Pregnancy Journal :: Week 13

My lower back is aching. Almost as if I was on my period. I don’t think I slept too well last night. I can’t wait till my body pillow arrives. I ordered it last night on Amazon. My back, on work days, now begins hurting by 9am – 9:30am everyday now. It has been for about the past week. I am thinking of what will be the best solution to help minimize this pain throughout the work day. Pillow, softer chair, balance ball…I have been doing my kagel exercises every day. I sure don’t want an epezimodity. That would S-U-C-K! And by the way….OUCH! Not to mention…doing those exercises are supposed to help delivery along. I guess only time will tell with this one.

In the past month I have been to 3 baby showers. I have found them very informative. I say this because I see the different things people register for and I am able to ask one of the MANY women w/ children sitting near me “what in the heck is THAT THING for”, or “where is THAT store?” I know nothing about baby boutiques, or all the little tools of the mom trade I need to invest in before my little one arrives. Going to these baby showers are like a new mom study group. I think I have been pretty darn good about drinking enough water, but my lips will not stay un-chapped for the life of me!
I had a epi. It’s not that big of a deal. really. You don’t even realize it at the time and after, no big deal.
