I thought it was part of looking at a computer all day. Glad to know that i have a really good way of saying it now. I use to just say my neck and wrists hurt. This is much better. Thanks.

As a photographer we have problems like this alot because of the heavy cameras that we lug around each weekend. They are really annoying and painful. I hope that it gets better for you.

Before I didn't get how how the baby was held. It seems William will soon grow out of this one. Thank goodness for swings!

I don't think I have pictures of this anywhere, and I haven't had to do it so much with my second child, but if I recall correctly, the move is basically a matter of making a fist and touching your sternum with the thumb side of it and your knuckles pointed up. If you were to look down at your hand, you'd be looking at the back/top of it. It just puts your arm in a little different position so that the painful underside of it isn't bearing the load quite as much. Kevin, I'm just slow to mod comments; yours on my post is live now. :) Hi, guys.

I had commented there the other day asking for photos too (brushing up on my holds for child number 2 due in August) but I guess my comment must have got marked as spam or something cause it never showed up. Oh well. I think I know what he was getting at, but photos would definitely help. Lloyd – I see you posted to Daryl’s site asking for photos.
