I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. This is a very common hormonal disorder that has the following symptoms (from WebMD): Few or no menstrual periods or Heavy, irregular vaginal bleeding. Male pattern baldness Male-type hair growth (hirsutism) on the face and body Acne and oily skin, caused by high androgen levels. Depression or mood swings Obesity If you watch I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant, then women with PCOS are also...
Pregnancy Countdown: 7 weeks, 1 day I had forgotten how miserable morning sickness was. I get up and feel pretty ok. Then after about 30 minutes, I am in the pit of hell. Nothing I eat helps. Nothing I drink stops it. I just get more and more nauseous until I puke up whatever I’m eating to make it better. I’ve got a prescription for some Phenerg*n and that’s helping – even though it makes me loopy and sleepy and dizzy....
Well, we did. Whether to have another child or not has often come up in conversation and we’ve mostly been on the path of whatever happens, happens.
Well Mother Nature is an interesting mistress and she and God got together and decided we weren’t done…
YES!! I AM PREGNANT!!!
WOO HOO!
I’m due March 10, 2011.
No drugs. No crazy charts. Just wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am.
My daughter turned two on Friday.
Over the last few weeks we’ve been having a bit of fun round these parts. Firstly, I took my darling girl to a speech therapist to have a speech evaluation.
By the time they are two, children should know between 25 and 50 words and should be beginning two word sentences. SM knows about 20 and uses about 10 consistently.
We had her hearing evaluated first and she passed with flying colors.
So the next week, we got her speech evaluated.
Her receptive language – or the language she understands and responds to, follows directions and commands, etc – is on the level of a 20 month old or within “average” guidelines.
Her expressive language – or the speech she can say – is on the level of a 13 month old – well UNDER “average” guidelines.
She is a “late talker” rather than being diagnosed as “speech delayed” and so far, insurance will pay for the evaluation but not the weekly recommended therapy priced at $330 an hour.
And while she’s a late talker, that doesn’t mean she’s quiet. Anything but. She “talks” constantly. Some words you will probably understand and some you definitely won’t.
We go for her 2 year wellness trip on Monday and I am eager to see how tall she is now. Last time, she was 35 inches tall and I know she’s taller than 3 feet now.
She is altogether delightful. She is a ball of energy and wants to RUN RUN RUN all the time. Keeping up with her sometimes is absolutely exhausting. But she is wonderful.
She’s started her own version of dancing in the last few days. It involves wiggling her backside and jumping up and down.
She runs and runs and then comes over to me and wants a hug. She wraps her little arms around my neck and pats my back when she hugs. Then it’s down for more running.
I turned 40 a couple of weeks ago. I would have written before now, but there’s been so much going on. Truthfully, I should do a better job. But I digress… When I was 20, I thought about what life would be like when I was 40 and I have to say that as I look around me, it’s nothing like what I imagined. But I am happy. I have a wonderful husband and a beautiful daughter. We have a cute little house with a new roof and we’re...
