Finally!

Well, I went to the DR today.

I have had a myriad of very vague symptoms since Autumn was born. It took a really long time for me to realize that everything I am enduring is not normal postpartum healing.

I have mentioned problems to friends and family and most people didn't seem to take my concerns seriously, which is probably why it took almost a year to get in to see a doctor. A few people thought it may be a hormone problem, and more specifically a thyroid problem. I was very worried the doctor would ignore my concerns but he was very attentive.

He said "Well, lets hope it is a thyroid problem, because it is easy to detect and treat. If it is something else it will take longer to straighten out"

So, I am happy an relieved to be on my way to feeling better. I still have a cold, but that is nothing in comparison. I can live.

In a few minutes Adam and I are headed off to scrimmage. No jamming for me tonight please :)

This is my Beautiful baby modeling an item I will be listing in a few days.

Oh... in case I have never mentioned it before, I HATE visiting the DR.

Long Weekend

This weekend was WFTDA western regionals and it was a painfully long weekend. Duke city derby's Munecas Muertas went in to the tournament 6th and left 6th.

It was really difficult to be away from Autumn and Adam, and I was very emotional. I was disappointed that even though I go to almost every practice I had not improved more. It is really annoying when you work harder than you have ever worked and are not seeing the improvement you expect, and then to top it off you are overly emotional. It is all related to some kind of health issue that should be a hormonal imbalance and I THINK is hypothyroid. I am suffering from a meriad of symptoms including extreme difficulty concentrating, fatigue, moodiness and irritability as well as being much too sensitive, and that is only a few. The thing that is really hard for me is that I feel like no one believes me. Maybe because before I experienced it I would not have believed someone that said they were working hard and not seeing any fruits of thier labor. I have been waiting about three months for an appointment because we had to wait for our new insurance to kick in and then we had to wait almost 2 months for an appointment.

I am glad to be home.

Sorry for the downer, here are some cute baby pictures to make up for it :)
This is why Grandpa Howard (my dad) calls Autumn "The Tornado"

Yes, that actually is a mini burrito that Autumn is eating :)
