i'm beginning to think there must be something seriously wrong with the left side of my body.
that's the side all the hip to knee pain/numbness is in. it's also the side that i always get headaches on - like the one i have right now. the one that i've had since last night. the one that tylenol has yet to take away...
in other news...
the crappy weather returned yesterday. rain. thunderstorms. fog. i wanted to start getting some things accomplished this week and this weather just makes the motivation so hard to find. i end up sleeping or watching television. i have two blankets i should be working on but sitting in a position that is comfortable to do so has been near impossible with this sciatic nerve business. le sigh.
i started poking around the babycenter.com website a few days ago. joined the december 2010 birth club. i must say i'm a bit dissapointed in it though. i like getting the weekly updates about how the baby is growing but the part where you post questions is rather annoying. i started reading through a bunch of them and even commented on a few. then i decided to post my own - in regards to the sciatic nerve issues i've been having. so far i've gotton one response. this other lady posted a question in regards to whether or not her baby was going to be attractive and even posted some gangsta picture of her BD (which i'm assuming stands for baby daddy and makes me gag*) to help people decide. that post recieved 7 comments** so far and people actually seemed to take it seriously. pish....
i've started to feel much more excited about the pregnancy. that sounds bad. i've been excited about it since the day that second line appeared! it just seems that the only time i've had a major emotional response in regards to it the past two months have been crying fits about how i'm going to be a terrible mother and that maybe this wasn't the best idea and so on and so on.
the other night though as we fell asleep i cried out of happiness. just laying there holding what i'm now sure is a baby bump and not just fat i realized that there were three (or maybe four?!?) heartbeats in that bed. that chris and i had created that (those) extra little beats. it was absolutely amazing! i'm sure i startled chris with that outburst of emotion but after i assured him it was a happy cry we both just lay there together holding my belly.
gosh - pregnancy really does make you cry and at everything. i got all teary again.
hmm...all the sudden i'm starving. it's okay to each lunch now, right?
*i feel as though i must add that chris and i refer to each other as baby mama/baby daddy sometimes. we know how obnoxious it is but we also know that we're only kidding when we do it. people who use those terms in a serious manner annoy me. a lot.
**i just checked back and that stupid post now has 39 comments! wtf?

Kelly had sciatic nerve troubles with her pregnancy--you could ask her about it. I have lower back pings of pain, but it's not quite as bad as I would think sciatic would be, since it runs so far down your booty.
i just was thinking about that last night - asking kelly that is. i've thought about calling the doctor too but i don't think they can do anything. i'm just worried that it's started so early - what's it going to be like when i'm huge?
