2. We celebrated baby MH's birthday last week. We had a housewarming/birthday party last Saturday. With my wonky hormones and overly anxious self I was worried sick about the party. We had 60+ people including all the kids. There were no way that I would have been able to cook all that was needed. Just thinking about it gives me a headache. We had the food catered by a local E.thiopian restaurant. We made some of the veggie dishes and we had at least 12 different dishes. Boy it makes it so easy when you don't have to cook. All week before the party I was a ball of nerves but all went well. Everyone had a blast. Baby MH got to cut a white chocolate cake but did not take part in the eating :).
3. I have been enjoying being SAHM for the most part but my hormonal state makes it hard. Sometimes I think that if I am busy with a stupid job then I wouldn't worry about the most random stuff. I have not gone to my Dr for a follow up and figure out how I can deal with the debilitating anxious feeling. I also get numbing headaches ever morning and I think that is due to the progesterone. I was on 100 mg before ovulation and 200 mg after but I switched to 100 mg through out my cycle which made the headaches better. I am just tired of going to the Dr :(. I stopped taking T3 for a week, didn't get a chance to pick up the prescription. After a few days I started feeling the lump on the side of my throat which was more obvious when I swallowed.
4. On the subject of TTC we are not avoiding but not actively trying either. MH sleeps with us so that also puts a limit. I have been lazy about charting but I am kind of discouraged. I hardly have any fertile CM and I am just not ready for the battle of TTC. I don't think I want to go there again with the obsessively charting, CM analysis, and all that comes with it. I am just not emotionally strong enough to handle the disappointments. Since Dr. S has retired I have made an appointment with another Napro Dr at the same office for November. yes Nov, so far out. Right now I want to get pregnant so that I can feel sane. The last 5-6 month of my pregnancy I felt hormonally balanced. It was the best time for me health-wise. I do anything to feel that normally again. Is it bad that I want to be pregnant more than I want to give birth to a child?
5. We have been trying to transition MH to her crib, it is not working so well. When she sleeps we transfer her to her crib but she wakes up in the middle of the night and looks for us and starts crying. At that point there is no putting her back in the crib so she comes to our bed. This has been going on for two weeks. She sleeps in the crib for her naps. She doesn't want to be placed in the crib when she is awake. I think we are not trying hard enough. My mantra is she will transition when she is ready. We will see how long this lasts.
6. I am doing a bad job on time management. Being a SAHM has been challenging and my weakest point is time management. I have so many tasks and so little time and drive to get things done.
7. I love fall but I hate what comes after it :(. Just thinking about cold weather puts me in a bad mood. Hopefully it won't be too bad.

I know how you feel about the party! With my husband's ginormous family, just family members alone at a party would exceed 60. He mentioned wanting to have a halloween party last night, and I'm thinking, "No way!" Thankfully, he's taking night school classes on wednesdays, and halloween is on wednesday this year. :)
ReplyDeleteId kill to see your labs....
ReplyDeleteWhat are you doing not taking your T3? Get that mailed to your house! Do not make me come up there! You can not mess with these hormones or you will get taken down! LOL
hahahahaha
I'm also very curious to see your labs, or at least to have you go to see your doc and have them looked at. Honey, this isn't normal! And skipping T3? LOL. I'm with Sew, I have them automatically mailed to me so I don't have to remember.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the whole trying to be aware of time management while at home. I don't have much of a time concept anyway. So I've started setting timers for myself. LOL. I actually do. I sat down and wrote out a schedule for each day.... with different chores on different days, and when I know I can fit them in between nap/feeding times... and now I set the timer to remind me to get up and do it, or I'll totally forget/not realize it's time already. And when I really don't want to clean, I'll just watch an episode of "hoarders"... works every time! I'm in there cleaning in no time. :)
