Remember how I said my sciatic nerve hurt but nothing "unbearable"? It seems I spoke too soon. That always happens. I'll say I haven't had an emotional freak out lately and then later that night it creeps up on me. Well same thing happened here. So I decided I'd devote a whole post to complaining about my back and leg pain. Everyone loves those people. Seriously though, back pain is no joke. And I genuinely do not know how people with chronic pain function on a day to day basis. I take one step and my eyes fill with tons of water, it's the strangest thing! But I, at least, have an end to the pain in sight! As soon as baby is out (HOPEFULLY) the pain should go away but other people aren't so lucky. <<Trying so hard to be positive.
Not only do I recognize that people have much worse pain than me but I'm also aware labor will be much worse than anything I'm feeling right now. SO, that's something to look forward to..............
I gave Dayton clear instructions that I know labor will be worse and he is never allowed to tell me when I wince, cry, or complain "Now honey, labor is going to be even MORE horrible" because that is just asking for homemade dinner to be boycotted for the week. Which may be his motive? The man loves to eat out and order in, but that's beside the point.
All I ask is next time it turns 11:11, you say your nightly prayers, or throw a coin in a fountain, just wish that this pain subsides anytime soon or at most that I stop walking like a fool and may be able to get down one flight of stairs with out my legs collapsing under me/falling face forward!
Baby Jones' is healthy and that's most important. Who cares about ol' mom anyway! p.s. we picked a name!!!! Biggest check mark off our long list of to-do's. We're so in love with the name. Not a soul knows or will know til' her Birthday.
And just because no one ever likes a post with out pictures here's right before we, the Jones' side, ate our weight in Oreganos on Monday and loved every minute.
