Ugh. Back Pain.

Sharp pains in my lower back (like sciatica pain) continues, and tends to be worse at night and upon waking. As I get up and move through my day, it tends to relax and improve. Outside of that, I feel pretty good. I get a little restless in the evening. Kath & I went to Babies R Us to register for things we want and need for when baby comes (Ray has NO interest in doing this with me). Only a few more days until the ultrasound! Ray has always wanted to know the gender of the baby and has all these logical reasons why we should find out. I have purely emotional ones (no logic necessary) as to why I don't. I have this image of hearing "It's a boy!" or "It's a girl!" in the delivery room... and I know it's out of a 50's movie. But it appeals to me. Also it doesn't really matter to me what we have, so why find out? I'm okay picking out gender neutral stuff... not naming the baby until we meet it. But it's SO important to Ray, that I give in. We won't have the same level of opportunity to plan after baby is born.
