This morning I had to go back to the hospital. I've been having a lot of pain and cramping for the last few days and this morning said enough is enough - we have to go to make sure everything is okay. The good news is that we heard the baby's heartbeat and the doctor assured me he thought it was fine. He took some blood work and some other tests and came to the conclusion I have an infection of some sort that has given me an 'irritable uterus'. They are unsure if the infection is due to the surgery or if it's completely unrelated. They gave me an antibiotic and are sending me back for an ultrasound later today to make sure it's nothing to do with my ovaries.
I just can't seem to catch a break. It seems to be one scare after another. I really would love it if I could just have some time to relax and enjoy this experience.
Physically, I'm feeling okay - just a bit worn out, but I'm just glad everything
with the baby is fine. I'm hoping to get a look at the baby when I go
for the scan and maybe if we're lucky, we can find out the sex!
My in-laws just left after a five day visit. I don't mind it being a five day visit, but then again, five days of your house not being your own is always a bit unsettling and although I don't look forward to their departure when they are here, I can't say I'm sad to have things go back to normal. As a treat for my son's birthday, we took him to the Museum of Natural History in London on Thursday. He chose to go because we took him last year (he's been crazy about dinosaurs since he was three years old). They give out adventure packs at the museum which consist of a back pack, safari hat, and binoculars with an adventure to follow during their visit. The back pack has clues in it to solve a mystery. Last year it had a dinosaur claw, a tooth and a sample of dinosaur skin he had to match up to one on display. He had a great time solving the mystery and even remembered which dinosaur it ended up being. Last year's trip was wonderful. We walked right in,
