A family in the making.....

After beginning this blog as a way to stay connected with others during my hospital stay and last few weeks of pregnancy, it has now turned into a way to relay our new sense of "normal". Life changed drastically when we welcomed Natalie to our family. Once we got used to that new normal, our lives changed again and again.....and still once again. Through bed rest, hospital stays, and living with my parents, a sense of normal was completely lost. Now that we've welcomed two more children into our family, we are slowly beginning to understand normal once again. It is definitely not what we're used to, but it is wonderful!

Sciatic pain? What sciatic pain?

Since leaving the hospital, I've felt so much better! I think getting out of that horrible bed was the best thing that happened, other than my wonderful physical therapist and chiropractor. After one visit to the physical therapist on Friday, who just happens to be my friend Lisa, I felt a lot better. I went to the chiropractor later that afternoon who did some minor adjustments. As the weekend progressed, the pain disappeared. Today I haven't had any sciatic pain. I have other aches and pains, but those are just normal pains of carrying an extra 25 pounds! I have appointments all week this week. Today was physical therapy, tomorrow is Dr. Bahnmiller to check my cervix (making sure I really am abiding by my bedrest orders), Wednesday is an ultrasound to check the size of the babies, Thursday is the chiropractor, and Friday back to physical therapy. Tomorrow is a very exciting day! Natalie's 3rd birthday!! She's a very excited little girl! More to come later!
