Monday night, my sweet brother Scott went & picked up a dresser for me that I had bought off Craigslist. It is a really cute black one for our new baby girl & it was only $50.00, score! Layne was out of town, so I had to help him unload it off his truck & carry it up the stairs. I knew I probably shouldn't been lifting things...but just one time won't hurt...right???? Wrong!!!
The next morning I was putting Brody in his high chair for some breakfast & I froze with the WORST pain in my lower back. I seriously could NOT move!!! Mind you Layne was out of town & Brody was sooo grumpy & sick & wanting to be held all day...turns out he has an ear infection.
I went to Dr. Ty (our chiropractor) & bawled like a baby, in front of him & his wife, Cindy! It was so embarrassing! I was so overwhelmed with all that I had going on this week, like hosting a parenting class at our house, talking in church on Sunday...the last thing I wanted to worry about was my back! Man those pregnancy hormones are brutal....but I am better today...well at least I can stand up straight. Back pain is no fun!! Thank goodness for chiropractors....so I learned my lesson, don't lift heavy things while prego!!!

hey crazy lady! glad things are better now... but what in the world? lifting a dresser up the stairs when you are prego? i wouldn't even do that and i'm NOT prego! :o) hopefully mr. layne gets back soon though!
Oh Katie, you poor thing!! I am so sorry for you! I hope Layne gets home soon! Sounds like you have a super busy week! Hope your back has a complete recovery soon!!!
Why in the world didn't you call? I would have been there in a heart beat to help out. I am so sorry this week has been so crazy for you. I hope Layne gets home soon and can take over the load for a while. Please let me take your boys from you for awhile, so you can relax and go do some self pampering.
Oh, I am so sorry..that is the worst! When does Layne get back in town...you need a break!
so we're coming tomorrow night. i have mixed feelings. excited to see you and everyone...sheila! but not feeling very teachable. actually hopeless might be the right word. no, tierd is the perfect description of how i'm feeling right about now. can't wait till friday-when tills get's her tubes. see you in less than 24 hrs. ;)
I am soooo sorry Katie! After my car accident I died with back pain, that being said I can't imagine dealing with it while being prego. And not being able to take medicine! I hope it gets better, and Layne gets home soon. I loved your post about St. patricks day. Your such a wonderful momma. Can't wait for you to have your little princess.
Hey I saw you coming out of Dr. Guthrie's office. I was there with Courtney.
Isn't it crazy how sometimes we think we can do things, no big deal, and then after all is said and done we say, "WHAT WAS I THINKING" Sadly I do that quite often. Sorry about your back. Hope it feels better and that your busy week goes smoothly!
Oh you poor thing! I've never had a shooting back pain like that, but my sister has had some bad back problems so I've seen how bad it can be. I'm glad that you're feeling better now. Take care of yourself!
Hey loser! We need to get together again and plan Rock Band! That was so fun! When need to get together for Amber's b-day and Donnies! Lunch or a girl's night out! You plan it since you have the most kids and your schedule is crazy. Girl you are busy! You never slow down! Well call me! Peace out!
Oh my goodness! I am so sorry to hear that you had a crazy week! Hope you can find some time to yourself! You DESERVE it! ;)
That stinks so bad about your back. I hope it's feeling better now!! Isn't it killer having stairs when you are pregnant? Gotta love those stairs!!
Oops, I have to admit that by the end I was going so crazy "nesting" that I lifted and moved some things I definitely should not have!
I hope your better, and we need to come see you guys ASAP!!!
Hi Katie,
I felt so bad for you! I almost cried seeing you in so much pain!
I don't know why you were embarrassed! Ty remembers when I was pregnant with #4....we had a trip down memory lane! It wasn't pretty! You have so much going on, and I don't know HOW you do it!! My advice to you is to slow down! Your kids are soooo little and need you. Don't try to do everything! I tried to do everything and remember being miserable! You are my idol! How fun to be able to shop for a little girl!! i think I would be broke if I had a girl, there is so much cute stuff out there! I hope you feel better soon!!
Katie- you poor thing. When I was prego I would take FULL advantage of that and do NOTHING that I wasnt supposed to do or what not. hope you feel better and stop lifting heavy objects. silly girl. hey, i've been trying to get ahold of you. Iwas trying to send you an invitation to a jewlery party that i am having THIS Friday APril 4th. You are totally invited and you can bring any of your girlfriends that you want. It's going to be soooo much fun. Tons of food, fun, games, prizes and JEWLERY, (even chances to win free jewlery) This is a great girls night out. Hope you can come.
