The gas pain

Wow! No one told me about gas pain. I mean....wow. Really. I had heard women get constipated but this is ridiculous! I've been super-extraordinarily constipated all day. What's worse--I've really needed to fart--and I just can't. I never knew it could hurt so bad. Now I understand why geri patients always fight the staff when the get constipated--they're just so darn uncomfortable.

Warren and I have nicknamed the baby "fish" from the widget that shows it's week 5 status--it's a little unsettling to look at!

I'm trying to convince W to talk to my tummy so that fish can get to know him and love him like I do. I know he doesn't get to carry it for nine months, but I think it's still sweet for fish to get to know his voice.

He's been very good about rubbing my tummy when it's upset--and it helps so much! He doesn't like when I rub it--because he says I do it too hard and I'm hurting fish.

Fish is making mommy tired. I'm off to bed. Maybe I can convince W to come with me!;)
