sorry another thing I wanted to share...just doing some reading/research this morning...
Uses for Calendula post partum- especially the ice pads - not sure if this video will work (let me know if it doesn't because it might require my log in)
Anyway these are supposed to really help after birth with being swollen or torn etc...not a fun thought I know, but I'm going to make some ahead of time so I have them ready just in case I need them. They are supposed to be fantastic.
http://healthybirthchoices.com/hwdvideos/calendula/calendula.html
if the link doesn't work here is the gist of what you need to know:
Uses for Calendula:
Calendula Tincture can be used for various things in the postpartum period:
Full strength on baby's umbilical stump to speed up healing and drying of cord (do this during every second diaper change in the first week or more of baby's life)
For mothers: add a dropperful to water in your peribottle and after urinating or having a bowel movement, squirt your bottom to promote healing of tissues
Ice Packs Recipe:
Pup 1/4 cup of water in a spray bottle
Add Calendula tincture to water ((2-3 droppers full)
Line cookie sheet with wax paper
Place 6-10 large/extra long sanitary pads on cookie sheet
Apply calendula/water mixture with spray bottlle: DO NOT SOAK...apply just enough that pads will freeze
Place cookie sheet in freezer
When pads are frozen, stack in a plastic bag
Look forward to using ice packs to reduce swelling and promote healing post birth
Add to bath
Full strength on nipple abraisions or blisters0 -
I meant to share the latest picture of Baby Girl take last Wednesday. I think she's practicing her pageant face.

Welcome Veronica! Your introduction made me laugh....the part about the boring guy and the drinking.
Rayna, sorry about your hands and ribs. You can't catch a break! And your goals look awesome!
My working out is pretty much nonexistent anymore. I took Sydney for a 20 minute walk last night. She has gotten so slow I feel like I have to almost pull her but she still loves it so we will keep poking along. If we are walking 3.0mph, we are doing good. I was told to rest when my fluids were low and didn't really find out if I can incorporate anything back into my regimine now they they are normal, so I think I may do a little just b/c I feel like a bump on a log. Tonight I may do some prenatal yoga. My video is really easy. I also need to scrub the floor as Sydney left a little puddle overnight.
There were storms so maybe she got scared. Who knows with that dog.
The day is almost over! I am counting down the days to maternity leave. I really don't want to take off early b/c I want as much time at home with Baby, but I'm afraid by next week I'm just going to be bored and restless. Ugh.
-Ashley0 -
And good to hear from you Misti! But sorry no baby yet. Sucks you're feeling crappy. I had the funk the first part of the year. I think it's pretty much gone but I had it for like 2 weeks. My MIL, who gave birth 11 times, allegedly had a cold everytime she went to the hospital.0
-
Ugh, can't imagine giving birth with a cold. My head feels like it's about ready to explode.....can't imaging giving birth 11 times either, and with a cold, that poor lady. Hopefully it passes soon!!! Thanks!
Forgot to mention today is my due date if we were going by my last missed period...I guess that must mean anytime between now and Feb. 12th. we are probably safe. 0 -
Good morning ladies!
Misti...happy due date! Hope that baby comes soon!! AND you feel better! And good job being so productive! It's that nesting instinct!!
Ashley...good job with the walking...I wish it was nicer outside so I could walk...it's so stinkin' cold right now!
Veronica...welcome!! We're happy to have you join us!!
Rayna...Nice goals! Hope that baby settles in a more comfy spot for you!
Everyone else...Hello!
AFM: I'm 28 weeks today!! Getting closer! Got in a good yoga workout last night. Probably won't get in any workout tonight since I have a bunch of errands to run after work and then am meeting my sister for dinner and a movie. But I tried to plan healthy foods for the rest of the day to make up for it.
My stroller didn't come yet, but I looked online and it looks like today is actually the day we should get it, so I'm hoping I get to check it out this evening!! SO exciting!
Well...I hope you are all feeling well today!!0 -
Morning Mamas! I'm 39 weeks today. My due date is next Wednesday. Craziness.
No workout for me last night. I cleaned a little, helped Eric with hooking up speakers, read a little, made dinner and spent the rest of the night on the couch. Slept great again and seem to maybe be having more frequent BH contractions, but really only at night. Perhaps it is just wishful thinking. I also downloaded 2 apps to time contractions. My dr. appointment is at 3 today so I'll update tomorrow. I plan on discussing what the plan is in the event I go late. I know when I asked about the practice's policy on induction, one dr. told me pretty much they wouldn't induce unless needed but probably not let me go past 42 weeks. So at the most in 3 weeks we will have a baby. Good times.
Misti - Exciting that you could go anytime now! Race is on....
I know what you mean....giving birth 11 times! My MIL is a super woman. She is 4'10" and 79 years old and still pretty tough. 
Kristin - Good job on the yoga. I had thought about it, but the basement is freezing (we have heat run but have yet to hook it up) so I opted for no yoga last night.
Hopefully the rest of the week goes by fast. May be my last full week of work!

