Oops, I did not realize I was blending into the background until posting this. There's no hiding the belly these days. I'm officially out of my "regular" dress pants. Well, for over 6 months, I've been telling you I feel great! Well, I unfortunately cannot say that at the moment. I still have not experienced nausea or sickness. However, a couple of weeks ago I thought I pulled a muscle in my lower back. It worsened and the pain started shooting down my leg. I called the Dr. and after a visit, learned that the pain is from my sciatic nerve. As your baby grows, your uterus may press on the sciatic nerve, which connects your legs to your spinal cord. Sciatica is a sharp or aching pain that usually starts in the lower back or buttock and sometimes seems to shoot down the back of the leg to the calf or heel. Needless to say, it's been quite a nuisance and has really halted those nightly walks Lee and I were taking. Lee told Baby Petey he was in timeout. His movements are getting more forceful these days. It's so cool and surreal.Sunday, January 25, 2009
