Ouch!

I am officially in the midst of my first truly uncomfortable symptom of pregnancy. Last week I began having round ligament pain. I stood up quickly from a sofa and nearly yelped out loud. The pain shot down my right side and left me doing the pregnant waddle for a good hour. It went away for most of the weekend, but returned yesterday and today. While it doesn't feel nice at all, it is a reassuring sign that my body is making room for baby to grow. All of the women in our birthing class seem to be having the same pains, and as they are all a few weeks ahead of me, my guess is that I'll be stuck with these pains for a while.

We get to find out the sex of the baby this Friday so stay tuned!
