It's been almost a week since my surgery... Everything turned out fine and the baby is okay! Jason told me that the doctor had to shave off some of my ovary when she took out the cyst, but was able to keep most of it.

I heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time right before and after the surgery, which was pretty awesome. I go back for my check up in a week to make sure everything is fine and healing the way it should.

I'm feeling much better as well. They made three incisions - one of the left, one on the right, and one in my belly button. The last one hurts the most, and it looks weird and naked without my belly button ring in it. I should probably get used to that since I'm not supposed to have it in for much longer anyway. I still feel nauseous like... all the time. I've come to terms with that it's probably from just being pregnant and not anything else, and I'm probably going to feel like this going forward. Yaaaaaay.

Everyone has been SO great to me in this last week - checking up to see how I'm feeling, making sure I don't need anything... even Jason's colleagues and students asked about me. My mom even asked me what I would like her to cook for me, which NEVER happens. I could totes get used to this whole being pregnant and getting pampered thing. ;)

I went back to work today for the first time in a week and the store looks great. I'm always a little worried that I'll be returning to a complete shitstorm whenever I take some time off, but Kaitlin (my assistant manager) held down the fort and made sure that everything was under control. It made me feel so much better and I'm a lot less stressed now knowing my store is in perfectly capable hands.

I'm off again tomorrow but I really need to clean our bedroom, which has turned into a disaster zone since I haven't been able to keep up with it in the last week. Laundry is a total nightmare because I keep letting it build up. What I NEED to do is clean out my closet because I don't wear half the stuff in there anyway (especially since my wardrobe now pretty much consists of leggings and an oversized sweater). I'm kind of a hoarder though so it's really hard for me to get rid of stuff. A lot of the clothes I own are still in really great shape and from Juicy Couture or J.Crew, so I don't have the heart to donate it, and ain't nobody got time to try to consign that shit. We'll see what kind of mood I am in tomorrow and go from there?

I'll also need to upload some pictures of my cyst baby (may it rest in peace), and my actual baby!
