Is it ever going to end?

OK. For those of you that had an easy pregnancy, Congrats! For those of you that didn't, I feel your pain. 16 1/2 weeks of all day sickness, the worst indigestion ever, and a dislocated tailbone during delivery were nothing compared to a few weeks ago. Around 2:00 in the morning for a few weeks straight, I would wake up feeling like I was having back and side labor all over again. At my six week appointment, Dr. Harris told me it was my uterus still contracting. He obviously wasn't getting the picture I was trying to create of the pain. A week later I called him back and he finally decided it was probably something else. After an ultrasound, gallstones were found.

I was pretty nervous about the surgery. More so for having to leave Karlee overnight than anything. I pumped for two weeks straight and had more than enough milk for two days. Chip was just thrilled to have to sleep in a chair at the hospital again! He has been great through all of this though. He's a great dad and husband. I sure have been pretty dependent on him lately. He has to hand Karlee to me each time I feed because it's very sore to lift her. Plus, I have four holes in my stomach that she lays on when she feeds. I can't lift her in her car seat carrier for two weeks so I'm stranded at the house. But, I would do it all over again in a heartbeat for this precious gift from God. I keep saying to myself everyday: "This too shall pass."
