We had a doctor appointment on Friday that went very well, although the doctor was concerned that I haven&#8217;t gained any weight and I was told I need to eat more.  She used the doppler to listen to the baby&#8217;s heartbeat.  I didn&#8217;t cry during any of the sonograms, but for some reason, listening to that heartbeat made me well up with tears.  Perhaps just because I had my eyes closed which made it possible for my imagination to take over.<\/p>\n<p>Things changed over the weekend when I started feeling a great deal of discomfort.  After several calls to the consulting nurse and a handful of tums, the consulting nurse sent us to the ER on Sunday afternoon.  By this time the discomfort had graduated to excruciating pain.  After 5 hours in the ER, they determined that I have gall stones.  Baby is fine. Now I&#8217;m on a non-fat diet.  They gave me some pain and anti-nausia medication and told me to call my doctor in the morning.  I have an appointment to see my doctor today to figure out how we will treat this moving forward.  It may just be a watch your diet and wait and see kind of thing as they really don&#8217;t want to operate during the pregnancy.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m still in some pain but feeling much better now, although completely exhuasted.  My big task for this week is getting caught up on all the homework I fell behind on over the past several days.<br \/>\n_________________________________________<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size:78%;\"><a rel=\"alternate\" type=\"application\/rss+xml\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/Coffeejitters\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0pt none ; vertical-align: middle;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.feedburner.com\/fb\/images\/pub\/feed-icon16x16.png?w=1080\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"alternate\" type=\"application\/rss+xml\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/Coffeejitters\">Subscribe to CoffeeJitters<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\">\u00a9 Copyright Judy Haley 2008.
