Rainy Day blues

Last night I got my first prenatal massage. It was decent albeit a bit uncomfortable. I was asked to lay on my side and switch sides after a while. I felt that the pressure they were applying to my back was too light, but the pressure they used on my shoulders was too much. Because of the pressure she used on my shoulders I barely slept last night. I spent the entire night tossing and turning due to a dull pain in my shoulder. After a while I got up and went to lay on the sofa and finally was able to get a couple of hours of sleep. But b/c I'm not rich, I have to work...  I woke up extra grouchy,however, I made it. I'm now at work in the worst possible mood and of course it decides to rain, so not only am I sleepy, and grouchy, but this darn rain is depressing me. It's not even noon and I'm over this day. praying it will get better.

22 Week belly shot

This week.....

has been pretty uneventful. Nothing exciting to report. I've been having a bit of pain/discomfort in my pelvic bone area but that's pretty much it. My balance is completely off. I tried to wear a pair of wedges to church on Sunday and wound up twisting my ankle and falling, no more heels till July for me lol...

This little boy is very active. Feels like he's practicing kung fu in there it's pretty funny actually. Sometimes I feel him in two places at the same time I assume that's him stretching? I played some classical music to my belly the other day and he went crazy, I assume he liked it, or not... lol

That's pretty much it... I have my 6 mth Dr. appt on Monday hopefully all goes well with that.

Ciao

oh & happy new year all!
