Attack of the Killer Gallbladder

I got home from work last night and wasn't feeling so great.  I got in to my pajamas and settled down for the night around 5:30.  My stomach kept hurting, and I got sick after I ate dinner.  I thought it was just round ligament pain or that I had pulled a muscle when I was working out.  Still, it wasn't any better when I woke up this morning and I was worried that something was wrong with you, little one.  So, I called Colonel Sanders and went in for an appointment this morning. 

So, I've had a gallbladder attack.  Apparently, its a very common thing to happen to pregnant women because of all the added hormones in your body causing organs to function differently.  The good news is that you're just fine and healthy.  I've attached your most recent picture.  You're definitely growing!


In any case, I've got to take it easy for the next few days.  We go back to the doctor on Thursday for a check-up and to determine if I've gotten any better.  If not, I might have to have my gallbladder taken out.  Yikes!  Still, you're fine, healthy, and have a strong heartbeat, which is great news.  And all I really care about.  Even if I have to stay in bed for the next seven months, I really don't care.  Television on DVD may be one of the greatest inventions of the twenty-first century.  So, I've got Buffy the Vampire Slayer to keep me company for now.   

So, I'll write more later.  But, I really just wanted to post your latest picture.  Colonel Sanders says you're going to be quite the beautiful baby.  He also says you're a boy (but I really think you're a girl)...point being, we don't know either way just yet.
