waddle

I used to wonder why pregnant women walked so awkwardly. Now I know. It's because it hurts!

My hips have been aching on and off. Mostly I just have to be careful when I get in and out of bed or from the car. Then, yesterday, I tried being helpful and took some heavy boxes to the UPS Store while Jason was out at work. I don't think they weighed more than 40 lbs each, but by the time I got home I was hurting. I tried spending the rest of the day laying down, but Mason didn't think that was a very fun game.

Today is a bit better, and I found that if I take a big stride with my left leg and then just bring up my right I can avoid a lot of the discomfort. I look like a zombie but I can move a lot faster!

I am bewildered that at this point in my first pregnancy I was exploring the ruins of Machu Picchu in Peru.
