February 11th (Period Pain/Ella Cheer Comp/My Presents/Gyu Kaku)

Before I went to bed last night around 1:30 am I took some Advil but it never kicked in to help with my period that started early just in time for my birthday. Well I was awake most of the night in lots of pain. So when I woke up I knew there was no way I could take Ella to her Cheer Competition. Luckily Nick stepped up and took her. So I could rest for the day.

Mrs. Christy took some pics of her while waiting to go on stage.

I ate some leftover appetizers with Adelyn. Then indulged in some amazing Macarons from Erica.

I got all my presents upstairs to take a picture and to try to clean up a little. But I really just laid around with a heating pad on all day. The Advil wasn't touching my pain.

Erica sent me this of the glass I got her.

So as the day went on I kept feeling worse, my cramps were getting worse. I almost went to the hospital, but I remembered I had some old Hydrocodone from my surgery last year. Just so I couldn't go to dinner with Nick I popped a 1/2 of one.

When we got to the restaurant I finally started to feel better.

My mom watched the girls and I used my gift card from my Aunt Maggie for my birthday for the new Japanese Barbeque place. My parents have raved about this place.

Wow lots of food to choose from.

The food was yummy. It is kind of expensive. Fun experience, but one time for me is just fine! I also had a yummy drink, kind of like a Pina colada! We headed home and my cramps started back up. Hopefully I feel better on my birthday tomorrow!
