I thought my right butt cheek was a problem. Apparently, my left one got in on the action. I've been sick since Sunday (dry cough developed into burning cough and lost voice... ugh!) and only went back to work today for a 1/2 day. But the thing that put me down and out on Monday was that all of a sudden, I got sciatica in my *left* side. So badly that I couldn't walk. The whole day. Sure, I could hobble to the bathroom as needed, but it was PAINFUL.
Oh, AND I had the worst pain from a gas bubble in my esophagus YET. So I was in bad shape.
I found that going to sleep on my back with the offending leg propped on a pillow really helped. And the physical therapist suggested sitting on an ice pack, rather than a hot watter bottle.
I also went to TWO baby showers in less than 20 hours last weekend: one at 3 p.m. on Friday for a co-worker, then one at 10 a.m. Saturday for a cousin-in-law. This after only attending one baby shower in my life before then (said cousin's older sister's first shower). Pretty fun! My first shower is in 1-1/2 weeks; the next is in mid-March.
And tomorrow... the big weigh-in/check-up at the doctor's office. Hurrah. ;p haha All I know is, the baby has been quite active and keeping me company. It is funny to watch my stomach move and roll and jerk around. I'm like, "What are you doing in there, little man? Building something?"
