Monday:

I didn’t exercise today so I’m not sure how I could’ve pulled a muscle in my hip. It’s not hurting or stiff like it normally is. It really feels like I pulled a muscle in it or something. So when I get up to walk it’s kind of challenging. 

On another note, my personal space heater has been activated. I remember being really hot towards the end of my pregnancy with Lincoln. We got some yard work done on Saturday which was great. My Aunt had an abundance of Soloman’s Seals, Lariope, and a few other plants that she was more than happy to part ways with. My dad dug up a bunch and dropped if off for us to plant over the weekend. We were only able to get the Lariipe planted before the rain started. I’m looking forward to getting the rest of these plants in the ground. This weekend is wide open, it’s Mother’s Day, and we don’t have any plans so we’ll be able to get some work done around the house. 

 I’m getting really tired and still have so much to do. Today was productive but now I’m exhausted at 9:30 and I don’t think I have it in me to study tonight. Maybe I’ll take a little cat nap real quick and then get up in an hour to read. 

Tuesday:

I tossed and turned all night; I’m paying for it today. It doesn’t help that it’s gloomy out and has been raining all day. I’m super tired. My hip still hurts when I get up to walk, my lower back is beginning to ache, heartburn is teasing an appearance and I have a stomach ache. I’ve been taking it easy today. Letting Lincoln play on his tablet and watch TV so I can at least rest my body. I just sat down on the toilet maybe 30 seconds ago and Lincoln just showed up asking if I’m done. I told him, “I literally just sat down.” He’s resilient, like his mother, and has decided to wait it out in here with me. “Hiding” behind the towels. Anyhow, I think Brian is going to take the boys with him to go grocery shopping later today, so maybe I can take a cat nap then. 

I don’t want to take any pain relief medication but after last night, it’s not sounding like such a bad option right now. Hopefully tonight I can get comfortable and sleep without much pain. 

Wednesday:

Today was a muuuch better day. I didn’t sleep with a pillow between my legs but I managed to sleep well and with minimal pain. Yay! I guess whatever I pulled in my hip the other day fixed itself, or maybe it was the body massage I got before bed last night because walking around today felt so much better than yesterday. I don’t know if I’ll sleep with a pillow tonight. We’ll see. It’s so random this pain.