Good morning ladies!!!
Rayna – thank you so much…honestly what you’re doing is an inspiration! I had a long talk with my husband last night and came down to the conclusion that I really need to find something that I love. End of the day there will always be those tough personalities to deal with (I have many here) but if I am doing something that I am super passionate about…that would make a world of difference! So here is to finding that passion! I give you a lot of credit for working so hard towards your goals…that is awesome!!!
Veronica – welcome to the group!!
Misti – thank you for the support too…6.5 years at a job you love…I totally envy you girl!!! Some day I keep saying…some day!! And I am totally keeping my fingers crossed for you that you go soon!! Sounds like you were super productive and nesting over the weekend so hopefully its only a matter of time! Feel better!!!!
Ashley – my heart really does break for you with your puppy…I am praying that Syd gets better soon – maybe the new baby will bring on a whole new side!!!! Happy 39 weeks!!!
Kristin – nice work on the yoga! What movie are you going to see!
AFM: 35 weeks today!!! It really is amazing to think that in just a month or so I will be a new mom...wrapping my head around that is just crazy! Feeling really good...last night had a looooong career talk with the hubs and realized many things. I just need to focus on what makes me happy and what I have a passion for. Life is way too short to be miserable so I am going to take the time during my maternity leave and really focus on myself...in many ways. How I can be a good mother, wife, professional, etc.
We put up some of the decals in Parkers room last night...one really cute one above his bed (pictures coming soon...I promise!!) and I got all of his clothes ready to be washed...going to take that on tonight.
Hope everyone has a great day!!!0 -
wow, active board!! Morning ladies!!
Doesnt look like working out is in my future. So much going on in the evenings it's a miracle I make it to bed by 11pm!!
Rayna- thought about you this morning. Both my hands were asleep and I had to have hubby rub them until I could feel sensation back in them. I think I slept on them?? But I literally could feel nothing- how annoying. I felt bad that you have to go through this on a daily basis and see how annoying it can become!!
jchecca- Passion....We have to find our passion and sometimes just make the best with what we got while we got it But doesn't mean that the opportunity is ever gone!
Ashely- I love the pic!! Time is creepin on all of us!! Woo Hoo!! We'll all be mvoing boards very soon!
Misti- I'm anxiously awaiting to hear that the baby is hear!! Hope you feel better. try the netti pot...it worked for me but it was extremely gross :laugh:
kistinbee- good job on the working out!! Your right behind us and it's moving fast!
AFM just trying to keep up with my diet. It's been a bit more challenging than anticipated. Hope you ladies have a great day!0 -
I'm starting to stress about going back to work after Abbie is born. Since I only work 20 hours a week I don't qualify for any paid maternity leave so it'll all be unpaid. Also, I don't meet the minimum requirements to be covered by the FMLA either.
You have to work a minimum of 1250 hours and be employed by your company for at least a year. I'll be employed here for a year by then, but not have the 1250 hours. Boo! I don't think my boss would fill my position while I'm gone though. Honestly, my job is VERY low stress and super easy. I only work 4 hours a day and most of that is spent on the internet. lol I just don't have enough to do. I'm the office manager so I just make sure everything is running smoothly and we have enough supplies, etc. I am going to talk to him about maybe only coming in 1-2 hours a day and doing the rest from home. I don't know if he'll let me or not, but it's worth a shot. I only work 2 miles from my house.
I did find out today that my friend, who is a day care provider, will have an opening around the time I will need one. She is a provider through the military so it's a lot cheaper. Since I'd need less than 25 hours per week it'd be less than full time care and would cost $4/hour. I'd be spending $320/month on child care IF I have to come in for the full 4 hours per day. I suppose that's not too bad. I don't really know anything about child care costs. What I DO know is that I don't want to leave her even for a few hours a day. haha! Although, a few hours may be a nice break, I don't know. One thing that scares me about leaving her at my friend's house is that she has a 2 1/2 year old son that is ornery!! She has a 6 month old daughter and he is very rough with her if he isn't carefully watched. Since I make my own hours (as long as I work 20 hours per week) I can possibly time it where I go into work 2 hours before Eric gets off work and he can just pick her up. That'd be less time for her to be exposed to the possible roughness and less money spent. Gosh, this is all so stressful!!!
Sorry to rant about that. lol
I did about an hour walk on the treadmill yesterday and had what I think were some BH contractions while walking. I am probably going to do some yoga tonight as my back has been hurting for days now.
I have my maternity photoshoot next Saturday morning and I have no idea what to wear. lol Gotta get on that!0 -
So glad my baby seems ok!!! BUT not me.
I slipped and fell on the stairs while carrying a load of laundry. Hurt my back (especially lower), elbow, leg and other area... Luckily it was on my back, baby seems doing fine but I'm in a lot of pain. I'm waiting for doctor's office to call back to see if I can get checked out. I've already talked to my OB last night, and as long as baby is active like usual and I'm not blooding, she's ok.
Probably won't be able to exercises for awhile... (glad at least I did my workout yesterday before the accident.

