this sucks

we should always count our blessings.  and so far i feel really blessed throughout all this.

one prego pain that has hit is my sciatic nerve.  yes.  for the last 5 days there has been this pain in my lower back and my left butt cheek.  it hurts while i try to sleep and in the mornings.  when i am working and have been sitting for a while i have to pull/push myself out of my chair and then limp for a few steps before i can start walking properly.    the only reason i found to have this problem this early is that it's caused by my growing uterus.  

mike was really funny and said today:

"what a pain in the ass"

hehe...i thought it was hilarious!
