Well, I am recovering today from getting my umbical hernia repaired. Damage caused from Sophia being a big basketball in utero :) Went in yesterday around 2pm. It was funny being the patient instead of the caregiver. I had to get an IV (took her 2 tries even with my awesome veins??) Even with the births of my 2 kiddos I did all natural, no pain meds, no IV- so this was a little nerve racking for me. The guy put some stuff in the IV and oxygen over my nose, then I remember briefly seeing the two big discs above my head in the operating room and them pulling my arms to the side... then waking up in recovery. I was pretty groggy but ok. Belly feels like someone punched me in the stomach hard. Tried the pain meds but I barfed :( So switched to just advil and I was able to eat tonight. Nanny has helped with the kids, and Christen was awesome to bring them clothes and drive them to school so I could rest. Which is pretty much what I did today. (other than get some signatures on a contract, negotiate a counter offer, and show the duplex next door) Ahhhh- it's always something :)
Wayne took a picture of me on his new iphone when I was waking up- I'll post it if it's not too scarey haha.
And on a brighter note... I am an AUNTIE again!!! My
sis was a trooper this morning and gave birth to her fourth babe, third girl--- Ms. Laine Ashlynn Zimmerman. I am eagerly awaiting pics from
Aunt Jess. Wish I could have been there...
