Maternity Photos + Back Cramping
Oh yesterday turned out to be a lovely day, despite getting up at 5:00am after going to sleep just before midnight.
I had made plans with my cousin Brae to go to her apartment and she would do a maternity photo shoot for me. I packed a tonne of different outfits and went on my way. I arrived at her place around 10:30 after spending the morning at B's work. I showed up and by 12:30 we were doing hair & makeup. We took a tonne of "motherly" shots out in her back yard in my long teal nighty, then headed over to a lake beach for some "by the water" shots. In total I had 4 different outfits on. In each set I found at least 3 favourites. We went through and picked out our favourites, and she will be retouching/editing them over the next few weeks. I will also get a copy of all of the shots, in their original form. I couldn't have been happier in regards to the way the photos turned out. I was a natural! =P I'll post them when I receive them =)
Also, yesterday I found myself in a lot of agony. The day before I was feeling off, in the tummy area, and then around 11 yesterday I found myself very uncomfortable, and then the terrible back cramps began. It was mainly on the right side of my lower back, and felt terribly similar to "period cramps". I was doing a bit of driving yesterday so I made sure to get out as often as possible and stretch my back. Any idea what this could've been I've had "sciatic pain" but this felt nothing of the sort!! This pain lasted most of the day, and was worse when I was sitting down.
Also, my stretch marks are bright red and BULGING out of my skin like a large vein would protrude. They are terribly itchy, but I do refrain from scratching them. Is this bulging normal? It looks and feels terrible. I've only noticed them doing so since I started those antibiotics, but I'm slow to thinking they may be related.
I am also VERY tired, so much so that my eyes are closing at the computer...
love&peace
