My stretching Belly

Over the last week, I feel like my belly has stretched beyond its own limits. YES, I know I have 3 more months and it will "get worse". I am just starting to feel a little less comfortable. I need a pillow under my tummy and my back gets achy. I am trying to keep active as to alleviate the aching back pain. I may even start setting an alarm clock so that I stop sleeping 9 or 10 hours and maybe that will help with some of the stiffness. I am used to seeing Deb, my masage therapist every 6 to 8 weeks, but since I have been pregnant, I have not had a massage.
Perhaps, she and I can come up with a third trimester plan. She has been a life saver to me, since I was diagnosed with Degenerative Disc Disease. As long as I can keep my muscles relaxed, I seldom have the severe back pain that I lived with through 3 severe bouts, each lasting about 3 to 5 months. I think I will call her tomorrow and come up with a plan to see her and get some of the kinks out.
I feel like I ate a full Thanksgiving meal, like when your belly is sooo full there is no more room for another bite. And, the stretch marks are growing! Yikes!
BUT, I am feeling the baby move alot more often, which is wonderful! We are almost down to the double digit countdown, just a few more days and we will have less than 100 days to go.
