Back to the Real World

I'm happy to report that I have had so much improvement over these last few days.

I don't have any more back aches/pains, my belly is decreasing in size about 1/2" every day and I haven't had to take any medicine, not even tylenol, in several days.

My biggest issue now is having to get up at least 2 or 3 times every night to go to the bathroom. I was waking up like clockwork every morning at 3:30 am and staying up for an hour and I haven't done that either for almost a week.

Another huge milestone is that Steve finally gets to sleep in his own bed again! He has had alternative sleeping arrangements for three weeks now because I couldn't have him tossing and turning in the bed and I needed so many pillows to sleep there wasn't room for him anyway. Me waking up in the middle of the night would have disturbed him also. I actually feel like I've been sleeping better with him, and of course Elly, back in bed just like it should be:)

I know that I must be feeling better if I was able to get out and go shopping this weekend. My mom took me out to help me find some pants so that I can go back to work Monday. Although I am progressively "shrinking", I still have a baby bump and can't wear my normal pants. I'm not near the size I was a week and a half ago so I can definitely handle this.

It's going to be hard going back to work after two weeks hiatus but I have been working from home this entire time so I wouldn't get too far behind. I have heard a comment about "you should see all the stuff piled on your desk". I'm not excited to see what that means.

After the past three weeks, I guess back to normal isn't looking too bad.......
