Chronic Pelvic Pain!

Yesterday I decided to go for a short walk after work...bad idea... I came home made dinner sat down and could barley get back up. After the chronic pain set in, I decided to lay in the bath which brought some relief. As I got out I could barley use my legs. Shuffling to the bedroom and rolling into my bed no matter how I laid this constant chronic pain stuck with me. At 2:30 in the morning a found myself in the bath once again and then into the guest bedroom. My select comfort bed really has helped me through this pregnancy! I finally got some relief and slept off and on until I had to get up this morning at 6. Now having to get ready and go work in Mt.Vernon I have been dreading this morning for I am better than this early morning but still having to shuffle to walk. We are so close to being done! God please bring this baby soon!

Rough night!

What a rough night! Slept off and on till 3 am and then was up till 5 tossing and turning with cramps and normal pregnancy pain. Getting sick, tummy bug, going into labor? It was all unknown to me. Now this morning I am soaking in a warm bath to loosen the joints and subside the stomach pain that comes and goes with a tingling sensation in my back and legs and odd pains in preparation to make it through another day of work... The stomach pain is nothing like I have experienced so far in the contractions I have had. I assuming just a tummy bug of some sort. Going to see the doctor today I am going to have her check ears nose and throat so make sure I am not coming down with something. Oh man... What a great way to start the week:)

Bye bye Facebook:)

So giving up Facebook was much needed for me. I feel like it was becoming such a habit and I was getting to involved in people's lives and decision which I have no right to judge or tell them right or wrong. I also hated find out things like my grandpa was in the hospital from a posting rather than a phone call from family. There are many reason why I need to take a break from that over social to much knowledge of nothing important Facebook life and really take the time to focus on what matters in life, God, my husband, baby, family and close friends.

This way I can write about what's going on in my life that I feel is impotent enough for you all to know about rather then doing a quick silly post that well....doesn't really matter how many thumb ups or comments I get! I feel as if I started to rely on other peoples opinions rather then just following what I know is right and wrong. I also feel as if this will give me a since of relief in no longer judging my friends because that's not what friends do. It is not our job to judge our friends but be honest with them even if honesty hurts.

All in all I think this will be a good break for me to open my eyes to better things and people:) I am still always reachable by email or phone if anything is needed!
