So we went to the doctor on Wednesday and learned a whole lot about breastfeeding. Michael said he hasn't seen that many boobs in a video since college.
When we got to the appointment, I was pulling down my tights when my thumb started to hurt.
"Ouch!"
The midwife: "What's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing. My thumbs have been hurting for a couple of weeks for some reason."
"... Yeah. That's carpal tunnel. Very common during pregnancy."
"What? Seriously?"
"You should wear wrist braces when you sleep. It should go away after you have the baby. Eat less salt. Buy wrist braces."
"... oh. Okay."
So, adding to my list of super non-sexy things I'm donning during the first year of marriage in the bedroom: body pillow (my boyfriend), the wedge pillow (my girlfriend), my beer gut (the smaller Zaller), and my carpal tunnel wrist braces.
How in the heck is all this stuff related to pregnancy? Carpal tunnel? Come on.
