Leg Cramps

I had my first leg cramp 2 days ago. OMG! I just stretched my leg while i was in bed, and it just came so fast. It was so painful. I started to cry, which woke tai up. He began to massage my calf to hopefully stop the spasm. It was a good 30 seconds to a minute until the cramp subsided. This is the most painful thing i've ever experienced up until now. I know that's not gonna last coz i have labor coming in a couple more months.

I emailed Dr. Dong again, (i started to limp after the cramp) about my leg, and she advised me to go to L&D to get it checked out. She wanted to make sure that it wasn't a blood clot or anything.

So I was seen today, and luckily it was nothing. They said that the pain will go away in a couple of days and just to take tylenol.

I've been feeling a lot of little kicks lately. At first it was the weirdest thing, but now it makes me so happy to feel her moving. I always have my hand on my tummy every night before i go to sleep.

I'm wearing maternity pants now, but still am fairly small. i've only gained 9 lbs. I'm expecting that to double in the next couple of weeks. I'm just trying to nourish this little girl as best as i can. Hopefully it won't take a toll on my body.

They gave me a list of birth classes today. I'm interested in taking the breastfeeding, and the infant cpr class. Now i just have to find the time to go.

I read my books everyday. She's almost the size of a grapefruit.
