Not all it's cracked up to be...

It's official...I'm 30 weeks pregnant, on the countdown to delivery and my fall last week landed me not only a bruised body getting over the pneumonia of January, but also a cracked rib.  I'm grateful it happened now so it has time to heal before labor and delivery.  But this being my first broken bone my whole life, I can now confirm that there is nothing fun about it.  Sunshine and milkshakes, my dad's cure-all for any sickness is doing me no good whatsoever.  In fact, my immobility is making me gain more weight than I want to.  Also, every time I cough it rattles my ribs and I want to cry.  So, January around our house officially stunk.

Okay, I can't be too ungrateful...Doug and I both started jobs which we love and are very grateful to have, as well as getting "caught up" and even "ahead" on a few things, so I guess I'm just being a big baby.  Let's hope for a good February!

You aren't being a big baby silly. Being preggers is uncomfortable enough, when you add a whole bunch of other hurts...well, that does suck.

Yet through it all, you thought to serve us! I am amazed and impressed! Thanks again.

Not fun! I hope that rib heals quickly. If your babies are anything like mine, your ribs are taking a beating from the inside as well. At least the light at the end of the tunnell is there now!