Just talked to HR again and I DO qualify for paid maternity leave. Six weeks if I have vaginal delivery and 8 weeks if I have a cesarean. Two weeks is covered by sick leave and the remaining 4-6 weeks is covered by short term disability. SUH-WEET!! That takes some stress off my shoulders. Now I just have to deal with the fact I don't WANT to come back after 6 weeks. Haha!0
-
Hattie - Be careful! I fell down about 4-5 of my steps about a month or so ago and I was shaken up for about an hour after. I knew the baby was fine because she was moving and everything, but it was still very scary. I landed and fell on my butt and had a terrible bruise that is actually still a little tender to the touch. I was carrying too much, in sock feet, down our steep wooden slippery steps. Since then, we carpeted the stairs and I am banned from carrying laundary, anything large or anything that takes 2 hands. I am honestly a little worried about the steps with the baby and have thought about keeping the baby Bjorn at the top/bottom so I can be hands free up and down the steps. (Nursery and our room is upsatairs). Our stairs have 9" risers with 9" treads (standard is 6" riser with 12" tread) so they are very steep. Anyways, I'm glad you're getting checked and I know it's hard, but you really do need to be careful with steps. I hope you heal quickly!
Kristy - Just to give you an idea, we will be paying $170/week for full time childcare. We can drop off as early as 7 I think and pick up as late as 6. Daycare is literally next door to my husband's office so she will be there from about 8-5ish. And guess who gets out of drop off and pick up? Sounds like you have some flexibility with your job; that's nice.
Jessica - I'm glad you and your husband had a nice talk about work. I agree you should be passionate about what you're doing. I like my job pretty well. I do go through periods when I am burnt out or bored and don't love it. But like my Dad always says, "they don't call it work for nothing." Still, I think there should be a happy medium where you at least enjoy the overall aspect of it. And liking your co-workers is very important. So good luck with everything!
OK, off to lunch in the 29 degree weather. Burrrr!0 -
just wanted to do a quick comment on daycare. Our daycare is right next door to our house and is open from 630-630. We're paying $204 a week no including diapers/formula sooooo....From the research that we did our area averages approx $250 a wk.0

Hi 3rd Tri mommies!
Kristin-Yay on 28 weeks, and great working out!
Kristy-What a piece of mind knowing you have some paid time off, and I agree with you I wish i didn't have to come back to work either. I was reading on babycenter the SAHM articles and they had really good points about making your decision to stay or work after baby.
Hattie-Sorry to hear you fell & don't feel good. Hope you're ok.
Misti- I agree with Denise- I used the netti pot and breathe right strips that really helped. My bestie had her lil girl with a cold too and she was miserable, so hope you get better before your LO arrives.
Veronica-Welcome to the 3rd tri!
Ashley- Whoo hoo anytime for you now. Glad to hear you are feeling good. Are you still working?
Denise-Keep up the good work on your diet, it's all for a good reason and it's getting nearer for these babies to come. YAY!!! :happy:
AFM:
I am excited for this weeend to come, although it'll be raining in Cali & here in Vegas. :grumble:
I am going to go find a dress although, with the rainy weather maybe i will end up wearing pants.
One thing that worries me is: that I live on one end & my hospital is near my home, and work is on the other end. I guess i will see where i am at as we get closer.
~Brenda~ 34 wks 1dy0 -
So I guess $4/hour is a pretty average price then. It'll help that I only need it for 20 hours or less per week. I think with the military daycare it's cheaper for full-time, but I'm not sure how much since I don't need that, but $4/hour seems fair. It's crazy how expensive it is when you work full-time. Sheesh!!0

