Seriously, Ow

Recently, I went back and re-read some of my archives from my pregnancy with Mina. It seems that I have completely forgotten all of the rough bits and I only remember the good ones.

I can see in black and white, that at about this time with Mina I was experiencing a serious loss of lung space and that Mina was lying transverse and kicking me under both sets of ribs. I seem to remember her as being calm, reserved, and quiet. Oh how my memories have dimmed!!!

With baby 2, I have started experiencing rib pain and numbness a couple of weeks ago. It is most readily remedied by lying down or walking around with my arm over my head. It is exacerbated by carrying around a nearly 30 pound toddler (but she is SO CUTE) and sitting for any period of time. Early on, it would just bug me at night. Now it starts early in the day and goes on until I lay down to sleep at night.

I read that it should go away when the baby drops in about 10 weeks. HAHAHA.

She just kicked me to remind me to quit whining and be happy. Ok- you win this round baby two.
