More complaining. I have a feeling that's all you're going to get from me until the baby's here.
My hips have been in horrible pain. When I walk, it feels like the bones are grinding against one another, which I assume is caused by the baby's head spreading my hips apart. Whoa it hurts though. Often I have to just sit down and take a break because there is no way I can walk any further. Whenever I roll over at night, my hips pop and crack and hurt like hell.
Yesterday the midwife was feeling around my belly trying to figure out how exactly the baby is positioned. She always asks me if I feel kicks on the right side because she thinks his back is on the left, and I always say no. I rarely feel them on the right. She seemed baffled and kept feeling around, and for some reason had an overwhelming fear that she was going to tell me that she felt two. What a surprise that would be. I keep telling myself it's impossible. but she thinks his back is against mine and that his arms and legs are curled up against my belly. I hope he flips around so he is face down before he comes, but it's unlikely. So it looks like I'm going to have some bad back labor.
As for this flu thing, it's still lingering. but it's better. It's been reduced to just a cough pretty much, and my throat isn't so raw.
I'm tired of not thinking about anything except the baby. I can't think about anything else for long even if I try. I can't dream of anything else. It's sort of driving me crazy.