Thanks for the warm welcome, ladies! It's great to be able to talk to other ladies who are pregnant with the same interests. I am a member of a few other websites dedicated to women who are pregnant, trying to conceive, or have children, and so far, I like the layout of THIS website better.. And I like the fact that we are all here for the same reasons!
@atomdraco- OUCH! Hope you're feeling better soon! Take care of yourself and baby!0 -
Whoever asked (I already can't remember) I'm going to see War Horse tonight! Pretty excited!
Hope you ladies all have a wonderful evening! I'll check back in the morning!0 -
hey all just a quick check in...my massasge was AMAZING - I had this wonderful woman who taught me a whole bunch of wonderful things to help with my aches and pains! Even a way to sleep on my back!! and things to show my husband to help me during labour etc. She was so wonderful! I really really needed that massage and those tips!
THEN...when I got home I took my dog Sophie out to pee and I was carrying her back up the steps on my deck into the house and I totally slipped and fell!! I'm ok, I fell on my knees and my one hand so I protected both the baby & my dog....I really scared myself obviously and my knees and hand kinda hurt but that's all...definitely have to be more careful...so thankful because it could have been a lot worse!
Tonight I'm heading out for dinner with 3 other preggos! Including my sister! So excited, should be fun

Denise...How was the breastfeeding class?
Kristin--28 weeks, 2 days
Kristin- the class was a riot. there were only 5 couples and the guys all looked equally scared. Very interactive, very informational, and put LOTS AND LOTS of my fears at ease.
Also learned NOT to listen to friends/family- although they want to help and give good advise it's not always correct or the best.
Have a great one!0 -
Morning all
Ashley - I had a similar conversation with my husband - I think it's really good to talk about these things and am also so thankful that I have such a wonderful partner that I can talk to him about anything can't believe your LO will be here SO SOON!
Denise - so glad your Dr appt went so well and that's awesome that you learned so much and had so much fun at your breastfeeding class!
AFM - I slept way better last night...well after I could fall asleep lol...I didn't get to sleep until after midnight because I just couldn't turn my brain off...I'm a major planner and just can't help it...it's in my nature! lol so I had check lists going through my head last night and couldn't stop thinking about all the things I need to get done before the baby comes. It's ok though I sort of enjoy thinking about this stuff and making lists in my head I'm a freak! haha. I propped myself up with the large foam wedge because I'm just finding that it's too uncomfortable lying completely flat. So I actually feel rested and somewhat human this morning yay!
I have my hair appointment at 1:00 today and I'm SO excited - my mom is the best! She just texted me on Tuesday saying "hey I want to treat you to a cut/color before Mason comes call my girl and make an appointment" and I was like OK!!! :bigsmile: You don't have to tell me twice! lol yep so today will be a good day!
Last night went to look at some vehicles. We put a $100 deposit down to hold a 2008 Ford Escape on hold until Saturday because we found a 2010 Chev Equinox in St. Albert for a really good deal so we want to see if it's still there - if so we're going tonight to test drive it and if it's all good we're going to make a deal! I can't wait to have this vehicle situation sorted out!
Today I'm going to finalize my hospital bag list and see what I can get together that I already have and find out what I still have to get
My hips are feeling better today not as sore and not getting that annoying sharp pinch feeling everytime I put weight on my right side so that's always nice!
Anyway - I hope you all have a lovely Friday!:flowerforyou:

jessica-Have fun at your babyshower tomorrow.
Rayna-Glad to hear you're feeling better. Yay for your new ride!
Denise- That's cool your classes are free, tae advantage. We have to pay between $45-$100 depending on the class, I decided to skip them.
Ashley-You are being very patient, that is really good. You're right the baby will come when she's ready.
Misti-How's that cold?
Kristin-I haven't been able to walk for a while, each night something comes up and it gets late so soon, that I am pooped by 9pm.
I am packing tonight to leave to Cali tomorrow morning, so no workout again. I am really excited to go to Cali.

