My back adjustment issues started while pregnant with Miss Everly. I’ve always had lower back pain. My tail bone is curved to the side and is the culprit. Before pregnancy stretching, soaking, massage and back walking seemed to do the trick just fine.

Then one day during the 2nd trimester of pregnancy I got way more intense pain. Sitting and standing became unbearable as Everly grew inside me…

After months of bi-monthly adjustments Everly was born and my back pain subsided for the most part, until she got so big. She’s about a 5th of my weight now which means carrying her around on my one hip has started to create some issues for me…

I just had a long overdue adjustment last week and I went and jacked my back up 2 days after that by wrangling a futon all by myself. I have this radiating, aching on the backside and along the top of my left hip bone. Called my lovely chiropractor and he seems to know exactly the cause and says to come in tomorrow so he can fix it.

Carrying around an almost 20lb squirmy girl has my back all whacked out and then I go getting a wild hair and I move her room furniture all around myself… Bad news for the back but good news for the eyes. Her room looks so nice. Dang! Forgot to snap a photo of it to share before she went to bed. Grr…

Oh, yes and we had a fun Easter with Everly. She got her hand made Easter bunny, some baby crocs, a set of play gardening tools, clothes and a few other trinkets in her basket.

The grown adults across from us (we are talking like middle aged adults) had a festive Easter egg hunt in the yard with no kids present. We were laughing about this over brunch and while we got all the compost cleared from the driveway.

Then we headed out to enjoy the sights and get some family photos taken. Here is a sampling of the fun, N excluded of course (He wasn’t excluded from the photo session though). Just can’t be putting public images of him on here.

The garden is coming together nicely and I plan to photograph it and blog about it next. It all depends on how busy Everly keeps me though.

Now that she’s motoring around, my free time is even more diminished. Don’t want to make a habit of her chewing on scissors or eating random chunks of unknown crap off the floor like she did today. Today was a “crap-our-baby-isn’t-stationary-or-dependent-on-us-anymore-gotta-keep-a closer-eye-on-things” kind of parenting fail day. Oops.

Oh and for a flash back to memory lane, here we were 6 months ago: Both of us had much shorter hair!
