Health Update

Well, I saw my doctor today, and apparently weight loss was a concern and therefore a symptom. It is most likely a thyroid condition, but blood work will confirm and hopefully specify what type. My resting heart rate is high at about 100, while sitting. When I walk around carrying Addie, it gets up to 120. So, my doctor gave me a script for that. I will find out more in a couple days when the test results come back. I have a follow up appointment next Wednesday to discuss results and treatment. Please keep me in your prayers.

What's wrong with me?

I know it's a loaded question, but let's focus on my health.  I haven't been feeling 'normal' for a while now.  Here are my symptoms.

Weak

Tired (I could sleep all day)

Low energy

Shaky

Hot flashes(not sure I really like this term, but it is what it is)

Shortness of breath (I need to sit or lay down after taking a shower, or climbing stairs)

Nauseous

Low appetite

The weak and shaky feeling stays with me pretty much ALL the time, the other symptoms come and go.  And just so there isn't any confusion, NO I'm not pregnant....I took a test.   I have my own ideas, but my doctor won't do blood work without seeing me first.  I want to hear what others think before I share my thoughts.  I have waited almost 2 weeks to see her, my appointment is tomorrow.  It's pretty much all I can do to get myself and Addison ready in the morning, and then when I get home I just can't WAIT until I can go to bed.  One night I almost went to the redi-med, but I just didn't have the energy.  I realize my doctor will have a nice long lecture for me on my diet and how I should change.  That's not going to happen, I would just like her to treat ME, however screwed up I am.

Diagnosis?

Valentine's Party

Addison's first Valentine's Day party at day care. They really try to get the infants involved too, which I really like. They are stripped down to their diapers and set at the table. They give them cool whip to play in/with. Addison LOVED it! She quickly figured out that she could eat it. They were supposed to decorate cookies, but one of the teachers accidentlly dropped them on the ground. They also had some snacks, so Addie also got to try some finger jello, also a hit.

Dinner

We went out for an early Valentine's dinner since Dean has to work Saturday.  We went to TGI Friday's, my favorite along with pizza hut.  Addison was a little angel, she enjoyed sitting right up to the table with her own plate of puffs. :)  She even gets them to her mouth all by herself now. She also tried mashed potatoes for the first time.

Hey, my puffs are all gone.

There's some more...thanks mommy!

Superbowl

I know this is a little late, but here are a couple pics from our superbowl party. Food, friends, and football. What more could you want. The guys took over the basement, aka man cave. The ladies were banned, but we had our own party upstairs. :)
