Less than a month left!! Baby boy is growing and doing great. Mamma has had a rough couple of weeks, but hanging in there... A couple weeks ago, I had to have by toenail on my big left toe removed due to a lingering infection that just wouldn't go away :( Not so fun. Went to my primary doc first, and she sent me to a specialist... who pretty much told me immediately that it would need to be removed. So he put 5 numbing shots in it (which were awful) and then started working on it to take it off... and then it got super painful when he got near the infection, so he put in 2 more shots, then took it right off. I was instructed to soak it in epsom salt then pour hydrogen peroxide on it and cover with band-aid and Neosporin... well, I definitely was not able to handle the soaks or peroxide for a couple days. Ouch. It is better now, and my check-up went great and the infection is gone.... phew. So, this past Wednesday I woke up and my back was not in good shape. I think I may have slept on it wrong... I had a doc appt that day and he said to take Tylenol and use a heating pad. Well, that didn't help much and my back was worse on Thursday. I could BARELY WALK. Each step was excruciating. When I was sitting or laying down still, I was fine. I think I pinched my sciatic nerve. Yesterday was really bad too... and I had to walk into Munson for my Materinity Stay Appointment and barely made it. Went to my great friend Stacey's house last night (she's a PT) and she worked on it for me and did some adjusting. She put tape on it too to try to straighten things out. Still gimping around quite a bit today.... but the pain isn't shooting down my leg like it was before. Trying to rest and stay off my feet as much as possible. I still have 4 weeks left and have quite a bit of training to do with my replacement, so I have to get better!!
Claire is doing so great. Talking more and more, and doing a little bit of signing too :) She knows "more" and does it when she's eating. She helped her Daddy mow the lawn this morning and is out shopping with him right now so I can rest. She is still taking 2 1.5-2 hour naps a day and sleeping 10-12 hours at night. Can't complain one bit! She just starting kissing my belly... it's the cutest thing. Love that little girl so much. So excited to add a baby brother to the family!
