Oh My Aching Back...

arms and chest!  I noticed a few months ago that my back and arms were sore and achy, I knew it was from holding the baby.  However my chest was hurting too.  Hmmm...

When A was a toddler I had the same chest pain.  I went to the Doctors, had x-rays, ultrasounds, etc. etc.  It was quite painful and I was very scared it was serious.  No one could figure out what was going on.   The pain continued on and off for years.  After C was mobile the chest pains went away.

So here I am carrying for a baby again and my chest is hurting.  This is were I had my Duh! moment.  Not an Aha moment but a, Hello Shelley???????  Do you think it's from carrying children for years? And when you stopped carrying a baby or toddler the pain went away.  Do you see it now?

Well yes I do.  Too bad it took this long to figure it out.

To ease the pain I now move Baby Bee in a umbrella stroller around the house.  She seems to enjoy it and it has made my life a little easier and less painful too.
