Updates!

Ben's teeth are driving him crazy - poor baby gnaws on anything and everything he can all day and night. Nothing seems to really help and it's just pitiful :(


Katie is doing well and being really good as usual.
She is CRAZY smart and surprises us still every day. She's starting to get sneaky and it's wonderfully refreshing! She asked my mother the other day if she could watch Little Mermaid (I had been telling her no because every time she had asked me it was a bad time) My mother told her she had to wait for me to wake up from my nap and Katie said, "Mimi, you should just put it on because mommy might say no"



It isn't really manipulative yet - it's still innocent and hysterical!
She certainly keeps us on our toes. I'm convinced she's going to be a defense attorney - so I guess we gotta start saving for Law School. She can argue, defend and debate like it's NOTHING!

As for me - I went to a specialist to see about my Thyroid and he upped my medicine and sent me for an ultrasound because he thought he felt something. He said if it comes back "positive" we might have to do a biopsy which he isn't worried about because 97% of thyroid biopsies come back as benign - but I'm worried about it because the thought of someone sticking a needle in my neck makes me sick to my stomach.
So... here's hoping it comes back with NOTHING and that I just have to take these meds - which have started working!!! I feel SO MUCH BETTER! I feel human again. I don't want to sleep all day - the hot flashes are going away, and I have been staying awake past 8 pm!!!! It's amazing!

Dave and Katie still have one day tickets to use at Sesame Place and since we are all finally starting to feel better, we are thinking of going down tomorrow and changing those tickets to season tickets because then they will be good for the rest of this season and ALL of next season. It's a lot of money but it'll be worth it because next year Ben will be the perfect age and I'm sure Katie will still love it and I'm sure we will go lots and lots of times:)

So, that's our update - gotta run I have LOTS of work and stuff to catch up on since I've been feeling so badly for so long! It feels good to have my energy back, but it doesn't last as long as it used to yet:(
