so do you really know what all you body parts do? not talking arms legs heart, etc. do you know what your gallbladder, appendix, or spleen do? well i don't care to, i just want them to work properly.
due to the fact that my gallbladder is not functioning properly i now know what it does. i have an ultrasound on tuesday. generally when you hear a pregnant woman say that they are excited. i just can't bring myself to be excited about seeing my gallbladder, kidneys and pancreas.
due to the fact that i couldn't keep down anything on sunday i have been on a clear liquid diet for just over 24 hours. starting tonight at 1am i have to fast, nothing by mouth, not even water. I kept asking if they knew i was pregnant. man i'm starving.
lets go over what i've eaten (i'm using this term losely to mean anything that i put in my mouth. as you'll be able to see almost nothing actually required chewing) in the last 24 hours just for fun.
1. water
2. flavored water--thanks to my wonderful husband who got it for me and then fixed dinner so i didn't have to.
3.popsicles--but not my favorite, no red or purple died anything.
4. beef broth--which is not great on a 100 degree day by the way.
5. ritz crackers--not a good idea made me really sick
6. more water
7. cheerios--again not a good idea
8. lime jello--gross but at least it had flavor
9. another popsicle, orange
i really don't want to have gallbladder surgery. I hope that i don't have to. but from the state of things it may be inevitable. Please pray for me and my family. My husband is going out of town on wednesday for a few days and I will get the results of my ultrasound on thursday. i am dreading having to make a decision. From the little bit of research I've done on the surgery its not advisable in the thrid trimester, which i'm in. It said there was a risk of losing the baby. It also said having gallstones puts you at risk for premature labor. After the surgery you can't lift anything or go up/down the stairs for a week. That would really suck because i have a daughter who loves me and loves me to hold her.

- I like to sleep in but can't really remember the last time I did. I like scrapbooking, reading, playing soccer. I have four darling kids, many of whom keep me up at night. I wish I liked vegetables more than junk food. If you need another player for a board game, I'm your gal.

Oh, Sarah - I'm so sorry for the stress and yuckiness this is causing you! During our ultrasound mid-pregnancy, we found that I have two huge gallstones. Thankfully nothing came of it, although they hurt like mad when I ate fatty foods (pretty much all the time!). I'll be praying for you.
Sarah,I'm sorry! I wish we could trade July's...I also wish you guys were still in town :o( know that we will definitely be praying for you!
dirt Sarah, get some dirt.
hey maybe this will be a good diet incentive. I mean if i get super sick everytime i eat fatty food it stands to reason i'd stop right? well maybe. i may have to make my kids stop eating that delicious smelling greasy stuff too. its just such a temptation!
Oh Adam and his dirt! Sarah I am praying for you and love you guys.
