Update

Turns out I actually had a ruptured appendix that was inflamed. I'm glad it was something acute and fixable. However, because of my pregnancy the surgery was not as straight forward as it typically is. It also turned out that the surgeon was concerned he would have to remove part of my bowel or colon (thankfully he didn't) and it took four liters of saline to wash out my abdomen. I was readmitted to the hospital twice over the last few weeks due to complications. I finally seem to be on the mend (knock on wood). I'm now 16 weeks along and the Nugget is such a trooper! Made it through everything with me in good health, as far as we know. I'm planning to restart my blogging soon, but it will probably be a little differently focused.

Hiatus

Hi all! I was going to wait to make this announcement for a week until I have my first ultrasound, but I am pregnant! Woohoo! My husband and I are super excited to welcome our baby later this year. My estimated delivery day is November 3rd, so I'm about 11 weeks along. Unfortunately the Nugget has been acting naughty already and I have hyperemesis gravidarum, which basically means I've been puking my guts out and having a hard time keeping down food. All is well, but I did have to go to the ER last night for IV fluids. Understandably, keeping up this blog is not my top priority right now. I'm hoping that my symptoms will recede as I move into my second trimester. I'm hoping to return after that. Likely with a little more focus on being a healthy mommy. Take care all!
