Hi ladies!
Krissy, I'm awake... Samuel, is still sleeping though. IN HIS OWN BED! Finally, we broke him of the boogie man. We got a new computer last night, so I was tinkering with it when we got home. Then I went to bed.
Grace, Samuel was going to be Daniel John, but we changed it for numerous reasons, which I'm glad we did, he definitely doesn't look like a Daniel. Glad to read you're not choosing a fancy pants new age name, like stick or mud.
Nicole, I'm right there with you, with the naughty poopies. I don't know what the deal is, but it seems to be a morning thing for me. EVERY MORNING. I'm kind of use to it, and don't mind it too much now that I know what REAL constipation is like.
Angel, can't wait for you to test!!
Chiropractor update**
So, I went to the chiropractor sweating bullets. I was terrified he was going to hurt me in some way. He had me lay on this table thing that was vertical, then I held on and it moved to a flat position. He had this super fancy pillow that I totally wanted to take with me, your belly fits perfectly in it. Anyway, he said traditional chiropractors bend and crack, twist and pop people, he doesn't do that. So, already I was confused. He told me that my pelvis was one of the most crooked pelvises he had ever seen. So, all he did was push on my lower back. No cracking, no popping... just...pushing... I was really confused. I'm still confused. After about 4 pushes he told me I was done. I was then pissed off. I just paid $30 for someone to push on my pelvis. Dan could have done that! So, he disappears for a minute then comes back and tries to sell me a prenatal vitamin. So, I tell him I can't take vitamins and I take the prenatal gummies. He then tells me those are full of sugar and don't have enough of the vitamins I need. Then lectures me on how I need to up my omega 3 levels to 3000 mg a day. So, I'm pretty confused, but even more so when he tells me I need to come back monday for another adjustment.
When I leave, Dan asked if it helped any. I told him I didn't know because I wasn't in that much pain when we got there. The only way I could really tell is if I laid flat on the ground and I wasn't going to do that in the middle of the street. We discussed how this chiropractor seems to only care about money, Dan said his really seemed to care about fixing him rather than selling him things and demanding he come back. Even more so, this chiropractor was lecturing me on my vitamin intake with out even asking about my history or anything. So, we've decided he's a quack. My OB hasn't said anything about needing to up my vitamin intake nor has he said anything about needing to increase my omega 3 levels, which on my prenatal pills it says there is 65 mg of one omega 3 and 15 mg of another, plus it has DHA. That is nowhere near 3000. I will talk to my doctor next Friday when I see him, see what he has to say.
ANYWAY, we went to my nieces high school to watch her performance last night and we got there really early because no one was there yet. It's a brand new high school, and it has those shiny concrete floors through out the whole thing. Dan was peeing and I was wandering around and what happened? a small I MEAN SMALL puddle of water found me and I slipped, did the splits, and flew in the air and ate shit. So, my vagina is REALLY hurting today. I did not sleep well. My hip feels okay, but it still hurts. Not sure if it's the quack chiropractor that did nothing with his pushing, or if it was the splits, but either way, it sucks and I'm back to square one.
Misty, if you find a chiropractor in your area that is webster certified ask him if he twists and cracks, or if he just pushes with no pressure what so ever... because if there is no cracking, it seems to me to be a waste of money! I'm going to call Dan's chiropractor today and see if he adjusts pregnant women.
I don't want to sound like a pessimistic debbie downer, but I thought for sure there would be more involved than just a pat on the back.
