My sciatica has been keeping me down for a few days, often on the couch or the bed in a lot of pain if I move. Heck, even lying down hurts until I can get the pillows just right to support me. Thankfully, I have a husband with wonderful hands who has helped me at night to get some relief. I really think that if it wasn't for his hands, I would have an even harder time walking around than I already do. This pregnancy is a lot harder than the last two so far, and I even weigh 40 pounds less than I did when I had Cam! But then I am older, and more sedentary in some ways. Problem is, it's difficult to walk off some weight when slow walking is so very painful.
Thankfully, I had some Harry Potter to read to pass some of the time, and Cam, while not always helpful, can at least play on his own, even if he has to do so right next to me and talk loudly about his playing. I only wish I could get on the floor with him and his trains/trucks/blocks, etc. Maybe tomorrow.
I did finish "The HP Book" today, and wow, just wow. There is so much in that book I am going to have to re-read it... and the rest of the series because I've forgotten so much in the past few years. And for some people who I know are in the middle of reading it... get out your tissues as you get closer to the end chapters... you will need a lot of them. I sure did. Wow.
pregnancy,
harry potter,
