One of Those Things I Didn’t Know about Motherhood…

This  was my hand about a week ago. What happened?? Nothing really, just me  holding my baby that is ever getting heavier lol. With Syntia’s teething  and her wanting to spend more time with me and on me, first my wrist  started hurting and later on my thumb joint. Felt exactly like a sprain.  After a day of rest where Lj was home so he could hold her most of the  time, my hand healed up pretty quickly and  seems to have gone through an upgrade, being just a tad stronger than  it was before getting injured. The reason I am sharing this is also as a  heads up for any pregnant ladies, to exercise your hands and arms in  preparation of your baby coming, because once baby is here it moves  really fast in how quickly they grow, and your arms and hands can’t  always keep up with getting stronger in time. It’s not something I had  been warned about or had considered, but it turns out this type of  injury is very common for new moms. Prevention is the best cure #joysofmotherhood #carryingmybaby #preventionisthebestcure #parentingforlife
