What a fun week!!

So it all started on Tuesday night I was having horrible pain through my lower back and front, so bad it made me nauseated. It didn't feel like my kidney stone pain and the cramping/tightening in my stomach made me feel really worried so Clay took me to the hospital at 2:30am. They took me up to labor & delivery where I was hooked up to all the monitors and tested to make sure I wasn't in preterm labor. The baby's heartbeat looked good, and all of the other tests seemed to be okay so they let me go home about 7am with lortab for the pain (which I hate because it doesn't make pain go away it just makes me feel weird) and instructions to just take it easy and not do much at all just in case.

I slept and rested as much as I could on Wednesday which wasn't much at all, but I don't think I have slept at all since then. I can not lay, sit, or stand without being in awful pain! I tried sleeping with a million pillows and in my rocking chair and still I can't sleep. I am exhausted and emotional and being exhausted makes me more emotional! Thank you to Clay's dad for giving me a blessing this morning while Clay was at work.

My mom said I should try to go to the chiropractor to help relieve some of the pressure on my hips and back so I called today and they got me right in! I have had a lot of problems with my hips and back my whole life and being pregnant just adds to it. But It felt so good when he adjusted me! I have to sit with ice on my back and hips this weekend as much as possible, and I will go back on Monday and get a deep tissue massage and another adjustment. I am just praying that this will help me sleep at night and not be so miserable!