No more falling! I'm glad you are ok (and the baby & dog)!0 -
Having hard time keeping up with the posts. Still in lots of pain from my fall. Doctor only ordered minimal treatment: ice, OTC pain med and rest. I'm not a big fan of pain med for situation like this, cause I feel like if I don't feel the pain, I might over worked my body and it's not getting rest properly. It won't help healing. If no improvement over the remaining of the week, I need to be reevaluated.
With all that, my plan for packing hospital bag is on hold right now. I cannot walk or stand more than 5 min, which absolutely killing my back. It seems like I got a little less pain sitting on a chair today, so hopefully it's going to the right direction. I'll see if I can manage to pack bag this evening. And still got laundry to fold, dishes to clean...
At least the baby is super active, kicking up a storm a lot. She is getting stronger now.

happy friday all!!
brenda - have a blast in CA!!! my hubby just said to me the other day 'hey...lets move to CALI'...lol...love the thought but i said right back to him 'lets have a baby first and then that conversation'
rayna - enjoy that hair appointment!!! i had one last night and loved it. it was funny thinking 'this will probably be my last one before parker comes!'
denise - glad to hear the dr. apt went well!!! the thought of your hubs holding the itty bitty baby is so funny! my brother was on the offensive line and is a big kid...so thats going to be him holding his nephew!!!
AFM: i am so happy that today is friday! hubs and i are going out to dinner tonight which i am looking forward (trying to soak up these nights to ourselves before LO comes!). then tomorrow is baby shower day! keeping my fingers crossed for no bad weather! i guess its supposed to start at like 3/4 in the morning and go till early afternoon...3-6 inches of 'light snow' ... so hopefully its not bad! and other than that i am really looking forward to watching my PATS play this weekend!!!!
goal for next week is to evaluate what else we need for parkers arrival and to get that. kory keeps saying that i am going to go early...he just 'feels' it. so we'll see! i just want to be as prepared as we can be come the end of next week!
hope everyone has a great day and a lovely weekend!!!0 -
Ashley - I know exactly how you feel about becoming a mother so soon. The thought is overwhelming and it won't really sink in until she is born. I am exactly that way, no lovey, dovey mushy stuff for me, but seriously it is AMAIZING how much love you have for your own child. Holding my son for the first time was an undescribable feeling. And now 7 1/2 years later, I love him more and more EVERY day!!! The fact of having another to love just as much is a little impossible for me to believe right now, but I know I will! Enjoy your quiet calm weekend!!!
Rayna - Good luck with the car!! Hope it's everything you want and more!
Jessica - Hope you have a great baby shower tomorrrow!!!!
Denise - congrats on your good news from your doc. Keep up the good work!!!
Brenda - Ahh, the cold. Actually it's getting better, now I just need more than 2 hours of sleep and I'll be good. My son caught the cold now too, so needless to say the last two nights have been even more sleepless, but hopefully he will get rid of it quick and then baby can come.
Kristin - Thanks for the BC info. I plan on talking to her about it soon. Just seems like I get pregnant VERY easy and until hubby gets things taken care of, I don't want to suprises. LOL And like to plan ahead.
AFM: Nothing really planned for the weekend! Hubby has to take a 1st aid saftey class all day tomorrow, and me and Isaac are planning on staying home to get all the way better and hopefully get some rest. B-day party to go to on Sunday if he's feeling better. Other than that, nothing planned which is weird but not unusual lately. Hoping to get in some excercise at some point and drink TONS of water. Next appt. is Monday.....hoping for some good news! Everyone keeps saying be patient, but I can't anymore! Between the false alarm a couple weeks ago, then the flu, then sinus cold I am just ready to have her now!!! The roads are clearing up but are still icy. Hoping the snow holds off at least til' after my appt. on Monday. I really hate driving in it! Baby is pushing down as I type, has been getting lower and lower everyday and I have tons of pressure, somethings gotta happen soon, (I hope).
Hope you all have a great weekend!!! Be careful and hopefully no more falls.
Hattie - Hopefully you start feeling better, take it easy and rest. There's not much available for pain relief in the 3rd tri. ecspecially. Good Luck.0 -
Morning Mamas! I'm still here! No baby over the weekend. I've been having more BH contractions so maybe that's a good sign? I also got my appointment moved up so I get to go today instead of Friday. Eric gets to go too and we're meeting with our primary dr. so I reckon we'll disccuss a plan if she decides to hang out for a while. I'm having more pressure in my lower abdomen and after I've been sitting a while, getting up and moving around is a little harder and uncomfortable. I'm still not "miserable" though.
This weekend I was pretty much lazy and ate pretty poorly (think cupcakes, big breakfast, hardly any veggies, pomme frites). Since I get weighed at the dr, I weighed myself this morning and was up 2 pounds. I think it is probably water weight, etc and I'm not sweating it too much. I did manage to get a few things done over the weekend - laundry, calibrated the speakers, did a little organization, and had dinner with friends Friday and brunch with some others Sunday. Of course I had plenty of couch time too.
Misti - Thanks for the thoughts on the not really sinking in about the baby. I'm sure I'll absolutely fall in love with her once she gets here; it's just so much to grasp.
Jessica - hope you and your husband had a nice dinner. Eric and I did a nice dinner out a couple weeks ago and it was just what I needed. Several weeks ago I began to freak out about how soon everything would change and it won't just be he and I anymore like it has been for 10ish years.
Kristin - Thanks for the advice on the getting sleep at the hopspital. I'll take all I can get.
Hattie - I hope you're feeling better. I saw you status that you were in pretty bad pain. Take it easy! The laudnry and cleaning will get done eventually. You need to rest and heal. I hope you are recovering.
Brenda - Hope you're having fun in Cali!
Rayna - I hope your back and hips are feeling better too!
Other ladies - Hope your weekends were good, restful, productive, whatever and that you're all feeling good! Well I guess I better get to work. I was secretly hoping Friday woudl be my last day, but alas. I could have another full week, maybe 2! I even cleaned off my desk and everything. At least I have a clean desk to work off of now. I'll check in later and update after my appointment.

