One Day Short of Full Term...

and I don't know what this little nugget is up to right now, but I think he needs to quit it!

For the past 3 hours or so, I've had lower back pain. Now, back pain has been completely common in this pregnancy, but it's not usually localized in the lower area. It more so occurs if I'm sitting with poor posture; typically I just get situated sitting straight up with a good pillow or something supporting my back and it feels fine. Boom, problem solved.

This time though, I took 2 tylenols (which I haven't done at ALL this pregnancy) and my back still aches. I'm paying attention for anything that could be contractions, but all I'm getting are normal baby kicks and movements. Nothing crazy or different.

I don't think anything is happening yet. and seriously, it better not! Nick is underway with the boat until friday, so I'd have to try to slow down or just tolerate early labor until he got home in two days. ugh! I'm gonna make sure tonight my hospital bag is packed for sure just in case.. haha.

For right now, I'm gonna take a nice hot shower (one of my favorite things this pregnancy anyway). The heat is always relaxing and it may soothe my stupid back. So we'll see what happens.. hopefully nothing for now! If it is, I'll be able to read this entry and see how it all began... yikes!
