Baby Emma Blog

In keeping with a promise to myself, I’ve decided that the only way to keep an account of the first few weeks of Emma’s birth is to blog it with daily discourse and late night meanderings!

Subluxations!

Emma received a chiropractic treatment yesterday. This was her second outing so far. It seems she was "subluxated"! Actually, it's interesting to note that apparently a newborn can receive quite a bit of trauma to their spines and necks when they go through the birth process. Even during a caesarian retrieving a child (eg. using forceps) can cause spines and necks to go out of alignment. So Emma went in for a manipulation....and of course slept through it! Didn't even raise a dainty teeny eyebrow. My credit card however did! Her third outing was today, at Target, where daddy's credit card was then hammered to within an inch of its life so his girls (including the missus) could teach Emma the theraputic value of shopping. Again, she slept through it! Thank God her next outing will be at my folks place for dinner this Saturday. Otherwise my back and my credit card will definitely become "subluxated"!!!

P.S: Cool word, "subluxated". Would you like to know more?
