No news is good news

We had our monthly midwife appointment yesterday, and there wasn’t any real news to speak of. Everything is normal, healthy, and as expected. Of the most interest is that we decided upon March 12th as our new due date.

Otherwise, the pregnancy is progressing. Zippy has become quite a kicker, and I can feel her kicking for a few periods every day. So far, the only other person she’s allowed to feel it is her father. Soon, I hope to share the odd sensation with other friends and family members.

I’m doing okay except for that persistent back pain. Sitting in the armchair sometimes at work has kept it from being unbearable. Yesterday, the midwife suggested trying arnica, a homeopathic remedy for back pain. Making things worse, today I woke up with my neck acutely out of joint. I worked from home most of the day, and am hoping to get in to see the chiropractor tomorrow.

I miss the occasional drink, but I’d happily skip a glass of wine for a good dose of ibuprofen right about now.
