Sometimes Being Pregnant Isn't Fun

I'm just having one of those days, or two now, where I can't get comfortable sitting, standing, walking, lying down, etc. I just ache, mostly my back.

But otherwise, it's all right. It can be fun. Feeling a baby, a person, move inside you is incredible. S/he's certainly not "just a lump of tissue," but someone with a mind of his/her own. If I lay on my stomach, s/he kicks the bed. And when I press back on whatever part is sticking out, she moves away. Thankfully, s/he's not like her/his mama, who would kick harder when she felt resistance. My dad and I would squeeze my poor mom between us!

But I can't complain; I'm haven't had morning sickness constantly like two of my friends did. And I have quite a helpful husband who is very sympathetic, although not too excited about the diaper thing.
