letdown...

I have been looking forward to my appointment with my endocrinologist for weeks. I almost woke up excited for it this morning! Don’t act surprised, you know I am odd. Becky even volunteered to come watch my kids so I didn’t have to pay a babysitter $30 and pay for parking! We love Becky! She has saved my life several times, but we truly became blood sisters as she agreed to a 6 day road trip with me and our four kids ages 5 and under last summer. I don’t know why she still likes me either, but I am so grateful!


So, I go running into the office. No, not because I was that excited…of course I was late! However, I did surprise Dr. Smith with an enthusiastic hug. I was perched on the edge of my seat waiting for him to give me the good news. TOTAL LETDOWN! I guess I shouldn’t use that word too casually since I am currently dealing with a little prolactin issue. I will spare you the details, but let’s just say that the girls have been working overtime and making my other hormones slack off.


I guess I was hoping that my doctor would tell me that my hormone levels look great, which means I should be on my way to becoming Mary Poppins! You know…a spoon full of sugar, merry go rounds, racing horses…and she does it all with energy and a smile?

No luck. So if you know where I can find Mary Poppins will you tell me so I can tell her where to shove her sugary spoon?


On a positive note, my next blood tests don’t require fasting! I mean all a girl wants is a little energy. Is that too much to ask? Don’t even comment and tell me to try working out…touchy subject at the moment.


The highlight of my day: watching my ripped husband and his three mini-mes exercise. Damian has been working out with P90x dvds. My favorite is a toss up between watching him do yoga and listening to our house shake when he does the jumping one. The kids love to work out with him, and Eden usually hangs in there for the full hour! You go girl! Here are my cuties who all have more energy than me.
