Catch up time

{please excuse the bad cell phone photos-when I don't feel well, it's easier to grab}

Right after the potty training attempt (read previous post), Arden and I both got nasty colds. She had a fever for a day and was so pitiful. We laid on the couch all day and she barely moved a muscle.

She didn't want to eat anything (not even cheese!).
At the hospital (where Mimi met us to watch Arden while I went to my Dr appt) on Valentine's Day- a couple of days into her cold. She wore her glasses the whole time.


Since then, I have been in so much pain that I can't do much, though I do try. It is extremely painful to get in/out of the car, in/out of bed, change clothes, stairs. I finally decided to give the chiropractor a try. When I was pregnant with Arden, I heard that it can help with SPD, but Derek was pretty much against it so I just did physical therapy. That didn't get me very far, so I decided I didn't want to waste my time with PT this time.

I had my first visit with the chiropractor last week. I told her my problems, but did not tell her that the pain was only on the right. Sure enough as she was working on me, she said that my right pelvic bone was way out. she put it back in place and when I got up, I felt like a million bucks. I should add that that particular morning was the worst I had ever felt. I felt good for two days minus a dull pain getting in/out of the car/bed. The bone moved back out of position (we knew it would happen, just didn't know how long it would take).
I went back yesterday and she explained to me how my pelvic bones are actually positioned. The left side is where it should be and the right side is down low. It totally drops out of position. NOW can you imagine the pain? It's totally out of place. That explains why Arden and this baby were/are both always on the left side. There is nowhere to go on the right. It also explains all the swelling and veins all over my right leg. There isn't proper circulation with the bone out of place.
Unfortunately my second adjustment did not last as long as the first. Oh well.

Arden is so funny with some of the things she says. We have this conversation almost daily-
A: Chee mommy?
k:ok
A:(runs to the fridge) I get it for you, mommy. (opens the silverware drawer) Here! I cut it for you.
K: Thank you, Arden (I cut her a piece of cheese and hand it to her)
A: Good girl, mommy!!! Tain to, mommy!

She tells daddy he's a good girl all the time and my dad stopped by the other day, and as he was going to his car, she said Good girl, boppy! She trips me out.

She enjoys pointing out 'hairplanes'

Arden says 'jacket' like hashet (think hatchet with a "sh" instead of "t" =) ). She is very into jackets and pointing out whose is whose. A few weeks ago we were at my grandmothers house, and she left, and Arden spotted her jacket on a chair and was so concerned that she didn't take her jacket with her. She kept saying "oh no! Ga-ey's (Gabby) Hashet!" She said it the rest of the time we were there.

She's also in love with glasses. She loves wearing hers (she sometimes insists on sleeping with them on) She pronounces them "hasses" or "asses." Gotta love when you hear that in public.
