Oh Goodness

It's Candy Apple Goodness!!

Don't move! I've caught you red handed!

Abbie just watches and learns.

This one is for you mom and Aunt Amy. Think chocolate pudding...

Don't step on a crack

Don't worry no one's back is injured. We're just at one of Brady's favorite places: Dr. Amy's Office!! She's a chiropractor here in town and we took our birthing class together. Thank goodness for her during the last part of pregnancy. My sacrum was outta place and causing some pain. She has an amazing at home birth story. Her son was having difficulty breathing. She adjusted his neck and back and he started breathing much better and wasn't blue anymore. It makes me wonder what would have happened at a hospital where they might not trust the skill or technique that a chiropractor has. I'm sure he would have gotten the care he needed, but would it have been more elaborate and much more of an "ado" than a simple adjustment could fix?

Anywhoo...I happened to have my camera with me on this visit so I took some pictures. Brady loves looking at the spine model. I think he's kinda amazed that he's got one of those in his body. He's a pro now at helping Dr. Amy use the adjustment table while mommy is getting her adjustment. He also likes to "get the popcorn out" of his body. Dr. Amy will do his back and then he'll turn himself over to get his neck done. He knows the drill.

Here Abbie is lounging in one of her favorite spots. She too loves going to the chiro. I noticed that she would always have her head going to one side. I can't remember which now. I would try to get her to turn it the other way and she'd resist. Dr. Amy said she was tight on one side. After getting adjusted the first time Abbie seemed much more comfortable and happier. I asked what does a baby do to need to be out-of-whack like that. I was answered "be born." Huh, that makes sense. Chiropractic had also helped Abbie "go" during those first few weeks. It has something to do with the sacrum being out of alignment and pressure in the wrong spot. That interferes with the baby's ability to recognize the need to push and "go."

Thank you to Dr. Amy for helping us keep our backs and bodies healthy!!
