Again?

So just when I thought I had my source of horrible pain figured out my body found another way. I came home from mutual Wed night feeling pretty bad. I thought it was just bloating but all night long I could not get comfortable. I knew I was in a lot of pain but Scott said I was moaning a lot that night and sounded pretty bad. I was so horribly uncomfortable when I woke up. I called my dr's office and asked if there was something I could take that was stronger than extra strength tylenol. That never does anything for me. The nurse said it'd have to be a prescription so she'd talk to the dr and see what they could do. I was hoping to hear back quickly but that didn't happen. I had a visiting teaching appt at 10 so we went to that and my mom told me to come over after so I could rest on the couch and Charlotte could run around there. We stayed for about 2 1/2 hrs. Then I brought Charlotte back and she took a nap. She was awesome yesterday. She was so helpful which I needed.

While she napped I thought I'd try the dr's office since it had been like 6 hours since I called. I guess they had a couple deliveries that morning and then they got backed up on appt's in the office. So the nurse said she'd try to talk to the dr and call right back. She did and I had a couple options. Loritab or ambien but I'd only be able to use that a couple time a week. Yeah I could care less about sleeping medicine. I need a pain killer. Although loritab makes me sleepy too. It will knock me out. But I could take a half and be able to stay awake enough and it should take away most of the pain. So I chose loritab and they were calling it in. I gave them like a half hour then headed to walmart thinking it shouldn't take long. Ha ha... yeah right!

So I could hardly walk but I was desperate for relief. So I decided to go pick it up instead of waiting for Scott to get off. I thought it'd be done but it hadn't even been entered in. I was sent to the drop off counter and the girl said she'd get it right in and it'd be 20 min. So even though I was in pain and dreading sitting there for 20 min I figured I could deal and Charlotte would hopefully behave long enough. 20 min come and go. There is one girl calling out names as the prescriptions come in but none are mine. The pharmacy was pretty busy and the girl that was calling out names took a break. Then we sat and sat and sat. I was so uncomfortable and in so much pain. I just wanted to start crying. Love what your hormones do to you. Charlotte was so awesome and so good. Finally after about an hour the girl that entered my prescription asked my name again and she was like, oh its ready. Sorry about that. Seriously? I have been sitting here how long and why aren't your cashiers calling names out while the prescriptions come in? First thing I did when I got home (after taking half a loritab) was email walmart. That was a joke. They are supposed to call out names and there were a few of us waiting so how many others were left waiting like me? I was pretty annoyed.

Now only half a loritab only takes away some pain but its a relief from all of it. It got me through visiting teachers coming over and Scott and I cleaning the bathrooms. I waited until around 9 to take a full one because Scott had an 8:30 meeting and we weren't sure how late he'd be but I figured it wouldn't knock me out until at least 10. Charlotte was so good the rest of the evening. We painted her nails and got ready for bed. We read our scriptures. I was waiting until about 9:20 to see if Scott could put her down for me but he was still gone so I figured I'd just put her down and hoped she fall asleep fast. She didn't even make it through the book I read and she was asleep. Scott made it back just after 9:30 and I somehow managed to stay awake until almost 10:30 while we laid there and talked since that's sometimes the only time we get alone to talk. And then I slept and it was so nice. I don't really like the way loritab makes me feel out of it but I hate the pain more so it works for now.

I took only half this morning and I feel so out of it and I still hurt but its not as bad. Hopefully the pain will be gone by tomorrow and maybe I can get through another week without pain. Oh and can I tell you how much worse it feels when you have Braxton Hicks? And I kept getting BH yesterday like crazy. I had anywhere from 4-6 in a half hour period at least 3 different times but I wasn't doing anything. Each time I was just sitting there. Scott was probably worried more than me but I knew it wasn't real labor. I think it just had to do with my body being kinda stressed from pain and just sitting in the one position. When I'd move or get up they'd go away and I was drinking tons of water. This boy is not making this last month easy on me. He's really leaving his mark too. I didn't get stretch marks with Charlotte until the last 2-3 weeks of pregnancy. I thought I was free and clear of them until the end. And most of them came off of my scars from my surgery. I have quite the collection now thanks to this big boy. Ah the joys of pregnancy! I really shouldn't complain. I feel very lucky to have gotten pregnant on my own. I have no idea what it will be like if we have any other kids. But I am so so so very thankful for modern medicine and so glad I was able to get something from the dr yesterday. Now I just have to get through until the 30th and I'll get to have another ultrasound and meet with my dr before he heads out of town and see how things look. Guess I just better get used to this pain. I only have 3-4 weeks left. I can do it!
