Tired and Achy

Today starts week number 6!!!!! So for the last two days the morning sickness, such a silly name really since it can hit any time, hasn't been too bad, just the occasional something will set it off. I have been snacking constanting so I think that helps. Healthy snacks like carrot sticks, apples, yogurt, and saltines are my staples. Other than that I just feel achy all over and tired. I could totally use a name right now.

I decided to switch to a different 0B practice. I am now doing to go to one that is by Evergreen Hospital and also delivers there. I decided that it would make it a lot easier for Daley to make the appointments. They have several midwives (licensed midwifes as well as having their nurse practioner license) in the practice which is really neat. I think I am going to go with midwives. Danielle had a great experience with them. My general care "doctor" is also a nurse practioner. I kind of feel like they tend to be more patient friendly and understanding. They are more willing to explore options rather than just rush and prescribe medicine like most doctors. I like the more chatty "touchy feely" experience of talking with someone that is deciding my health because it makes me feel like they care and that I am not just some chart.

Wow I thought this would be a short post but it has turned out not to be. Oh one final bit of news. Daley and I found a new chiropractic practice to go to that is near our house. We found them at the Mill Creek Street Fair. It is actually a chiropractic and massage practice. Anyway we got this great deal for a $30 massage, plus they totally bill both of our insurances. I am excited about getting the pregnancy massages. There have been studies that show that women who get massage and chiropractic therapy during pregnancy have quicker and easier labors. Here is hoping!
