3 mos and 3 weeks update

I have been experiencing pain discomfort on my pubic area. I think it was about 3 weeks ago when there was like a throbbing feeling down there. I felt it more when I am walking or when I am putting my weight on my legs when I am standing. I feel it more when I am putting on my leggings and standing on one leg (left leg mostly). It comes and goes too. This week, last weekend, I felt it again that Sunday when we were with the family in Eugene/Portland. Walking was quite a pain and uncomfortable. I would press my hand on top of my pubic area just to ease the discomfort. I checked online and found about  SPD (symphysis pubis dysfunction). I read other pregnant moms' experiences and it somehow does point to this same condition. It says that "SPD means the ligaments that normally keep your pelvic bone aligned during pregnancy become too relaxed and stretchy too soon before birth (as delivery nears, things are supposed to start loosening up). This, in turn, can make the pelvic joint — aka the symphysis pubis — unstable, causing some pretty strange sensations and sometimes pelvic pain." Normally, this happens later in the pregnancy. Some moms feel this when their 30, 34, 36 weeks in. But there are also some, who like me, well not so much like my case, some get to experience this on their 20th week or so. I'm only what, 15 weeks in. I dunno but I hope this is nothing serious. I can take this pain and still bearable, only uncomfortable. We'll have our appointment next Friday, 22nd. By then, we may be able to learn about the gender! We have a lot of questions in line. I hope I'd get to squeeze all of them in our 10 minute appointment.

Aside from this, we're also searching for a new place. Our lease here ends in May. So far only 2 scheduled viewings. Job search is also on the list. Martin has been getting call backs. I hope he gets to find a better job. I hope to get a job too. While I can move and I am still comfortable, I hope to maximize my time on this. Time to toughen up.
