I
I dislike being in pain. I think most people would agree. That’s why I didn’t blog yesterday. Yesterday afternoon while at work I developed this pain in the lower left side of my rib cage. It’s not a sharp stabbing pain, just this pressure and ache that comes and goes in waves. It reminds me of when I was pregnant with Bella and she would move around in my rib cage.
So I was going to be a big girl and suck it up and wait it out, but today it started to get a bit worse, and since I already lost my gallbladder I don’t really want to play around with any more internal organs. So anyways, I made a doctor’s appointment and left work a little over an hour early so I could go to the doctor.
She felt around to see if my spleen was enlarged but she couldn’t feel anything, so I had to get a bunch of blood drawn for tests and they’re doing a pee test for something too. I should hear back tomorrow with the results. The doctor also gave me some Prilosec to take once a day to see if it helps.
So mom kept Bella tonight, and part of it has to do with me just needing to rest, but also she has just been so frustrating lately. I still haven’t been able to get her to take a bottle at night, and this morning she wouldn’t take one either. But she just crawls around and cries and acts hungry. So this morning I just got up and got all my stuff and went over to my parent’s house to get ready while my mom watched her. And of course when we get there, she eats some scrambled eggs and then drinks a full bottle. I just don’t know what’s going on with her. Does she just prefer solids over bottles now? Is she teething and not wanting a bottle? Is she staying full off of her food and just isn’t as hungry anymore? No idea but it’s frustrating. Maybe this pain is an ulcer.
I talked to my biological mom today. We talked for an hour; well, she did most of the talking like normal. She says she got Bella’s bday invitation in the mail, and she sent a card and some money back. I guess I’ll use the money to buy Bella her birthday cake, that’s like buying her a present right? I can’t believe there are only 2 more weeks until she turns 1. My baby girl is getting so big!!
Well it’s late and I’m pretty tired; I think this pain is sapping away my life energy. Anyways, ciao!
