sent 2 long instruments in (like they use in gastric bypass). If I have to get it done, that's what I hope they'll be able to use. I should get the ultrasound in a month he said so it's a waiting game till then. Just reallly glad I have a good idea of what it was and the mystery is gone.

Well, L is down for her first nap so I should rest too...just in case she doesn't later. Oh, and the oil maintenance guy is coming...and you know he'll be here during naptime...it's always the way. Shay: hope you're enjoying the sunshine!!! Bring some of that warm weather back with you!! And some rum for me!!! I'll pay ya back. :)
