21 Weeks

This week is all about the lower back pain.  I guess I should have worked harder at having good posture as a kid.  Oh well, not much I can do about it now.  By the end of each day my back is so sore, I guess I should find my heating pad, I'm sure that will help a little.  I've also been having a little bit of groin pain every once in awhile.  It feels like I pulled a muscle.  It probably doesn't help that I now weigh more then I did when Kieran was born.  I started out heavier this time around so I've gained actually less then I had with Kieran at this time but still my body isn't used to all this extra weight.

Last week I complained at my doctor at my appointment.  I called the OB office and asked for a second opinion.  The receptionist said she'd talk with Dr. Jenkins and the triage nurse.  They got back to me a few days later stating that Dr. Jenkins definitely wanted to check my cervix at each appointment, and my next appointment was going to be with him so I wouldn't have to worry about dealing with that annoying dr at least for a little bit.  This is definitely a relief, because I want to go as close as full term as possible. 

Not much else going on except the out of breath feeling when I go up too many stairs.  Maybe I should have continued to walk and shouldn't have been so lazy.  Oh well, no going back now.

Oh and this wouldn't be a weekly post without my photos so here they are....enjoy!
