Sciatica... SUCKS!

So there is this great thing about pregnancy. Sciatica pain. Pain that starts in my lower back and goes through my right butt cheek and down the back of my right leg to my calf. OUCH!!! It hurts to bend over, pick things up, get up, stand for long periods of time. Sometimes I even have to have Nathan move my right leg for me so I don't have to and then it doesn't hurt as badly. Online it says it could help to lay on the opposite side or to use heat or cold on it. I guess we need to buy a heating pad or something. I know it is part of being pregnant, but it has been a little bit more painful than I thought it would. Oh well - in the end I will have a beautiful baby to hold and love. It will all be worth it!
