05-5-2008 - too early for this!

My mood while writing this blog: trying to be tolerant

~My back is killing me!!! I did not think this pain would start so soon - I still have the rest of May, June, July and most of August to go!!! ARGH!! I can barely sit here in my chair at work. I have a jacket rolled up to use as a cushion pressed against my middle back! This rib/mid back pain seriously HURTS. And there is nothing that can really be done! I don't want to take Tylenols everyday for it, I mean, that can't be good for Baby to have Tylenol EVERYDAY! I do not know how I am going to make it for another 4 months, seriously. I can't sleep in my bed, in the recliner, or even on the couch! The floor is the only place I can get any kind of sleep. Other wise I am constantly rolling over and trying to reposition, because my back hurts enough that it wakes me up or keeps me awake. At least on the floor I can sleep an hour or two without waking up. *SIGH* I really hope that I can find something to help with this. I don't really know what else to do :( ~~ANYHOW~~ I am going to try to listen everyday with the stethescope my sister let me borrow, and see if I can hear Baby's heart :) So far no luck, but it's early yet. He was kicking away for most of the morning today, so inspite of this horrid back pain, I was pretty happy this morning :) It still seems so wierd how he can kick me above my bellybutton one moment, and then I feel a 'kick' or something WAY WAY down there, like maybe he is trying to kick his way out! lol. It's the wierdest thing. Well, I suppose it's back to work for me - only about an hour and a half left, THANK GOODNESS!! ~
