HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Today we have so much to be thankful for. We are thankful for our family that we get to share this holiday season with. We are thankful for the home we live in and the love we are surrounded by. We are thankful for our healthy baby to join our family in April. I am thankful for second helpings (for the baby, of course). Today, take a moment to remember what you are thankful for. We have all been given so much & not everyone in this world is so lucky!

Tomorrow is the big shopping day. Jason and I will go shopping with my mom and sister Kate in the morning! We will see how the pregnant girl does walking through the crowds all day long. This is our favorite time of year! Our decorations for Christmas are up a little early this year since Thanksgiving comes about a week late. We couldn't wait any longer.

Next year Baby Olson will be 7 months old to celebrate thanksgiving with us. On Tuesday, we will find out the gender and the planning will begin. We can not wait!

Enjoy your Thanksgiving day and remember we are thankful for you!!!

Chiropractic Care & Pregnancy

After a referral from a good friend, I started with Chiropractic care early in my pregnancy. I was having back pain from the start and really wanted to use it as a preventative method for future aches and pains. Little did I know that it would help in so many other ways. After my initial visit to the OB/GYN, they discovered that I had a thyroid problem which would need to be medicated especially during my pregnancy along with blood tests every few weeks to make sure that my levels were accurate. I was pretty disappointed because I really didn't want to have to take a bunch of medication during my pregnancy.

I started going to Dr. Heather at Yost Chiropractic right around the same time and after 4 weeks of visits with her...I went to have my thyroid tested again and it was in the expected range. I then learned that every part of your spine and nervous system is connected to another part of your body and how it functions. Well after my adjustments, as my spine was more correctly in alignment, my thyroid was functioning as I needed it to. I am so thankful that I don't have to be on medication. Chiropractic care is also known for faster and easier labor and deliveries and a faster recovery. Who wouldn't want that?!?!?

It's amazing the different things that can help you if you just take the time to learn about them.

19 days in counting until our ultrasound :) YEAH!!!
