Pregnancy update

I haven't had a whole lot to write about with this pregancy since it's my second and I don't want to bore you all with the mundane details, but I thought I'd give a little update.

I'm 30 weeks and feeling oh so tired!!! I'm ready for it to be over. About a week ago I was having inflammation in the tissues between my ribs and couldn't lift or bend or hardly move at all. It was very painful. I got a prescription for medicine but it went away after a day of rest. Then a couple of days later I started having cramps and back pain. Usually it wouldn't last very long, but on this particular occasion it lasted for several hours. I got kind of worried and talked to a nurse. She said to rest and drink more water. Once I started doing that the pain lessened. No worries! I know my mom will probably read this and get extremely concerned. So, MOM, don't worry. It's all good. : ) Anway, the nurse said to try and find someone to watch Jackson every now and then so I can rest. *SCOFF* Yeah like that's gonna happen. I'm not afraid to ask for help, but as long as I feel fine, I think it'll be alright.

Yesterday, I had more cramps and back pain. And it lasted all day. Tylenol made it a little better, but I was pretty uncomfortable the whole day. I did my best to rest and drink lots of water. Jackson, however, is very demanding. He has to have lots of attention or he becomes very angry and starts banging his head on things. *sigh* Crazy kid. And mutual was last night! And I was in charge, so I did my best to get through it all. I'm okay now though. No worries! A good night's rest made it all better. I think I just start doing too much for my body to handle and it brings on a lot of pain. So, more laying around and less cleaning. Woohoo!! haha j/k

Names.....We have some names in mind for this little boy, but we haven't decided on anything. We're waiting for his arrival before we can pin down the right name. The names we like are Wyatt, Payton, Evret.....and there are others but those are the ones we like the most. Who knows....our minds could change completely and we could end up calling him Owen or George. So, nothing's entirely official.

You know that we can always watch Jackson. He can come next week when we all get back so that you can heal up if you want. And I can come clean your house too. Should I go over tomorrow after you leave and do the cleaning while you're gone? Would that be easiest? I don't want you overdoing like you said you have been!
