Week 33 Dr.'s visit

As many of you know, my sciatic nerve has been causing no end of trouble. I got almost no sleep last night because between the muscles tightening all the way to my toes and the Braxton Hicks contraction I just couldn't get comfortable. I went to my doctor today and she said all is good with Sarah. She gave me a prescription for a muscle relaxer and a sleep aid but I don't think I will take either one. There isn't anything to do for the sciatic nerve though but wait it out. It seems that last week Sarah must have dropped down and as a result made a nice head rest out of the sciatic nerve. Dr. D said it is possible she could move and that would fix it. So please pray she adjusts her position because, WOW, this hurts. I've still got a lot to do before Sarah comes, and no ability to do most of it. I can barely put my socks on let alone, grocery shop, vacuum or do anything that includes walking, sitting or leaning over. My only comfortable position is laying on my right side. If I lay on the left, which is preferred for pregnancy, Sarah lays on nerves near my rib cage. If I drop something on the ground, sometimes, it just has to stay there.

Thank you for the chance to complain under the guise of updating you all. Dan has been awesome helping me out with stuff. He already took over the cat stuff and will be mopping the floors as well. That is very nice. He is already talking about putting tile down in the kitchen. I will keep you further updated. Love you guys!
