Backache
I sure hope my husband comes through with his talk of helping out around the house more. I’m going to need it. I did a little vacuuming in the dining room and kitchen just now and my back is hurting like crazy. Won’t be vacuuming much from now till well after Amelia gets here. If my husband doesn’t help, my house is going to become a pig sty pretty quick! Even when my nesting phase kicks in, I still won’t be able to do as much as I want.
Ugh!

Congratulations on the impending new arrival! At the risk of sounding self promotional, you TOTALLY need to check out an article on my site entitled “The Hunt for the Vacuum Cleaner Gene” (in the archives). Sounds like you might need it.
I remember those days. When my nesting set in I thought I wouldn’t be able to do anything. Boy was I wrong. I cleaned here, I cleaned there, I cleaned everywhere. My husband did help out when I asked him. As for back pain, have hubby massage it. I used a small heating pad. One that you can toss in the microwave for a minute. Also elevate your feet when you can.
