Onward

I had been putting of getting splints for my wrists to wear at night because I felt like this carpal tunnel thing could be cured by drinking excessive amounts of water and additional pillows. In mentioning it to my doctor yesterday, she heartily recommended getting a brace - so I did. It seemed like a good idea especially when she said that he symptoms sometimes last as long as six weeks post pregnancy.

Let me tell ya, the splints work! It made a world of difference not to wake up several times during the evening with numb fingers or aching forearms. Don't get me wrong, I did my fair share of waking up to pee, complain about the heat and once to work out a leg cramp (calcium deficiency my ass - I can't possibly consume more dairy).

Now that this carpal tunnel thing is under control, I am ready to move steadily into the most awkward stages of pregnancy. Even if I feel like my pelvis is all loosey goosey every time I stand, at least I can still shave my legs.