Good morning ladies!
Have any of you started to feel any nausea this trimester? The past week I've had random moments of slight nausea in the evenings. I think it's usually when I'm just overly tired, but I woke up a few times last night feeling queasy and still do this morning. It COULD be the donuts I ate yesterday (lol), but I'm just not sure. I'm not queasy enough to throw up or anything, but just feel kinda yucky.

Spying on you ladies - you are looking too cute and doing great... Except I agree no more falls! Gripping shoes and handrails, and don try to be superwoman! I just sewed up a big cut on a preggo's head the other day for a fall, and many of those that hit their tummies end up with intensive baby monitoring and overnight admissions, so it's a big deal.0
-
Good morning beautiful mommas!
Kristy...Hmmm...not much nausea, but you're further along than I am. I do remember being that way when I was pregnant with Kadence though, I think it's just because your tummy is so cramped in there! Hang in there...we have to think, all these symptoms are just temporary and will disappear after baby arrives!
Ashley...Ah! I was secretly hoping you'd have the baby this weekend!! Oh well...it will be soon! Hope you can continue to be somewhat comfortable until LO decides to arrive!!
Misti...I agree with you...the amount of love you have for your baby is incredible, and I am also not a mooshy, lovey, dovey person! It's amazing!! Excited to hear what you find out at your appointment today!
Jessica...how was your shower??
Hattie...Like everyone else said, I hope you feel better! Rest and mend is all you can do! And I'm glad your baby is being active for you...always reassuring!
Brenda...have fun in Cali!!! I'm a little jealous!
Rayna...So, how did the vehicle stuff go? Did you get it all finalized? I hope you had fun at your hair appointment also! I haven't had one of those for quite a while!!
Everyone else...hello!!
AFM: I had a good weekend. My husband had the house all cleaned and laundry all done by the time I got home on Friday...so all I had to do was fold (he has tried...and it's just better he leaves the folding to me!) Then Saturday I got in a good workout, and then we spent the entire rest of the day cleaning out our closet!! CRAZY! We had four boxes and 6 garbage bags FULL of clothes, shoes, purses, and stuff to take to goodwill!! SO nice to get it all cleaned out!! Now, we just need to start getting things put up into the attic so we can finish the play area in our basement for Kadence! That's our last project before this baby comes!! Sunday then was a lazy day...church, groceries, then movies with Kadence! So needed after such a busy day on Saturday!
Oh! So I've been having HORRIBLE Sciatic pain lately!! Especially in the evenings and after I workout! I never had this with Kadence and so don't know what you can do to help it? And advice would be great!!
Goals this week:
