Today was good
By kCharleneS » Posted Feb. 9, 2013 1:01am - 162 views - 0 comments
Aside from being woken up at 7 this morning to being smacked in the stomach by Sean in his sleep, today was a pretty good day. He didn't hit me hard, but it definitely woke me up. I kept an eye on things all day just to make sure Baby was okay. But she's been kicking (more so today than in the past few days), I haven't had any spotting or fluid leaking, and aside from some Braxton Hicks contractions that I've been experiencing since 12 weeks, no cramping.
I also had physical therapy this morning. The therapist asked me a ton of questions and is a bit worried about how tight my back muscles are, how badly my hips are clicking when I walk (she said my joints moving was normal, but not to the degree that they're at), the pain I've been feeling in my legs that almost sent me to the er, the numbness and tingling that wakes me up from a dead sleep, my thumb losing feeling, and the fact that I've been dealing with chronic back pain for 4 years and we don't know why. She wants me to get an MRI done after I have the baby to see what's going on. Especially since I had to take pain pills for it for over a year. She is also having me do aquatic therapy twice a week until the baby is born. The nice thing is that I've had her and my aquatics therapist (though not in the pool, just regular therapy) before as my therapist when I was in in 2009 and 2010 for my back pain, so they know me fairly well.
Then we cleaned our living room (Sean and I) and rented "The Possession" as well as "The Walking Dead Video Game". We played that at 5 until 6:30 when we had to get Nate from his dad's. Even though he was going to be driving past our house tomorrow to go out of town to see his parents, he demanded we drive the 15 miles to his town to get our son. It was complete bs. And then when I got there, my son was calling me Kelly and his step-mom didn't correct him. Then he told me he was gonna miss his doggies and his mommy (his step mom) and that almost had me in tears because I'm his mommy. Not the woman who left hand prints on him and used fear as a means to potty train him while he was visiting for the summer.
But then we went to dinner and that made things a lot better. Nathan had us laughing so hard. He was just being so silly and adorable. And then when we came home, him and "Papa Sean" played and rough housed while I folded laundry. It was a great night aside from those two small things. Now he's in bed and so am I. It's days like this that keep me going when I just want to give up on everything. <3
Oh! And I'm 18 weeks today. Only 1 week and 5 days to go before we find out 100% what we're having. :-)
