More Aches and Pains

I had always read about women experiencing hip pain during pregnancy, but I was in denial about that not settling in until later. Ouch! I was wrong! The past two nights have been awful. My hips ache and burn and scream in pain, no matter what position I try to sleep in. I miss blissfully sleeping on my side hugging my body pillow. :( I've been exhausted the past two days from not sleeping, and just not feeling so great since my hips are so sore even during the day. I meant to try some yoga yesterday but never got around to it. I plan to use my yoga DVD later today, or at least stretch and take a bath. And this is only the beginning, which my husband lovingly reminded me this morning by pretending he was my doctor and responding like we both know he would. At least that was good for a little laugh.

Also, Tums have become my BFF. I must remember not to leave them at home when we visit some dear friends (holla! I know you're reading!) this weekend. Indigestion has made itself comfortable in the upper half of my two-hemisphere belly (see the the belly button post).

Other than these two issues, I can't complain. I'm grateful this pregnancy seems to be going well and for every little tap I feel.

  1. Got a container of Tums waiting for ya! Hope you can get some much needed sleep. Let me know if you need anything else. I know what it's like not to sleep, but I'm birthing a dissertation and not a baby. ;)
