I'm sure there's a biblical reference here...

Well I'm 34.5 weeks pregnant and officially uncomfortable for the first time. Let me clarify. Not just uncomfortable. In some of the worst pain I've ever felt in my entire recollection of pains felt in my life. This is exactly the reason why I stayed as functional as possible and did as many things around the house and at work as possible. I have zero guilt (not that I should at all) for being completely laid up right now. It's not mandated bed rest, but any small movement makes me cringe and actually brings an occasional tear to my eye.

So what's happening you ask? Oh, well my amazing baby who has been phenomenally head down for 12 weeks decided to move from his cozy position along my right side to my left and has in the process dislocated at least one or more ribs. Hence the biblical reference. I'd elaborate but I've never read the bible. But I know enough to know there's something there. I'm pretty sure it has to do with me and a mans ribs but apparently my baby isn't religious either so he didn't get the memo that he's not supposed to eff with moms ribs in utero. But I digress.

When he first moved it wasn't THAT bad. Occasional sharp pain with a dull ache. Not awesome but not terrible. Then I bent down today. That's when I felt a rib move. Oh then things got fun. 

At this point any movement is painful. Silly things like getting in or out of the car or sitting on the toilet can reduce me to tears. Exciting stuff. 

The nurse at my midwifery said it should subside by tomorrow and to ice it but in general there's really nothing I can do. Again. Really exciting stuff here...

Here's hoping my ribs chill out sooner than later because this is horse hockey.
