Starting after Savannah was born, I had trouble with intense pain in the right side of my abdomen. It would hit pretty suddenly and last a few hours, and then go away. Usually I was lay awake moaning until the pain was gone. Being the type of person I am, I ignored it and assumed it was nothing. After it happened 4 times in the course of about 5 months, Paul told me he wanted me to make a doctor’s…
When I was around 35 weeks pregnant, my fingers finally swelled to the point where I had to take off my wedding rings.

Pull myself out of bed to take Paul to work. Ask him to get a bag from the kitchen. Don’t even make it to the car before I lose my stomach contents in the bag. Drop Paul off at the station, come home. Technically don’t have time to go…
