Bras are good! I have gone from tearing my bra off soon as I get home from whatever outing (my typical mode of operation) to putting my bra ON soon as I wake up, just to sit in bed with my laptop. I find that my boobs are annoying me lots. It’s the same thing I always complain about – they’re hanging down lower and sitting on my belly a tiny bit, and that tiny bit is enough to drive me mental. So, bra. I like my bra.

However the caveat is that it’s my no underwire bra. My bra with underwire, while it does still fit me and it has more padding (so it, errr, covers up my huge pinty nipples now that it’s so cold out), drives me nuts. I cannot STAND the way the underwire digs into my chest/belly. So I think I’m going to have to get another 38C bra without underwire… or maybe a “sleep bra” for around the house? I still don’t wear one to bed though. Yick. I can’t wear anything to bed. maybe that’ll change too… but for now my only problem at night is how squashed my boobs feel when I try to lay on my stomach. (Yes it’s my boobs that are causing the problem, not my belly!) I guess they’re just more tender than they normally are! (Well, they’re probably growing again.)

I have been very sore today. It was one of those “weird” pains of pregnancy, I guess. I got to work and just started getting this throbbing pain in my left groin. Yes, my groin. It started up higher, like where my ovary is, and continued through my groin down my leg. It would hit, I’d wince, then it would go away. A minute later, same thing. It made cleaning very difficult, as you can imagine. I don’t even know what it was, a nerve or something? It wasn’t my uterus or round ligament pain. So I spent the day taking it easy and taking breaks in between moving around. Sitting down the pains lessened, but were still coming now and again. I was quite happy when Den suggested getting Subway for dinner, because I really didn’t want to be standing around making something!

So one of my due date groups on one of my forums (yes I have many) assigned us each a “buddy” from someone from the April ’07 playgroup. I got paired with a mama who is very crunchy… AP, cloth dipes, no vax, natural birth, and so on. She may be reading this too, so if she is – hiya! ;) We’ve only just started chatting but I’m excited. I do have friends on forums that are crunchy, but it’s cool to have a “mentor” of a sort, especially one who has stood in my shoes just a year ago. Even for questions that may seem simple like, “Is X kind of carrier going to be too hot in the summer months?”
