I'm only 3 weeks away now, thank goodness!!<br><br> Journaling: I realize that no pregnancy is alike, so there should be no comparison. Still, when I learned I was pregnant with you, I expected the same things I experienced with Sean: no morning sickness, a little back pain, some heartburn, a 37 lbs weight-gain… Turns out, this pregnancy could not be more different than the first one! <br><br>First of all, I’ve been nauseous since the very beginning. And sick. Really sick. Enough that I actually lost weight early on. I put on my first pound in my fifth month. It became so bad that I decided to go with my doctor’s advice and take some meds (diclectin) even though I am not a big “pill person”. Perhaps it didn’t save my life, but it sure saved my sanity and my strength!!<br><br>Second, that “little back pain” has become huge! It is quite awful. From almost the beginning of my pregnancy, I’ve had pain in my lower back. In my second trimester began a shooting pain on the right every time I put pressure on my right leg (walking, going up/down the stairs, trying to get dressed). Some days, I can’t even bend down or walk properly. If your brother Sean throws something on the floor, it stays there until Daddy comes home! A little after this picture was taken (which was at 5-and-a-half months), a horrible pain in my middle back started. It feels like a boa is constricting my back. It even prevents me from breathing properly. Because of that, I don’t sleep very well.<br><br>Now, as I write these words, I only have 3 short months to go! I’ve put on a total of 5 lbs, so I doubt I’ll reach number 37 this time around! My back pain is still the worst part of the pregnancy. I’m still taking the anti-nausea meds, so that’s not really an issue. I don’t care about all that, though. I may complain a lot, but I love being pregnant with you! I can feel you moving and I can’t wait to see you. I don’t mind all these discomforts when it means I’ll have a beautiful and healthy baby in the end!<br><br>PP: Chatterbox – Garden (Garden Pebbles and Soft Garden Plaid, both front and back);Chipboard letters: Heidi Swapp – She – Brown;Rub-on letters: Heidi Swapp – Bordeaux – Pink;Letter stickers: Provo Craft – Large Vowel Alphabitties;Rub-on stitching: Die Cuts With a View – White;Rubber Stamps: Stampin’ Up!;Ink: Nick Bantock – Van Dyke Brown;Font: Avant Garde Bk BT (MS Word);<br><br>Created September 2006.
