As most of you know through my facebook update, I've developed a condition called SPD (symphysis pubis dysfunction). It is an extremely painful condition to have. Basically, the pregnancy hormone relaxin has relaxed the ligaments in my pelvic region too much, causing the bones in my pelvis to become unstable. This equals groin, lower back, and leg pain. As you can imagine, this makes walking....and well....any activity where i need to move my legs, not very fun. I had been experiencing worsening groin area pain for quite some time but when it started to make me cry, I decided to stop blowing it off. I'm now in physical therapy twice a week and seeing a chiropractor once a week. I also have a special belt to wear while I'm up and about. It helps to hold my pelvis more stable, hopefully, eventually cutting out some of my pain. So far, these therapies have been wonderful. I'm already seeing some improvement. SPD is normally cured with the delivery of the baby, so it's just one more reason to look forward to meeting our Nugget :)
The baby is moving all the time now. I havent quite figured out it's schedule yet but I'm working on it. You can pretty much count on middle of the night somersaults though. LOL
Halloween is right around the corner. I had planned on dressing up like Katherine Heigel from Knocked Up and attending a few parties but I'm re-thinking that since it's so hard to get around :( It is going to be the first Halloween in a LONG time that my girlfriends and I dont paint the town with awesome, usually revealing, outfits ;) There's always next year....who wants to babysit? haha
I hope you all are enjoying the beautiful colors of fall! Hopefully I'll see you soon....My baby shower is in a couple of weeks!!! I'm sooo excited :) See below: There's a baby in there! hehe
