My mood while writing this blog: Ok

Week Twenty Six
November 30, 2008 - December 6, 2008

To begin

I cannot believe how fast time is flying by....Christmas is almost here!! I have been having alot of back pain lately and cannot sleep at all!! The joys of pregnancy I guess - This week has been the hardest so far. I went and saw my family doctor because of my back pain and she suggested I get a pregnancy back brace and use hot/cold compresses too....I have been using the hot water bottle nightly and it works until I get up and move around again!! I still have a few months of this left :(, but I know it is all worth it!! I have been having dreams about what she is going to look like and when I wake up, i want to go back to sleep so I can see her again!! It is still surreal to me that in March, I will be holding my little girl....I am nervous, scared, anxious and excited all at the same time. It is going to be an amazing time in my life!! She still kicks me like crazy all the time and I feel her moving like crazy all day/night - I like feeling her, it makes me know she is ok!! This next week I am going into my 3rd trimester.......wish me luck!!
