Pregnancy Week 19

[RCook]

Ok, well I will be 19 weeks tomorrow..close enough. lol =)

It has been a rough few weeks.  I have been having terrible back pain for about two weeks.  My OB/GYN has referred me to a spine specialist and I will go to him the first time tomorrow.  A few people have told me that my pain sounds like sciatic nerve pain...but I have no idea since I've never had any back pain before.  I have constant pain in my lower back and sometimes I'll have pain that shoots up my back or down my leg.  And I have a very hard time with transitioning from standing to sitting and vice versa.  I am really looking forward to seeing the doctor tomorrow because I'm hoping he can help me.  I hope there are some exercises or stretches or something that can help relive the pain, we'll see tomorrow I guess.

I have still been having the nausea every night, but nothing too severe...just makes me not want to see or smell any food...all I have to do is eat dinner before 6:30 every night and the nausea doesn't even effect my eating or anything.  This isn't too bad.  I can handle this. lol

I had my second ultrasound on February 19, 2008 at exactly 18 weeks.  We are having another girl!  (Alyssa was right all along. lol)  We are super excited about it...of course we didn't care if the baby was a boy or a girl....it's just so much fun to find out!  I went and bought a little onesie that said, "Daddy's girl" on it.  Jeff is a good daddy to Alyssa...he was meant to have girls! lol

We have decided to name our second little girl Madelynn Grace and call her Mady.  So far everyone likes that name....but I don't care if someone didn't like it....that is the name she will have!!! lol  Remember, don't mess with pregnant hormonal women!!! lol

Well, that is about it that is new....so until the next update....

Bonsoir!
