Very active

In an earlier post I mentioned how active baby boy is, but that is an understatement compared to now.  I don't know if it was all the chocolate and sugar I ate at work during Christmas or just that I have a BOY growing in my tummy.  Anyway, I love feeling him move and am just shocked at how amazing it is that a little creature is growing ever so quickly and is alive in there.

The only down side is that he favors my right side.  He has put a lot of pressure on my muscles and lower ribs.  Yesterday I pushed him tot he left because I could not stretch or get comfortable and then he went crazy.  Dan said I hurt him and I actually felt badly for a moment, but then laughed.  The little guy just likes my liver.  My ribs have been hurting so much lately too.  I actually blamed the baby at first, but then realized that everything is too tight and that I needed to shop.

Today Dan left for Fargo, ND for his cousin's wedding.  I'm sad I couldn't go with him, but I'm glad that I don't have to wrestle the cold weather up there.  After dropping him off at the airport, I did a little shopping in Indy and got some great deals.  Now hopefully my rib pain will go away.

My back is doing well.  I have not pursued going down to two shifts a week, but I sort of wish I had before this upcoming weekend.  I'm working 5 out of 6 days :( I am not excited about this and I am hoping that my back holds out for all that work.  I seem to do great with one or two shifts now!  My generous friend Christina was very thoughtful and got me an aromatherapy back warming/cooling pad and I've used it almost every night!  Thank you!!
