3rd Trimester Pics

I meant to post a couple picks with my 28 week update, but, of course I hadn't taken any (2nd child problems).  Okay, the other and more likely reason was that I hadn't been "dressed" enough for a picture in a while (working from home problems).  I was actually home this Sunday, so I was dressed for church (and a picture!).

So, here ya go...

 

I went and got a mommy-to-be massage yesterday.... WHY in the world do I not get massages more often?!?  I know that sitting at a computer all day has really messed my neck and back up.  I was on pain a lot, way before I was pregnant.  As I said before, my sciatic nerve has really been flaring up as well, so a massage was very needed.  I think she said my back felt like "guitar strings."  I can't remember exactly what she said but she said my neck was one of the worst she ever felt and she was really surprised that I don't have more headaches.   It didn't occur to me until then that I have had far LESS headaches since I've been pregnant (minus the 1st trimester).   I guess hormones can have some positive effects!  Sometimes I feel like they probably say this to everyone to encourage more massages, but I know it's true in my case. One of Andrew's friends that's a physical therapist (and not looking for business from me) pretty much told me the same thing. He said my neck/back were just all full of knots.  I think I'm going to start treating myself to massages more often.  I have a feeling I'll need them even more after we've got TWO rug rats running around (and I'm back to sitting at a desk all day... boo) !!! :-)
