Update

A few days ago I posted about some things that had us very anxious. It turns out everything is a-okay, whew :) Last Sunday, I was in severe pain. Eric actually thought my appendix was rupturing, but I was being stubborn and just stayed home and roughed it out (I am my fathers daughter!). Come Tuesday, the strong pain was long gone but a constant pain was staying in my right lower abdomen so I went to the doctor. Turns out she agreed with Eric and sent me to the hospital for a CT scan of my appendix. Turns out my appendix was fine, but it appeared my Fallopian Tube was extremely inflamed and she wanted me to see my OBGYN to get an ultrasound. She suggested an egg might be "stuck", whatever that meant. Of course, this brought about all sorts of fears for us as I think it would in any young couple. My appointment wasn't until Monday (as in yesterday) so we had about 6 days to wait after my scans. I continued to be in extreme pain, and on top of that I had to work on Saturday. It was a stressful week! After our appointment yesterday we learned that last Sunday the pain I had was from a cyst rupturing on my right ovary. (Eric was so close with the appendix idea!). There was a lot of fluid still in my ovary and it has caused my Fallopian Tube to be highly inflamed, hence all this crazy pain. He sent me on my way with a steroid shot and lots of meds. I should feel better in 3 or so days, thank goodness! I do have 2 more cyst on my ovary but we aren't doing anything about those for the time being.
This past week has really brought Eric and I together closer as a couple. We didn't figure it was anything too bad, but you always have that fear. Eric was so great to me. Helping me around the house and reassuring me of his love. Eric and I have always had a passion for adoption (Eric is adopted if you didn't know) and I think even having the slightest of fears something could be wrong with me made us evaluate out family expectations even more. Lately I have been SO focused on having a baby. So much that I've probably became pretty selfish. I needed this time of questioning to open my heart to my true passions and convictions. Though we definitely still want to experience pregnancy and childbirth, my heart is finding that longing for adoption again. And I am loving it.


Tomorrow I'm going to try and post about our crazy neighbors. And by crazy, I mean CRAZY y'all. IEric and I have became the neighborhood crime watch party, so crazies be warned!
