Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh

This week has been one of the strangest weeks I can remember...

I was told that people have back pain when they are pregnant and before this week I have escaped this problem, but lo and behold yesterday I experienced extreme discomfort in my lower back. My feet are swollen and in pain as well...ugh not a fan! Once again I present another reason to dislike pregnancy in general.

I guess that doesn't really make my week strange.

I found out that my best friend's mom has cancer-we aren't sure how bad it is, but I honestly am lost for words as to what to say. It is so out of the blue that I'm completely caught off guard and if I'm feeling that way I can't imagine how she is feeling at this moment. I wish there was something that I could do or say to make the situation better, but to be honest I just feel helpless. This woman is like my 2nd mom; in high school I was over at their house all the time and she never once got annoyed with me always being around or anything. I just want to be there for her and my best friend as much as I can during this difficult time.

That made my week strange. Realizing that our parents are getting older-that we are getting older. That the older we get the more this type of news will start to surround us. (that is a fragment, it bothers me but I'm not going to fix it)

My mom also found out that her diabetes is type 1 which means that it is genetic, which heightens my chance of having it or my child having it. It also means that my mom will always have to take insulin shots rather than the possibility of going on pills to control her diabetes. I know she was really upset about this and upset that it's genetic and we had no idea about it.

Strange. Just strange. I don't know, maybe not.
