Ouch!

This new little one just about wore his welcome out last night. He has found just the right spot to situate himself to where my sciatic nerve is in constant pain. Last night I couldn't even move. Every little movement felt like someone was stabbing me with a very sharp knife in the hip. It was all I could do to get to bed (with Garys help). I called the nurse in Labor & Delivery and she gave me some things to try. The one that ended up working was crawling around on all fours. By doing that, I got into the bathroom for a hot bath (and to use the toilet), and am able to get temporary relief this morning. So far it hasn't been as bad this morning, I slept with a hot pad on my hip last night, but I am afraid it is just going to get worse throughout the day. I will probably try and teach my Gospel Doctrine class sitting down. We'll see how things go. Luckily Mom & Dad are coming to help with Dan since Gary is at Guard. If this keeps up I'll have to borrow Gary's moms crutches!
