I wonder if I never noticed the pains and inability to get around in the last stages of gestation as much before I had two little ones to look after and teach and play with and take potty and wake up in the middle of the night with. I count it all joy! But I see my need for God's strength all the more everyday. I find myself saying things like "I can't carry two sleeping toddlers up the stairs, Lord, but you can. Give me your strength!" He is so faithful.
Last night my legs where in so much pain, I was practicing my relaxation techniques from labor class! Headed to the chiropractor after my mom gave me a raindrop technique and it is so much better. I have been having pelvic pain and back pain, it just finally all came to a peak that I couldn't handle anymore. Praise The Lord for a chiropractor I trust.
My hemoglobin lab showed low iron (10 down from 12 at first trimester) so I stopped by earth fare and got floradix, vitamin code prenatal and some C gummies for the kids. $82 later! But it's for the baby and me. Gotta stay healthy. My second day of eating a steak for lunch plus floradix and I can already tell a difference in energy levels. Lets see how long I can keep it up!
Please continue to pray for my back and that I would not strain it too much in every day activities.
And that the baby would be healthy indeed!
