Hormones...

I need to complain just a little bit now here, so please forgive me.

The joys of pregnancy hormones!
1. I cry at the drop of a dime. I never used to cry, but now...ALWAYS.
2. I get crabby easily, though that could also be due to lack of sleep from all the tossing and turning I do now.
3. My face is actually starting to break out again. This sucks. I thought I was done with getting more then 3 pimples on my face at a time.
4. I have been sniffling my whole pregnancy. There is something about the hormones that makes your mucus production increase, and this has caused me to need Kleenex all the time.

and finally

5. Now I'm limping all the time. The hormones are also supposed to loosen me up so Baby S can make his big appearance. Well I think I've been loosed a bit TOO much. When I lift my legs they actually lock on me and won't allow me to lift me feet up very far from the ground.

I have to get into my car backwards (because I can lift my leg back, but not forward, strange). I haven't even tried the truck yet...that one will be fun. it will probably end up with me crawling in like I used to have to do when Dustin and I first dated and I wore skirts all the time. Stairs I can't even do. I tried yesterday here at work while leaving and the person behind me, who knew I was pregnant, ended up helping to push me up the 3 stairs I needed t get up to get out of the building. I won't be making that mistake again.

I went to the Chiropractor last night after work to see if he could fix me. He did a little but then everything just slipped right back out of place again between then and now. Its not quite as bad as it was yesterday, but the other leg is starting to get as bad as the right. I have another midwife appointment on Tuesday morning next week and a Chiropractor appointment that evening after work.

The Chiropractor will be a weekly visit between now and Baby S's arrival.
