Wow! The pains are WORSE!!

Well, the dang sciatic pains as you know started last week, but have gotten pretty severe! This Saturday, I went to work and it was really busy. Like, I barely got to sit down at all. The pains were so bad I was having so much trouble walking. One of the nurses tried to get me a belly band from the maternity ward- but they didn't have any. So, she took a shoulder sling and cut the loops off them, and I used it. It was amazing at the weight it took off my back. The only thing is it wasn't too comfy. Before long, the band was cutting into my upper and lower abd and I wasn't able to continue to wear it. Sunday was somewhat busy, but I had time to sit and rest between patients, so the pains didn't start up until later that night (closer to time for me to go home). I am going to get the belly band since the shoulder sling proved to me that a good one will in deed lift the weight of my belly up and hold it so that there isn't so much pressure on my back. I hope this helps. Otherwise- making it through twelve hour shifts is going to be super rough. Even if it is only two days a week.
Baby Boy is doing fine. I feel him moving more and more. I love it! He got his first blue outfit from my mom the other day. So cute. A little blue and white stripped onesie with a pair of blue jeans. Also got his first "toy" which was a blue teddy bear holding a blue blanket that says "Thank Heaven for little boys." Also he got two bibs that say "I love Grandma/Grandpa".
I am hunting down names and also deciding on what to do the nursery in. Hard when the nursery is a girl and boy! Ha. And one is a two year old- one an infant. I am seriously thinking about the Fisher Price Rainforest stuff. They have girl and boy stuff- and Madi loves all animals. I am just not sure that the baby bedding will fit a toddler bed. I know it is smaller, but I don't know if it is too small to cover the bed. I am pulling down old bedding from Madi on Wednesday from our attic and I am going to do a "test". If it is too small- I am hitting up the fabric shops. I will hunt something that I can do both beddings in and possibly get my grandmother to work on their bedding.
well I will keep you all posted on the baby and decisions concerning their nursery. It looks as if I have decided to stay here and not sell our home.
