I’ve recently been suffering from some wicked pelvic pain. Every time I roll over in bed, or have to put pressure on my legs when I’m laying down, it feels like my legs are about to remove themselves from my body. Not an especially good feeling at all. Having had a breeze of a pregnancy with Dekker and a not-so-breezy pregnancy with this baby, I figured this is what all pregnant women go through. I mean, how many times have I heard things about women not being able to sleep, or being super uncomfortable?! Tons!! However, I l0ve my chiropractor and figured an adjustment wouldn’t hurt, even if the pain was just there from carrying a baby.
Turns out it wasn’t all in my head! He said I shouldn’t be in the kind of pain I’m in just because I’m pregnant, and checked me over. He was pretty unhappy with how out of whack I was, and gave me lots of instructions to follow. He wants to see me again in a couple of weeks and then from then on, monitor me once in a while as I get pregnanter and pregnanter. My favorite rule was “Get out a bit! Go on a date, and take a break for carrying your toddler around.” I suppose I’ll abide by it. We already even had an invitation for a double date! Just have to find a babysitter and I’m sooo going out on a date! Maybe I’ll even dress up! I have some good stretchy dresses I think I could fit my belly into…
Brady also had an adjustment, and I got my legs waxed. After our appointments, we did a quick Costco shop. There are some amazing sales on right now, so we took advantage of a few and loaded our freezer yet fuller. Pulled pork anyone? We have a pretty extreme amount of pork roasts kicking around.
Dekker was shot by the time we got home so he went down for a nice long nap, and woke up just in time for Brady’s parents to arrive. We all sat in the living room and played toys with Dekker until he went back to bed. Poor little guy struggles so hard with bedtime right now, but we’re just sticking with our routine and hoping it’ll work itself out eventually. Consistency. Consistency is the worst, but also super important, I hear.
Sooo ready for bed now. Some snacks, and Big Bang Theory reruns.
