So for everyone out there that feels like I'm being flaky is wrong......I'm actually just lame. My back pain and now my rib pain are my constant companions, along with some terrible acid reflux. Seriously, I have never been in pain constantly like this. I now have a respect for people that suffer from pain on a continual basis. And what's even more frustrating is what I can't do about it. I've been told by some women that have been pregnant that their doctor prescribed them some sort of pain medicine. Mine won't. Tylenol is the answer I'm always given. Tylenol sucks. I figure if I complain enough at each visit that maybe it might magically make some prescription pain reliever become okay. I will say that my doctor did prescribe me some medicine for my acid reflux and it works. It's just that the acid reflux is so bad that as soon as the medicine wears off, it's back. So pretty much every 6 hours I have to take my medicine or else.
What stinks is that sitting down is so miserable so it makes work TERRIBLE. Standing gives me some relief so every now and then I'll randomly stand up. I'm sure my co-workers think I'm a weirdo. What's worse is that my husband took me out to Texas De Brazil for Valentine's Day. I LOVE this place. But half-way through the meal, the pain became unbearable. All I could do was lean to the side (which didn't look weird at all) and wait for Vincent to finish eating. I felt terrible. Seriously, I wish that I could enjoy this pregnancy but I can't. I can't wait for it to be over. I'm excited to be a mom but I will not miss this part. I know that a lot of women love being pregnant but I hate it. Not dislike, but hate.
So any of you out there are trying to make plans with me and I avoid them, I'm not exaggerating the extent of my pain. I am avoiding plans because I'm afraid to commit and then be in pain for the entire time. I promise that if I get pain relievers or if the baby gets out of my back and ribs then I will become a social butterfly again. Until then, it's work and school and then laying on a heating pad on the couch. I'll try to post blogs but I haven't felt the desire to write recently. It could be the fact that sitting and typing is painful or the fact that nothing has been going on due to the pain--take your pick.
Anyway, I just wanted to post something letting everyone know not to take my lameness personally. It's not. I'm avoiding everyone :)

I was telling Casey and Max the other night about how much pain you are in from the baby's position and they were talking about some way to move the baby's position...I dunno, maybe you have already tried what they are talking about, but if you want their number I can email it to you...just a thought.
