Yayayay! My favorite time of year is finally here: cool weather, "winter" clothes, holidays, pretty colors, and of course- pumpkin!! I do love me some good pumpkin.. anything! Yum :)
Thanksgiving is by far my favorite holiday (good food, lazy day with the fam, and the ever contemplating of Black Friday shopping.. which is usually a no for me!) I really just can't believe we're already 9 days into November! Seriously?! Wow..
Which means Christmas is right around the corner. I think I have about 2 stocking stuffers for Aubrey. I should probably get a move on things.. yikes! And, if Christmas is coming, that means Aubrey's birthday is too!! Have absolutely nothing ready for that.. except a bunch of ideas that I need to make come to life. Pretty sure the next month is going to FLY by. Yep. I'm about to have a 2 year old.
Sigh.
(I secretly am excited about her turning 2. She's so fun.) :)
These pics were taken the other day. She just looked so darn comfy and was in such a sweet mood. She loves her baby. Baby goes everywhere with us. Every so often I look at Aubrey and it hits me she's changing again. Just all of a sudden she just looks different. Dare I say.. older..?? laughing at who-knows-what?? She was so slap-happy! Tickling me.. so daintily. :) If anyone noticed, yes, that is an over-sized Old Navy 4th of July shirt. I knew it would be a great comfy shirt for her. And, it was .23 cents. Yep, less than a stinkin quarter!! I told the cashier that I'm pretty sure that was the cheapest thing I have ever bought. Craziness. Nothin' but the best for my baby! Haha!! :)
I feel sorry for her future husband ;)
And, that black thing by her head.. her cell phone. Can't miss those important calls ya know!
In other news, I'm going to be crippled by age 30.
Yes, apparently my spine is degenerating and I need to seek immediate help. That will take 8 months and cost over $2,000. So says the chiropractor I've seen a couple of times now.
Let me preface all this.. roughly 4 weeks ago my lower back started hurting. Some days more than others, nothing I couldn't handle, just kinda annoying. Well, fast forward to my birthday, it was really starting to hurt! I could hardly carry Aubrey. On Wednesday, I was barely moving faster than a snail. All movements were torture. So, called this place I'd been hearing on the radio (Christian station mind you), they get me and and take some x-rays. I go back the next day for an adjustment.. then go back again Saturday for them to go over my x-rays and do another adjustment. That's a lot of appts. already! Well, I will say, everything the Dr. said did make sense, and I don't doubt his knowledge or really even his method, so.. basically you're supposed to have different curves throughout your spine.. well, my neck has almost no curve and neither does my lower back. That apparently is a problem. So, since the nerves in my neck are being bothered, those nerves are not being able to properly signal the rest of my spine.. therefore back pain. Or something like that. :) In order to correct this and get a curve back, I will have to go 3xweek for 12 weeks, 2xwk for 12 weeks then 1xwk for 8 weeks. Plus, $2,200.
Now, I know everyone is freaking and saying "SCAM!", maybe so, but, I have done a little research and I have read everything he said. So.. this could actually be a true. BUT, I don't have $2,200 or all that time!! I plan on getting a second opinion, and really, just need a quick fix. I have some questions that I still need answered, so.. ?!?
To sum all that up, my back hurts and it sucks!!
Here is the x-ray of my neck.
And, here are some x-rays I found online. The one on the left is 1 degree off from my neck. The one on the right is how your neck is supposed to look.
There is an x-ray of my back, but, its a lot harder to see. So, since my neck is screwed up that affects my lower back.
If anyone out there has had any issues like this, please let me know!! Thanks :)
By the way, you should see me try and discipline Aubrey. I slowly stand up, get over to her with no quick or sudden movements, slowly lower my self to get to her level. Forget bending over to pick her up from one of her fits.
You know she's scared. ;)
Peace.

You should see a spine specialist or a neurosuergon and get a second opinion from one of them. I have a few names if you would like to e-mail me I can get them to you! Babyshortcake_03@yahoo.com Hope your pain goes away!!
