Yesterday I dropped Lucas off at Jeremy's parents house. I already miss him. It doesn't help that there's still Lucas stuff all over the house. I can't even go to the bathroom without missing him--his potty seat makes me sad! I know this is rediculous, but I got used to having him around, even if I only had him for a week. I guess it doesn't help when your baby fever is to the millionth exponent.
He woke up at 6am on Sunday, bright eyed and cheery as always. He greets me in the hall and exclaims "I did it" (he climbs out of bed, shuts off the monitor light, and opens the door). We had some breakfast and played for awhile. He only slept less than an hour so he was kind of tired on the way home, but fought sleep. He was excited to see the kitties when he got there and as soon as he entered the house he called for Mamaw. But he clung to me the whole time. He stopped to give JJ a hug and then had to come right back to me. I didn't want to have to put him down and have him cry and me say good-bye (hmm, harder for me?) so I put him to bed. He was tired but not sleeping, just staring at me the whole time as I closed the door. It was so hard, I can't even imagine what Jaime went through when she left and what she's going through now...or Jeremy for that matter. I give you guys so much credit, you really have to be a special kind of strong.
I just got back from my first chiropractor appointment. I've never been, always too scared for some reason. But I keep hearing that it will help with headaches and plus my neck and upper back are constantly hurting, and so I thought I'd give it a try. Wanda recommended Dr. Taulman and he is very nice--and funny. It was just a consultation today. I was amazed at how he could find all my painful spots just by touching. I also got a scan done and my neck and upper back are off the charts for stress points. I have some other stressed area through my mid and lower back, but the levels were about average. I'm going back tomorrow for an adjustment. That's the part that scares me. I always think, what if I tense up right when he's adjusting my neck and it results in paralysis. I know, it's crazy, but that's my thought. After going today, I think it will be fine. I can't wait to start feeling better and live without pain! They had this chart on the wall that displayed points of pain and what it affects. The location of my pain can contribute to headaches, stomach pains, exhaustion, memory loss (that's why I can't remember anything!), and some things I can't think of right now. As I was reading all I could think is yep, I have that and that and that. Well, if there is a connection to all these things, then hopefully regular adjustments will help me feel better all around.
