8 Weeks pregnant!!


I haven’t written in a while because the symptoms have been the same. Nausea, fatigue, mood swings, hunger, etc...

I have decided to write once a week so I can have more to say.

Tomorrow, Robert and I will be going on a cruise to the Bahamas. We did not expect to leave pregnant when we booked the trip, but life is full of surprises. At least the baby will have traveled before he/she is born!! hahahaha

One new symptom has emerged, that is a pain on the right side of my butt. I was reading and found a website that stated the following:

"This is common and is a result of the pressure the uterus is applying to the low part of the spine. You may be experiencing a sharp pain in your buttocks and along the side of your thigh as well. This is due to the uterus placing pressure on the sciatic nerve that innervates the buttocks and side of your leg. If these discomforts are troublesome, you may be asked to rest and have physical therapy. " http://www.womenshealthcaretopics.com/pregnancy_week_8.htm

Right now is not that bad, but sometimes it becomes bothersome, especially when I am laying down or sitting for a long time. This along with my restless legs makes it IMPOSSIBLE to rest and relax at night.

I guess we must all go through a lot of rain before we see the rainbow! No matter what I go through it will be worth it and I would not change it for the world!!!

ok, see ya when we come back!!!

Symptoms: same as usual plus pain in the butt (literally) haha...
