Easy Pregnancy?

When we first found out we were going to have a baby, I immediately worried about how difficult the pregnancy might be on my wife. She gets car sick fairly easy and I thought she'd spend the first few months of pregnancy upchucking all over the place. But, funny thing, she really hasn't dealt with morning sickness. At most, she is very picky about what she eats -- and gets nauseous when I cook something her new taste buds don't approve.

What has troubled my wife is a ruptured disc in her back. Because she is pregnant, they can't take x-rays or an MRI, so the exact disc and its condition are unknown, except the intense pain. I worry how that will feel once she is 6-7 months pregnant. Hopefully, as the baby is more developed, they can take an x-ray and give her the treatment she needs. Right now, her chiropractor is keeping her walking.

So while she has been given a pass on one of the most notorious symptoms pregnant women have to endure, nature through her another curve ball. Connor will grow up owing his mom big-time.
