20 weeks and Severe Sciatica

Yaaaayyyy, I am 20 weeks and two days into our pregnancy. i am so excited. I am blessed.

Vitals, blood pressure border line, runs mostly 124/84 or so sometimes over 85.
Weight, high...yeah i feel huge
Fatigue, still unreal, can not stay woke past 8pm. I am tired all the time, even after walks, eating fruit and veggies, I am tired. But it is better than first trimester.
And now here coooooommmmmmmesss the Sciatica.

For those of you who don't know, Sciatica is fairly common in pregnancy. I had it before with daughter but it was third trimester I believe. This time, along with the neck pains, and the fatigue, I have severe sciatica in my butt. To the point that when i stand or try to climb stairs, two very sharp pains stab me literally in my butt and goes down my legs. I can't really make it up or down stairs without that happening. When i stand it happens, and today of all days, i sat on the couch and felt it on both sides. But in time this goes away. And then of course it comes back probably in third trimester.

I am so excited to be getting further and further towards third trimester and meeting Alexander.

Today was Christmas we had a wonderful wonderful time. Alayna and her cousins had a wonderful time. Mama and daddy are tired.

No battle cry today. instead Thank You God for our Savior Jesus Christ.
