The Hunchback
This morning I awoke to a symphony of pain. My entire right side was crunched up. Lightening was shooting through my brain, down my neck and shoulder, through my arm and my hand was numb. My hip, as per usual, was out of socket, leaving me as vulnerable as a turtle on it’s back in the middle of the highway. It took me more than 20 minutes to manage to roll out of bed.
I dropped the girls off at their respective schools - both late - go mommy! Then dragged my gimpy ass to the chiropractor. Right now he is holding the warm spot in my heart formerly occupied by stool softeners. I’ve been getting contractions ever since the adjustment but am not holding out any hope that it is time. Ive been contracting for almost 2 months now. I’m just waiting for the day my OB shoves her arm all the way up in there and drags him out while he desperately tries to cling to my ribs, liver, bladder and anything else he can grab at on the way out.

Wow. That hip thing has just GOTTA hurt. LOVED your visual on the baby hanging scraping to hang on, HILARIOUS!

um..that last post was supposed to say “hanging and scraping to HOLD on.” Clearly, I need more coffee.

Oh, god. I hurt just reading that post. Hope all your aches and pains are not much longer!

Youch! The things we go through to be a mama. Hope the pain goes away soon.

Oh you are almost to the finish line. Hang in there, you can make it.

Fidge. I can not wait for you to have this guy. Seriously. Every time I check in I expect photos of a lil’ baby face and a mommy in a hospital gown. Soon. Keep your eye on the reward. Cross the finish line. You’re almost there.
