Being a home owner is keeping me busy but I love it. Being a mom to an 8 month old and 4 dogs is not only keeping me busy but keeping me off the computer more and more. Right now Isla is napping, the new puppies Susie and Sunny are in their kennels with their cones of shame from their spay surgery, napping. Penny is at my feet, and Daisy is under the quilt next to me.
Isla is doing a few new things: Standing unassisted for up to 10 seconds (as of today) she crawled over to the stairs, let go, and was up for 10 seconds before I said "Yay!!" and clapped, so she then dropped and clapped back. Clapping is also new, and not a fluke! She started that last week, and we figured out it was for real this weekend. She still loves climbing our stairs and we've gotten all the way to the second floor quite a few times now. She also likes to say "dada" and is finding more of her m's and n's lately and is "mnamanan-ing." Of course I'm a proud mama and I think it's the coolest thing ever.
We're currently working on putting up the rest of our ceiling fans, and hanging curtains and other goodies in our house. Also doing some furniture shopping for things like a desk, entertainment center, bedroom furniture, and a kitchen table, chairs, and benches within the next year or so. We are enjoying (and trying to be patient) on all the updates and things we want to do that will make our house a little more practical and comfortable.
This week I had an endocrinologist appointment, and they're running further tests. Apparently my thyroid is doing strange things and it's making me tired, hot all the time, gain weight, hormonal, and just a flat out crazy person some days. haha I won't find out anything til next week but in the meantime I'm not on any meds or diet changes yet. It's kind of like an epiphany, knowing that there's a reason that I've been feeling so bad and tired all the time. I've been wondering when this started and if it's the reason I've had so many weight issues the past few years. It's not just a laziness cycle or new mom stuff. In turn that makes me scared, and frustrated that I do have something going on and that we have to take care of it. It's never fun to be unhealthy.
I think that's all for now as I have a crying baby in the other room!
