11 Weeks and counting

I am 29 weeks pregnant this week and believe me I am counting down the days. This pregnancy has been rough compared to Josie's pregnancy. Here and so lows of this pregnancy.

I've had very bad lower back pain, sometimes its hard to even walk.

I've had about 3 kidney stone attacks, if any guy wants to know how it feels to give birth tell them to have a kidney stone.

I've had some Braxton Hicks...I don't know what people are saying when they don't hurt at all. Or I have low pain tolerance.

I'm so sick of not being able to do as much as I usually do. I feel like such a burden especially to Elliot. I want to have more energy especially to play with Josie. I guess I'm luck that Josie is OK with watching cartoons and movies.

Then last but not least I've had some very painful siadic nerve pain.....I'm not sure how to spell that but its really sharp pain around your lower hip region.

Here are some good things about being pregnant because I can't just write about the lows.

I love feeling the baby and how excited Josie gets when she can feel the baby.

I think Josie will be such a great big sister when the baby comes, she's already so helpful.

I can wear sweatpants all day, if I want.

Ummmmm I am able to have kids and that is just amazing. I really need to stop complaining but sometimes its good to get it out of your system.

Its been nice to have my older sister Michelle pregnant at the same time because she knows exactly how I feel. Well things around our house have been good. I've been doing a lot of crafts and redecorating. I wish I had more money to do that though. I better get going for the day because the dishes and laundry won't do them selves. Have a great week.

Oh man, sciatic nerve pain is the worst! I had it with all three of my pregnancies, and it seemed worse each time. It is a blessing to be able to have kids, though. Hang in there, you're getting close!

Melanie! I honestly don't think it's complaining. I feel ya. I had a lot of contractions through out my pregnancy and they weren't always pain free as well as the back pain and sciatic pain. That was bad! At least it's almost over :) Pregnancy is amazing but it is rough. I think the whole process from conception to delivery to your growing child is a miracle and the greatest blessing from God. However it's tough so let it out once in a while. I know I did. haha Good luck. and I'm excited for you.

I know everyone else keeps saying it but, "11 weeks left" already?? It feels like we just hit that mark. I am sorry about the ciadic nerve stuff, I hate that. And kidney stones?? Even worse, from what I hear. Don't worry about taking it easy, it's good for our husbands to realize they need to help out a bit more sometimes.
