I had grand plans for today. I was going to do laundry, get my kitchen 100% clean again (it's not far from it now), tidy the house, work on packing lists, take Guy for some shots, and stop by Babies R Us for a neck pillow for him for our trip.
Then I woke up this morning with the worst round ligament pain in my life. I was terrified for the first hour or so that it was a blood clot. It got beter moving around, so I figured it wasn't. Then I thought it felt like cramps, and I was afraid I was miscarrying. But I'm not bleeding and have felt the baby kicking more today than I have the entire pregnancy.
After limping through the morning, spending a big chunk of time on the couch with a heating pad, I put Guy down for a nap and hopped in the tub for a hot bath.
Instant relief. It was miraculous. That's when I realized, "Round ligament pain!" and relaxed a bit. In the bath I started making alternate plans for the rest of the day.
Then I got out. Wham! Came right back. Oh, well. Not much I can do except apply heat when it's really driving me nuts, try not to move suddenly or carry anything heavy, and hop back in the bath if I can't take it anymore.
Thank goodness dinner will be easy, and Josh will be home in less than two hours. Frankly, this hurts!
