What do you get when you mix broken glass, a hand & lots of blood??? ...... STITCHES!!! Yep, I busted a favorite glass bowl of mine, while trying to be "Mother of the Year," making homemade pancakes for my kids! Luckily for my OCD sake, it was in the sink & didn't go everywhere else. So, I loaded my kids in the car, dropped them at Gma's & drove myself to my awesome Doctor. Those who know me well, are thinking "what in the world- you went by yourself?!" I am one tough chick :) That, & Jason was in Cedar. I was a brave girl, but that numbing needle hurt like a Mother! I asked Dr. Thompson if it was supposed to go clear through my hand. He laughed, & told me it just felt like it. Five stitches & a tetonous shot later, I was good to go! The worst part is where I sliced it open- it is in between my ring finger & middle finger. Trying to keep that bad boy dry, is a nightmare- & it stings like nobody's business when I try to extend my hand- which is my left one.... & guess whose left handed-- Nailed it.....ME!
*sorry to those massages I've had to cancel for the next 10 days*
After the trauma of that day, I had 2 Doctor's appointment for my pregnancy: one with the Perinatologist Freddie Gonzalez :) & one with my OB Dr. Lunt. My baby girl is looking healthy & measuring about 3lb. 1 oz. She needs to pack on the pounds in the next 5 weeks in time to arrive! Although, there is not much more room. She is currentley hanging out- head under my right ribs, back wrapped a little below my left ribs, bottom, legs & arms just above the right side of my c-section line. Now, I know why the one side is uncomfortable- & she doesn't want to budge. If feels like she is trying to karate chop me out the right side of my body & get into my back! Simmer down girl, there will be lots of gymnastics, dance, karate down the road :)
To top off all the fun at doctor's offices, I found out I have a hernia on the right side above my crotch! That's what the pain is- Lovely huh? - & they tell me I will have to have surgery after she is born! I'm thinking can't we just do it the same time as my C-Section??? Apparently not!
I'm ready to have a nervous breakdown............
