Week 24 update

Not much to update just plugging along.  Doctors appointment went well today.  Baby's heartbeat was 150.  I talked to the doctor about my sciatic nerve pain and she gave me the name of a chiropractor and a flyer on a support belt.  I think I may try the belt and do some stretches I found on youtube for sciatic nerve pain before doing the PT or chiropractic route.  I decided to talk to her about it since I was getting so stiff at night and the sharp pain was getting worse and more frequent.  And it was worse after the days I exercised which I thought was supposed to help.  I walked 2 miles on Saturday and then swam on Monday (50 lengths of the pool) - both probably took me 45 minutes to do.  Monday night was the worst.  Today was better.  When I swam, it was amazing though - all the pain was gone.  I could move without pain!  Made me realize how much I was just putting up with and what it felt like to be pain-free.  I think the buoyancy of the water released the pressure on my hips.  So hopefully the belt will do the same for when I'm not in the water.  

Week 22 update

Not much to report this week just a new picture.  Did some walking and a Leslie Sansone walk and yoga video a couple times.  Still stiff after sitting.  Staying up too late studying and watching TV.  Need to get my rest!  Had a couple warm days but this winter is going on forever and I'm still freezing even on the "warmer" days.

Baby's moving a lot.  I can especially feel him when I sit or lay a certain way.
