i flipped the mattress, got a new mattress pad, and a new pillow. boy was i more comfortable! and can you believe that the headache has finally subsided! THANK YOU GOD. :)
so, seeing as it was a cool day- in the 60s! (it was very cloudy and gray outside) bean and i decided to go to the zoo. we packed up a quick lunch and headed out with our windbreakers and umbrella, just in case. i love going to the zoo on days like this because there is NO ONE there. everyone is so afraid of rain that they stay home and we actually get to enjoy ourselves! woo hoo!
the zoo was fantastic. the weather was fantastic. and bean made a new friend. that is a picture of bean loving on her. she totally fell in love with this female orangutan. she kept asking to go back there so she could see her again! (see this is why the zoo being empty was great, if it was crowded she never would have gotten this close and i NEVER would have been able to get a picture of it!) it was the best day i've had in over a week. bean and i had FUN today. i was so happy it nearly brought tears to my eyes.
the only problem i had was after we got to the zoo, i started walking across the parking lot and gasped in pain. oooh yeah, the migraine is gone but oh the sciatic nerve pain kicked in! so every step was a little ouchy today and some were really ouchy. but hey, after a 4 day headache a little pain in my butt is not so bad. ;)

Thats great you had such fun together, hope you are recovering ok
Yay, glad the headache is gone and you're feeling better! Of course, that's just to be replaced with the next pregnancy pain. ;o) Sounds like an awesome day at the zoo! I love that picture so much, such a sweet expression and the reflection is great
Have you got some stretching exercises to help with the sciatic pain? as a sufferer I can recommend the one where you lie on your back, knees bent, cross the affected side's leg across the other knee then lift both legs towards your chest. It stretches out your buttock muscle which is often what is trapping the nerve. Oh and Baby Angel and I loved the photo today. We put it up in a full window so we could see the orangutan better. She is sooooo looking at the Bean intently. What a wild connection.
