I adore my baby girl. ADORE. My back, however, does not. She is a BIG girl for 13 months. Don't believe me? See for yourself.
At one year, she was 26 lbs. and in the 25th percentile of A 2 YEAR OLD for height. Yep, big girl. And though I think she is a huge love bug who can brighten anyone's day, my back is starting to really rebel against carrying her around everywhere. (Oh yes, she can walk, she just chooses not to). I have already been in physical therapy due to this and got my hips back in alignment, so I thought....
About two weeks ago, my legs started to really ache. It got worse and worse over the course of a week and I finally ended up in the Dr. office wondering what the hell is wrong with me. I immediately go to the worst case scenario of blood clots and fibromyalgia because that is what I do. After handing over a ton of blood, I walked out hoping I would have answer.
Yesterday I get the results. Everything looks great. Of course it does. I throw a call to my physical therapist and after answering some quick questions, he quickly believes my spine is out of alignment and pushing on some big nerves. I am told to hold her as little as possible, give up heels for a while (he also reminded me that I am 6ft. and don't really need them) and make an appointment. Am I shocked? No. Am I happy it is not something worse? Absolutely. Is this God telling me that my body can no longer handle having children and I should stop? I think so.
The hard part is going to be, how do you not pick up this little face!
