Mistakes in Motherhood

The secret is out… we want another baby. I guess three is not enough. Yes, I know I am crazy. No, I am not trying for a girl, I would LOVE to have a daughter, I won’t lie… but I am opening my arms to any baby God is willing to give me.

We are seeking medical help with our past history of infertility. I got the ball rolling at my anual last month and she told me to go back for some post ovulatory blood work. I still cannot get my jaw up off the floor from what she told me.

I AM NORMAL!

Normal? “Your bloodwork all came back normal”. Never in my life have I heard that sentance uttered when it came to my reproductive health. Not only that, but all my bloodwork contradicts my diagnosis of PCOS and Insulin Resistance.

Wish us luck, this time I KNOW I do not have the patience with my body as I did trying to get pregnant with Matthew.

I will admit it, I am a research junkie. Before accepting anything at face value, I will look it up on the internet to verify it. My husband will even tease me about it… he will tell me something and then say “you are going to look that up, aren’t you?”

That is why I love websites like http://www.OurHealthNetwork.com. Not only can I look up information on some common problems. The other nice feature of this website is that people can submit their own questions to their board-certified physicians, for absolutly free! They also have a health library where you can access accurate, up-to-date information on a variety of health topics and recieve answers such as symptoms, causes, and self-help options and treatments writen in simple terms, not complicated articals that look like they came straight from the medical journals.

They also have a comprehensive medical supply store, a newsletter, videos, and an over-the-counter store. It is no wonder this website has been around since 1999, it is a great asset, especially to those who have limited or no access to medical care due to being unable to afford insurance. They have made the news quite a few times, as well as have some great testimonials.

I got my things I needed to do done when I first got up, most of what I needed to accomplish was medical… call Christopher’s doctor about a bill and a referral, call my doctor about bloodwork, call my insurance about coverage. I also managaed to get my house clean and my checkbook balanced.

I feel like I still have so much to do, when really I don’t. I just need to plan dinner tonight. I feel like I have gotten nothing done, just because I have not left the house and the kids are home (Teacher Training Day). I think having the kids home has thrown me off kilter… it still feels like a weekend.

Now if I could just figure out what to make for dinner I would be happy.

Over at payperpost they had their first ever Postie-Patrol. What the heck is a Postie-Patrol, you ask? Well, click the link and see silly! Or, if you want to keep on reading what I am typing I guess I could explain what it was about, seems like watching the video would be easier though. So, basically, PayPerPost had the idea of popping into unsuspecting posties and making them do crazy things, like drink water, eat breakfast or have a scavenger hunt. Then, because they are so CrAzY, if you win the challange, they pay you money! They are crazy, huh? I guess this is just another way for PayPerPost to give us thanks for spreading the love. No, THANK-YOU PayPerPost, we love you!
