Update
Turns out I actually had a ruptured appendix that was inflamed. I'm glad it was something acute and fixable. However, because of my pregnancy the surgery was not as straight forward as it typically is. It also turned out that the surgeon was concerned he would have to remove part of my bowel or colon (thankfully he didn't) and it took four liters of saline to wash out my abdomen. I was readmitted to the hospital twice over the last few weeks due to complications. I finally seem to be on the mend (knock on wood). I'm now 16 weeks along and the Nugget is such a trooper! Made it through everything with me in good health, as far as we know. I'm planning to restart my blogging soon, but it will probably be a little differently focused.
