This month has been one of the most fun while in quarantine. Having Christmas to look forward to and all the fun baking, shopping, wrapping, Christmas lights, etc. We made a list of fun things to do during Christmas and it's been fun to do something off of it if we get bored. I've been feeling pretty good up until this week. All of the standing while cooking, and sitting on the floor wrapping presents has killed my back. Hopefully that will go away in the next few days.
Thanksgiving was wonderful, but I also gained 4 pounds in one day. So the weight is packing on now. It tends to be exponential, so I'm thinking I'll definitely end up gaining more than when pregnant with Olivia. Currently up 15 pounds. I'm hoping that all the hip and back pain with Sloan (and inability to walk the last month) was due to the weight gain. Even though I tried everything with Sloan to eat hardly anything and it didn't work, I'm hoping if the weight gain is a little less, I'll feel better at the end. My OB says the hip pain is unrelated and usually worse with each pregnancy and is prescribing me a walker. So I think that'll be super cool and not embarrassing at all. Haha! At least I am not in the office - that is helping a ton!
My chiropractor said he would keep me out of a walker. He isn't big on promises when he can't deliver, and was very confident in this one. So we will see how big of a miracle worker he is.
