If It's Not One Thing...

Well, you'll be glad to know that my pregnancy-induced nausea is gone - YEA!!! Isn't that wonderful? It did, however, give way to a nasty cold which had me down for the past week. So, yesterday as I was finally coming out of the fog I was carrying Eli through the den and by some freak accident that I couldn't recreate if I tried, I got my pinky toe caught on our stone fireplace and snapped it sideways. Yes, now I've broken my toe. Crazy. I knew instantly it was bad. Something about the snap, crackle, and pop I heard clued me in that this pain wasn't going to go away any time soon. I went into the next room and put Eli down and tried to hope the accident away to no avail. I think it is always a bad sign when you can bend your toe out sideways. The doctor confirmed the break today with some xrays. Since it's just my littlest piggy, there's not really anything you can do for it. So, it's taped to it's little piggy neighbor and I'm supposed to stay off of it and keep it elevated for a few days. Hmmmm, wonder how Eli is going to do while I'm staying off my foot! And, like with the cold, since I'm preggo I cannot take any medications other than Tylenol for what ails me. Where's the hard stuff when you need it?
Now, as for that pesky mass the doctor has been tracking. I had my UAB appointment today (yes, it was a medical marathon day for me). The UAB doc agrees with my doc -- I have a benign tumor on my right ovary. Neither doctor feels it necessitates any procedures to biopsy it or remove it at this time. However, it must be removed -- but that can be done in September when I have new baby Walker. Apparently this is not that uncommon and absolutely nothing to be concerned about. All good.
Although I am just 14 weeks along, the doctor today told me she could find out the gender of new baby for me since she had such high tech equipment. I asked her not to peek and tell since Jason wasn't with me. So, it shall remain a mystery for a few more weeks. She did say the baby looked great - thick neck and bone in the nose which apparently are good signs of a healthy baby. Who knew.
That is it for now. As soon as I can find the charger for my camera battery, I'll start sending out some pictures for your viewing enjoyment. Hope you are all well and loving life!
