EEEKKK!!! Time is just flying right by! A new development this past week - sciatica. At least I think that's what it was. On Sunday, my ankle felt funny, kind of like it had to crack or pop. It felt that way all day and by the evening I was feeling it through my calf and behind my knee really bad too. Almost like a tingling, kind of numb feeling like your leg is going to fall asleep. It was just my left leg and that's the leg I've been having really bad RLS in at night too (Restless Leg Syndrome).
I'm still having groin pain as well. There will be times when after sitting for a while, I get up and it "goes out" - that's the only way I can describe it. Like a really horrible groin pull and I can't walk. If I do some deep squats/sumo stretches and butterfly stretch, it seems to be ok again. It will just come on really bad out of the blue and then after a couple stretches, it seems to go away a bit. My groin still is always a little sore, but when it "goes out", boy does that suck!
We went to our Newborn Care class on Sunday. It was alright. We learned how to swaddle, heard about scary stuff like SIDS and Postpartum Depression and we got the Happiest Baby on the Block DVD and CD. I was really excited to get that. It made it worth the $25 we spent for the class.
Super Bean has been kicking and bumping around like crazy. She's getting super strong. :) I was laying on my side the other day with my arm draped over my tummy and she kicked so hard she nearly knocked my arm off!
We had our taxes done and found out we OWE this year. So Not Fun. Last year we got a fabulous return so we were thinking we'd get something back this year too. NOPE. And on top of that, since the lady who did our taxes didn't hire me for work this year, she didn't do our taxes for free like she usually does. So we owe her money too! Such bad timing! On top of all the vet bills and everything else, having this extra cost really sucks. I have to try not to think about money because it really depresses me and I get very upset. I know we'll find a way to manage but it's so stressful.
Alright, that's all for now, I think. Lots to do. I'll put up my belly pic for today in a little while after I take one. :) Tootles!
Well, I just had a temp job fall into my lap for tomorrow through May 3. M-f 8am-4pm... Gonna try to make it work (but my other job is usually 2:30-6:30 m-th). Hmm... gonna be a bit burnt I think, but I can use the money, that's for sure! Just a warning in case I can't get on here for an update for a little while...
