This weekend marks the beginning of my 12th week of pregnancy. soo excited! i've had less and less morning sickness (PRAISE YOU JESUS!), and i've had lots and lots more energy...which isn't really saying a lot, b/c i had ZERO before, but i am feeling more energized.

the only problem i am facing now:

I found out my 4th week that i have a cycst on my right ovaries. this hasn't been a problem until this week, when i suspect it's starting to "dissolve" itself....which is the most painful thing ever.

i have never had a cycst before, but from those who have, i've learned that as they "pop" you see a little trail of bleeding. however, i've not seen that. so i'm not sure if it's dissolving or not (i love the term "dissolving"....that's how the doctor referred to it going away...).

so i'm in lots of pain. weird thing is...it's in my back.

and i love the sympathy i get from work. i can't bend down. i can't pick up things. i can't move very well.

"oh you're such a wimp."

"how's this for wimp? Stick a fork three inches into your soft back tissue, twist it 10 times. leave it there. go about your daily routine....oh, and imagine having a stomach flu...but you can't throw up, because you work around food. try it. then see how ya feel. oh and you can't take any medication b/c you're allergic to it all..."

that's what i'm dealing with. i love being told to "suck it up and deal...wimp" when i have tears in my eyes from the pain.
