Sweet Pea: 14 Weeks
Weight: 136
Signs of Pregnancy: I’ve had a pain in my butt, or maybe I’m just a pain in the butt. I know a lot of pregnant women have issues with their sciatic nerve which is located in the lower back. But this pain is in my butt cheek. In addition, Frank says I have been really mean. And yeah, maybe I have been. But on the good side, I can wear my contacts again!
Baby Development: Sweet Pea is approximately 3.6 inches, the size of a lemon, and weights approximately 1.6 ounces. Our little sweet pea is full of expressions and can squint, frown, grimace and possibly suck his/her thumb! WOW! That’s a lot for such a small little baby. The kidneys are producing urine which is being released into the amniotic fluid.
Concerns/Thoughts: That I’ll continue to be mean the rest of this pregnancy.

Soak in a warm bath filled with Epsom’s salts for the butt pain. By the 8th month I was so inflamed I could hardly walk. I got stuck in our bathroom one night trying to change my pants! Bryan is hard of hearing and I must have hoovered back in the bathroom for a good 15 minutes before he heard my screams. Not fun! I had to go to a chiropractor and she recommended the salts. It wasn’t 100% relief, but it did help. I also sat on an exercise ball several times a day to ease that pain. Hope you feel better soon.

So…you’re having pains in your butt and being a pain in Frank’s butt? At least you two can share in the pain!
