Geez, my back is killing me!!! At first I thought that it was just a passing thing and that things would get better but apparently, this is not the case.

Actually, I notice this while preggers with KR. But at the time I thought that it was merely part and parcel of being preggers what with the additional weight. But now that KR will soon turn 6 mths at the end of October, I don’t think it’s due to additional weight. Did I mention that I think I’ve lost WEIGHT?? Anyways, I noticed that these days I can’t sleep in late even if I wanted to. Not only because the kids are up early but on days that they sleep in, I can’t. I am up by ‘force’ at 7.30am. My internal clock wakes me up and what unables me to fall back to sleep is my blardy back.

It aches so bad sometimes I have trouble getting out of bed. But it doesn’t last long. Just 1/2 hour or so and I’m ok. So I’m think that it’s the bed la. More so, my side of the bed since I’ve slept twice on Ted’s side and although the pain isn’t totally gone, it’s a whole lot better. Stupid back….I’m also going to blame child bearing for this problem.

I mean, before kids, I was as fit as a fiddle. I could dance the whole night away at the club – literally! But now, omg….just a bit of wiggling to The Wiggles and I’m huffing and puffing. I know that age may [lying to myself here] be a factor why I’m achy here and there, but I think we shouldn’t dwell on such topics. Here’s a look at my history with the aches…After Arianna, I never really got back to pre-preggers weight but I was never overweight. I was however more healthy BUT pudgy. Due to breastfeeding, I had done my left wrist in, I think and despite bandaging it up and all that, it still hurts till today and sad to say, I can’t rest my weight on my wrist. Eg. I can’t do push up anymore or do the Sleeping Buddha with my left wrist. After KR was born, on top of hurting my wrist more, my knees now ‘sing’. I got a major shock one day when I was walking up the stairs when I heard this creaking sound. At first I thought it was my old slippers and never gave it another thought until I was wearing shoes another day and the same sound came on. When I took a closer listen, I realised that it was my freaking right knee!!! And now that I’m so sensitive to it, I can actually feel the grinding when I walk up the stairs…scary right?? :/ It doesn’t hurt at all but the sound, haiyola!! On top of the wrist AND knee….now the back is also giving problem. My goodness, I feel like an old woman telling you all these aches and pains. I didn’t expect all these pains to some so early in my life!

I tell you, by the time we are done with kids, I will be in pieces!! +_+
