thanks for the compliment. i'm afraid i'm not very good at taking compliments. i would definately disagree with you...but thank you.
i have a heating pad but was told that if its muscular that too much heat will aggrivate the inflamation.
i sort of have existing back trouble, since this last pregnancy. i gained SO much weight my body wasn't used to that. then lately when i've lost all the weight and then a little more. my body has to adjust. but mostly too from the weight and holding squiggly babies. i ALWAYS seem to lift them wrong, back not arms/legs for strength.i've joined a health club and go most mornings to exercise a bit. i've been gentle the last couple days but making sure to have extra time with stretches and hot tub. that plus the ibuprofen seems to really help. But it gets wrenched again when i lift baby.
I mean even when i'm sitting in a chair and she desperately wants to sit on my lap, i lift her and it kills. but i mean what am i to do, look at my little baby in her sad little eyes and say "no, i cant lift you, no lap today"? no i can't so i grimice and bare it.
but just do it gently with no jerky motion. and to lift her up that i literally can not do from the ground so i have her climb on the couch or chair and i lift her from there. she doesnt mind that at all. and putting her down i kind of slide her down my leg.is DH helping, no. he has a friend that flew in from out of state and hes been staying with us. so the kiddos parts on me. but it normally is anyway. andi dont mind. i love his friend very much and hes a good influence on my DH and my children. in fact he's been playing more with my kids than DH. he's been playing a states game with my oldest and he played outside with them (and 3 other neighborhood kids) last night! when i was in making dinner (normally the kids would have to be stuck inside with me while i do it) it was WONDERFUL to see my kids have so much fun!
ya my youngest JUST turned 2 so we'll see how it goes. the 3's was worse for my oldest. but i have a feeling 2 AND 3 will be tough with this one! LOL!
ok. gonna take some ibuprofen and get to work.
thanks
