It's been a...

rough pregnancy day. :( Hormones are on super-high - resulting in spontaneous crying! Don't ask me why I'm crying, because I, too, have no idea why. I had to sit for about 7 hours today at work, (transcription) and this is the first time my back and body really ached. I needed to get up quite often to stay comfortable, but even then my back was throbbing by the end. Braxton-Hicks contractions have started, and though I know they are normal, they are still scary. I had one wake me up in the night last night. I never really get more than one or two a day, at most. Still weird though! And to continue my can't-stop-complaining post - leg cramps have started. OH MY. I woke up two nights ago screaming out in pain at 4 a.m. Poor Jeremy didn't know what was going on but he finally figured it out and started to push my foot up slowly. I've had leg cramps before, but this one was brutal. And it lasted for MINUTES. I have had them before and can get them to go away fairly quickly, but this one was so strong. My foot was stuck in the pointer-ballerina position...know what I mean? Stuck. I'm still sore. AND my final complaint...I'm home alone tonight so made myself some supper. Spaghetti and garlic bread! :) The buzzer for the garlic bread goes off and I open the oven with my hot oven pad and the pad slips and I grab the 425 degree cookie sheet with my bare hand. Some not so nice words proceed to flow from my mouth and I officially have no sensation in my third finger.

Do you feel sorry for me yet?? :)

Okay, enough of my pity party. Here's a picture from St. Cloud I wasn't going to post, but I changed my mind. It's of me and my sister and the wind makes me look horrible!! Oh well :). She is 8 months pregnant in this picture and I am about 4 1/2 months. Again, I can't tell you how much fun it was to be with her one last time before her child is born and for both of us to have separate lives living inside of us. (She is being induced in a week and a half!!) Simply amazing.

TTFN! :)
