Week 17 - Back Pain

I still can't believe that Josh and I are going to be having a little girl. It's such an amazing thought to know that we are going to have a daughter. I have been getting a lot of questions on why we decided to name her Rachel and I will be more then glad to expain it to you all. Josh has always loved the name Rachel Anne even before he knew I had a sister named Rachel, she's Rachel Maire. When he told me that name I just fell in love with it. My sister has been one of my main strengths during some really hard times in my life. Without her I know I would not be the woman I am today. I would be absolutely BLESSED to have a daughter named Rachel. So there you go, that's why we chose Rachel Anne.

This last week I have been starting to have back pains and they stay all day no matter what I do. It's been a bummer trying to sleep normally as well. I used to always sleep on my back and end up on my stomach...now I have to stay on my sides and I'm not used to it. I wonder if the way I am sleeping my be a reason why my back hurts.

I love being pregnant but this constant desire for food is starting to bug me. No matter how much I eat I am hungry again 2 hours later. If I don't go to bed with a full stomach I wake up sick and end up throwing up. Lovely, I know. Today has been a bad day. I can't eat anything without it making me want to gag. I really hope this loveliness passes soon. Oh well. I still can't belive that I am almost half way through the pregnancy. I am counting down the days 'till I get to see and hold my beautiful baby girl.
