You probably noticed I moved the blog to a different URL. I’ve been meaning to do it for months now, since “ttc” really didn’t fit anymore, but I kept putting it off figuring it’d be complicated. Yeah. It took me about 30 seconds. I just hope everyone found their way over here.<\/p>\n

I’ve managed to get a handle on the pain, and I’d discovered what a large part of the problem was\/is: sitting in my chair at my desk. That’s where I eat my meals, at my desk. So this morning I get up and get a bowl of cereal like usual and sit down… and within minutes the pain starts mounting. So yesterday when I woke up with minor pain and sat down to let it go away? I inadvertently made it far far worse. I know that chair is in good shape, I’ve never had issues with it before and it’s got lots of padding… but something in my body has changed enough that it DOES NOT like that chair. So I spent a lot of time this morning walking around (walking seems to loosen things up). I finally put a pillow on the chair just so I could sit and eat, and that worked okay… but it still wasn’t comfortable by any stretch. It’s a good thing I have my laptop, as it seems I will be spending far more time reclined in bed, doing work here. Granted it’s what I have been doing a lot lately, but now I apparently don’t have much of a choice.<\/p>\n
Den sees a chiropractor monthly, and he has an appointment on wednesday… so he’s going to ask them if they see pregnant patients and find out about getting an appointment set for me. Our insurance covers chiropractic care (other than a small copay), and I’ve heard from several other people that dealt with pinched nerves\/sciatica that chiro care is the only thing that helped them. Hey it’s worth a try. Even if the whole idea of chiropractic adjustments kind of freak me out.<\/p>\n
Other than that I’ll just continue to be careful how I sleep (I can sleep on my left side, but only at certain angles… if I sleep directly on my hip it really really hurts), avoid sitting at that chair, and try to make sure I stretch my legs frequently. I wonder if I warm bath would help at all? This isn’t muscle pain like that one time I had really bad leg pain… so I don’t know how much it would help.<\/p>\n

Devin’s moved. He has his fingers or his toes really low down… he’s been tickling me down there for about an hour. Very very strange feeling, I must say! I’m not used to feeling movement that low.<\/p>\n
And now he’s back to kicking my belly button, like normal.<\/p>\n
