I never realize how much my back sways when I'm pregnant until I see pictures. Did yours or does yours do this when your pregnant?This week I have started having pain in my sacrum area. I feel like I need to stretch it out, or pull it forward, or pop it. I don't know...it just hurts. Contemplating a trip to the chiro, but I've never been before and I'm a little nervous.
I'm pretty sure I fractured my tailbone when I fell down the stairs at our house when Trin was about 15 months?! The pain actually was numbing, and it took me a good 15 min to stand up after I fell. I moaned and groaned crawling on the floor. (the kids do a great rendition of my pain if you ever want to see) After I finally did stand up I almost passed out. Everything went black and I had to sit down. I told the kids if I became unresponsive to call 911. After a bit I could see again, but it was so scary and painful. I never went to the doctor. Everyone said that there's nothing they could do. For weeks I felt nauseous because of the pain.
Now...I'm a little scared, and can't help to think that maybe things in that area aren't aligned correctly and that it might make delivery a little harder, or painful!
The girls and I went to a sibling class yesterday at the hospital where I'll deliver. They had a lot of fun. They showed them with baby dolls the correct way to hold a baby, and let them practice putting on diapers and swaddling. Anna was very proud when the instructor complimented her swaddling skills! We took a tour around the hospital, and they showed all the kids the rooms where mommy has the baby, and the special bed they have for babies at the hospital. It was adorable seeing a class full of 2-8 year olds walking down the halls carrying their baby dolls. Trin talked about the class the rest of the day, and kept saying "you know...I'm going to be a big sister" It was adorable.
One more thing...Mr. Mason is a movin' and a groovin' these days!! He is still super mellow, but it's nice to feel some kicks and rolling around. I felt some really low hiccups the other day, so I hope that he is experimenting with positions, and wants to be head down. :)

Ouch! I did brake my tailbone with Alex. For me. I didn't have any problems with subsequent deliveries. I hope it goes smoothly for you!
I can just see all of those little kids going through the hospital with their baby dolls. So cute! And way to go Anna!! It's not like either of those girls have practice with baby dolls. :) I'm so excited that you are feeling Mason more. I can't wait to meet him!!
You look amazing! Sorry you are hurting.....you should look into a chiro. I hear good things :)
You look absolutely beautiful Misty!! I love that part about proud Anna and her swaddling skills. :) What a sweet big sister!
