Well I am officially 23 weeks and 2 days today!!!!!!!! I can't believe we are gonna have a newborn in our home in 17 weeks! I am beyond excited and can't wait to meet him!! I never thought pregnancy would go so fast. Of course I am sure the last 3 months are probably the worst. I have been truly blessed to have one of the easiests pregnancies in the world. However, for the last week I have definately been feeling the aches and pains of pregnancy. Last Friday I started getting severe sharp pains in my left lower back, buttocks and leg. It was so bad I callapsed in pain and tears a handful of times throughout the week. I had to take work off for a few days and traveled between the doctor office, physical therapist, and chiropractor. Needless to say they all had a different opinion so I don't know what the heck is happening. Its either the SI joint, sciatic nerve, or a torn muscle. Whatever it is, I had no idea that ligiment exhisted until now!!! Thankfully they have me on some work restrictions, Ibprofrin to decrease inflamation, a streching and hot/cold pad treatment plan the next couple weeks. We'll see if it works....I guess. Until then I will fully enjoy relaxation! =)
We finished Tristan's room (see pics below!). I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way the nursery turned out and often find myself sitting in the rocker daydreaming about life with him here. I am so excited to meet him. I cannot wait to see what this little miracle looks like. And as each day goes by I find my self getting more and more anxious. I have to give Anthony most of the painting credit for the nursery (I did a lot of directing - LOL!), but I take full credit for pulling everything else together =)
To those who check here often for updates - THANK YOU! What a great way to keep everyone posted!! We love you all and please stay in touch!!
