PT, Pearly Whites, Pediatricians

I had physical therapy again today. We continued to tweak my exercises, and my PT did some manual therapy... stretching and pushing and moving my pelvis. I have not had a bad night since the first time she did the manual therapy a week ago. Between that, the strengthening, and walking... we're getting this pelvic joint pain thing under control. Thank God! I was really concerned about how I would make it through the third trimester and labor.

I also went to the dentist today. Exciting, I know. Between the pregnancy hormones and fertility drugs, my hygienist talked about the pregnancy gingivitis that surely existed in my mouth. Open Mouth. None! That's right. My pearly whites didn't fall victim to either gingivitis causing occurrence. Like I said... exciting, right?!

Some say the third trimester starts at 27 weeks other say 28 weeks. Either way... that means I am very close to being two thirds of the way through this pregnancy. I'm still not sure how that is even possible.

Oh and tomorrow I'm hoping to schedule an appointment with our potential pediatrician. We still have high hopes of moving back to BG soon, but we still live here and until I know otherwise... I need to plan and live accordingly. I have two that I am especially interested in. I have several questions, but the big one will be, "How do you feel about an alternative vaccination schedule?" Ha. That's going to be the big one. I'm hoping to save that for last. Maybe... warm her up a bit... get her to like us and want to be our pediatrician... then ask the potentially deal breaking question. We are not looking at an extreme alternative schedule, delaying a few here, cutting a couple there. Hopefully she'll respect our decision and research and be willing to take us on as patients. If not, I'll move on down my list! I trust that God will give us the right medical care provider for our child.

OK... time for bed! Have a great Wednesday. Oh and tomorrow I will no longer be in triple digits in my countdown to baby day... that's right... tomorrow we're down to 99 days until DD!!
