Week 27

Well, things were a little up in the air last Friday after my OB appointment. First let me say baby girl & I are fine. I had some really bad pains in the upper right quadrant (right below the boobs) while I was waiting in the exam room for the Dr. It was so bad it had me in tears & I was nauseous. I was sent for a gall bladder ultrasound that afternoon because the thought was that I had something wrong with my gall bladder & that was what was causing my pain. I found out last night the my gall bladder, liver & pancreas are all normal. I do have a normal abnormality in my gall bladder - it folds over itself. This however would not be the cause of my pain. It is now thought that baby was just in a position that was causing a lot of pressure in that area. She did up my dosage of my reflux medicine because my reflux has been bad & that too could be a cause of my issue.

Belly button in or out? In (never popped out with Madison, so I'm curious if it will stay that way)

Wedding rings on or off? So far on, but I think in another week they will be off as they are tight.

Happy or moody most of the time? Happy, uncomfortable & way excited that I have about 3 months left.

Looking forward to: Going to see family & friends for one last visit before I cannot do it again.
