Ouch!
posted in Baby Cakes, Friends, Family, Et Al. |Woke up in the middle of the night with a horrible ache in my hips/thighs. I think it’s sciatica, which is apparently common during pregnancy (although usually in the third trimester – and I’m still 3 weeks away from the third trimester!). My hips ached a little once or twice in the last couple of weeks, but last night was the first time it was so bad I couldn’t sleep. Woke up at 3am and was still awake at 4am, when T woke up to get ready for work. When I discovered sitting up helped, T propped me up in bed. After half an hour or so, the pain faded enough for me to lie down again and go back to sleep. Still a little sore this morning, but no where near as bad as it was last night.
It kind of sucked. Although, on a brighter note, Baby Cakes was awake with me and kicking up a storm. I’ve noted, during my multiple bathroom breaks in the middle of the night, that 3am is one of his favorite times to be up and moving. I love feeling him kick – it makes the whole thing worthwhile. =)
On a non-baby related note, had a great time this weekend! T’s mom was in town, so we got to spend a lot of time with her and T’s brother. I made Louisiana Pasta for dinner Friday, we went to the Outdoor Cinema Food Feast Saturday (where we joined a couple of my friend, watched the Princess Bride and ate too much junk food), and then went to a beach party on Sunday with T’s co-workers (where we again ate too much junk food). T and I are detoxing this week. I made shrimp and spinach last night and am making salmon and broccoli tonight.
