What I've been up to...


Had a great day yesterday! I found out my insurance would cover chiropractic and was able to get a MUCH needed adjustment! My pelvis is beyond repair until the baby is born, since it is mainly the loose joints caused by pregnancy hormones which is making me feel so uncomfortable and creaky, however that has been compounded by the fact that my pelvis and hips have also been severely misaligned. Dr. Steve (the chiro) said my right hip was rotated upwards and misaligned by a couple of inches! OUCH! Anyway, I'm feeling a little better since my adjustment but I'll need to go back for more.

I also saw my midwives for our appointment last night, and everything is great, baby sounds good and is in a good position, blood pressure is good, swelling is very minimal, nothing at all concerning. I did my GBS test (Group B Strep...no big deal but since it's a noninvasive test and is purely informational, I decided to do it) and then Lennon asked if we'd like to do a belly drawing for fun. Basically, they palpate the belly to see what position the baby is in and
then they do a cute little drawing on your belly so you can get a visual of it. It's just meant to be fun, which it was! So here is a little visual of what Baby Hughesy might be up to right now:





Pretty adorable huh? Can't wait to meet him/her!
