Sunday - 8/12 WONDERFUL day at the zoo with family!
Monday - 8/13 marked James and I being together for 7 years!! We started dating on Friday August 13th, 2005 :-)
Tuesday - 8/14 Ate some delicious sweet corn on the cob. And was too lazy and left the cob on my plate, on our end stand. And went to bed.
Wednesday - 8/15 Dog pukes. Three times. Looks weird. But don't think anything of it. THEN dog pukes when gone. And guess what it looks like? Corn cob. No joke. Find out it can cause blockage. Begin praying for poop.
Thursday - 8/16 Dog POOPS!! woohoo! And then throws up more cob, but food he ate stays down (thank goodness!) Vet says to keep an eye on him. Make sure eating, drinking, pooping, and not acting too lethargic. I also listened to bowel sounds and they were present every where I listened. Still praying on more poop (he hasn't since this morning).
THEN ready for this...I have had cramps and been thinking it felt a little weird down "there" today. After showering I go potty and feel down there. And by golly guess what...? My right labia is swollen. So I had to call in and now I have to go to the doctor tomorrow. That's right for a swollen crotch. So it is either from pregnancy in general or could be from hernia.
Just shoot me now. How embarrassing. I cannot do anything normal. Couldn't get pregnant without issues. Couldn't have normal reproductive parts. So it would be fitting to have crazy issues with this pregnancy.
So initially they wanted me to this (due to low pressure):
 |
| Prenatal Cradle |
 |
| Hip Brace |
NOW due to my freaking crazy body the doctor recommended this on the phone:
 |
| V2 Supporter |
 |
| Hip/V2 Combo |
OR
Shoot me now. Please. Really. It's like a female jock strap.
For a swollen crotch.
Due to pressure from little man.
So I had to call in. And lose 100 bucks, because I have a swollen labia. I looked at it in the mirror. Bad choice. Makes me afraid that my vajajay will never be the same at all. Gah!
At least little dude has been active so I know he is okay. And my fingers are not swollen. Although at this point, I might trade it for my swollen crotch....
I use the bella band for extra support and it is pretty good. I don't know if it would be enough to prevent swelling, though. I use it to prevent contractions when I am riding in the car because it keeps my belly from jiggling around so much. If I were still up and about, walking around, I might wear it every day all the time.
ReplyDeleteI love how all the women are smiling in those pictures but you know the women who have to actually wear the products are not smiling hahahaha
I am coming to terms with the fact that a female jock strap is in my future. And I still am going to buy a bella band for extra comfort I think and wear it underneath the torture device....*sigh*
DeleteOh my gosh! So sorry about all the craziness happening now. I hope you get better soon! Happy Anniversary :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa...I am feeling so down! Doesn't God think we had been through enough with ttc and loss? Evidently not!! I have cried several times today...bleck.
