24w, 2d

Had another appointment today. I was supposed to see Jim Carey but, thankfully, he was running behind schedule so another dr, The Blue Lady, took me. (She seriously looked blue last time I saw her although this time she was certainly more person colored.) I much prefer The Blue Lady over Jim Carey. So, here are the stats. I have gained 21 lbs total, 4 lbs in the past two weeks. Babies heartrates look good. Both are head down, not that it matters much at this point. There was a manual cervix check (which The Blue Lady was far superior at performing than was Jim Carey). It was closed and at least 3 cm long. I have a growth u/s scheduled for next week and another appointment back at MFM in 2 weeks.

Other than that, I have been in severe pain. My back is done. It isn't even my lower back. Between my shoulders hates me. Can I have my back amputated? I have fantasies about seeing a chiropractor. I still haven't decided for sure if I am going to call. Not that I don't want to feel better. It is just that I know chiropractic care is not a short term fix. So, by the time things could really be helping my back, I could be done with this pregnancy thing. But mainly, that is just one more appointment I am going to have to go to, probably weekly. I'm tired of waiting rooms and dr's and would so much rather just be able to spend time with my kids, even if it is time laying in bed because I am in so much pain. And on that, I am outta here. It hurts way too much to be in any sort of position that allows me to type.
