Happy Holidays!!!

So far, the Holidays have been super! Even though Nuggette is curled up in a little mini "lauren ball" (yah...you know what I'm talking about if you've seen me snuggling on a couch, cause thats how Nuggette is chillin these days...) deep within her womb, I hope she feels the love she already has! The Woodcock Clan has come in to town last week. For Christmas Nuggette got some more books and some more clothes, but most importantly, Red Sox gear!!! She has a Red Sox night light, Red Sox pacifiers, and drum roll please....a bib that says "I may slobber but I am smart enough to know that the Yankees still SUCK!" As for me, I am totally enjoying my growing collection of maternity pants. I still do not understand why women prolong wearing their own pants when they could have the amazing comfort of all elastic waist pants??? So the last full week of school before break, the admin had massueses (sp?) come in and give the staff nice quickie massages on their prep period as a Christmas gift. Along with the massage, the company was giving out coupons for a full chiropractic overview and a free 30 minute massage--I figured why not? considering the condition of my back. Well...I went last week. Upon talking to the doctor first he was VERY optimistic of curing my scoliosis without surgery and how he specialized in it and its his favorite back condition to treat and how this is the PERFECT time to go because little Nuggette will deform and twist my body in so many ways and after birth they will shift back, so we can shift them back into the correct position. Keep in mind this was prior to observing my back, and as I'm preggers he couldn't do an x-ray. Well the doc and his nurse (?) were pretty much completely dumbfounded that I can even walk and function on a daily basis given the condition of my scoliosis (keep in mind, I haven't been to a back doctor since 3rd grade). So at the end of his evaluation I asked, "So....am I fixable?" His response? A nice, nervous laugh. But he did say he is up for a good challenge. Apparently my back is in worse shape than I thought! Fortunately, the chiropractor is covered by the insurance, so I figured why not give it a try? I may even grow an inch or so.... :)
