OUCH!!!

This morning Autumn got up at her usual early time of 7:30. I put on Mulan for her and got her some cereal and then went back to lay in my bed. While I was laying there, I had this HORRIBLE pain start in my lower abdomen. I tried to ignore it, but it got worse and I started breaking out in a sweat as if I were sitting in a sauna. The pain intensified, so I called Dad to see which side the appendix is on. Luckily the appendix is on the right and my pains were on the left. Based on what I told him about the pains, he told me it was probably an ovarian cyst that had burst. WHAT!?!? How do you even get ovarian cysts and why did I have one? All I know is I was in excruciating pain and it reminded me of when I had my gall bladder problems. I just went and laid on the couch so I could keep an eye on Autumn and spent the next 4 hours not moving b/c it hurt if I sat up or if I walked. Autumn was very concerned about my “hurt tummy” and pretended to call the doctor for me.

Once the pain was a little more tolerable, I threw on some jammies and we went over to Mom & Dad’s house so Mom could help me watch Autumn. Autumn had a blast and this picture made me laugh b/c it looks like she’s wearing a life preserver (it’s one of those pillows you wear around your neck when you fly) while riding a horse. And she refused to put on pants, so she’s just wearing a shirt, diaper and Dora socks. What a kid.

We had Chinese food for lunch and then when Papa got home from the clinic, Autumn wanted to go outside. Since she didn’t have any pants, he wrapped her in a blanket (it was cold today in the low 50’s) and took her outside. I love this picture of them. Look at that big old grin on her face.

They mowed the back yard and spent a good 2 hours outside. It was so nice, b/c I was able to take a nap and get some much needed sleep.

Someone had come and left this beautiful pot of mums outside the back door. We later found out it was Christine as a way to say thanks to Dad for looking at one of her kids that was sick. They were BEAUTIFUL!!!

We spent the majority of the day watching football. The U of U won and so did BYU. We worked on this puzzle to pass the time and finally finished around midnight. Autumn hadn’t taken a nap all day and finally fell asleep around 6:30 and ended up sleeping the whole night, so we just stayed at Mom & Dad’s b/c I didn’t want to wake her up. By the end of today I was feeling much better than this morning and just had some weird pressure in my lower abdomen. Luckily I have an OBGYN appointment in the next few weeks, and I am so thankful for Mom & Dad helping me watch Autumn while I wasn’t feeling very well.
