Well, let's see. It's been a little while since I posted. Part of that is because I've been sick all week long! Yay for me! Thank goodness for takeout...I mean seriously, when you are sick you just don't want to do anything, but there's this thing...kids like to eat their meals. Needless to say our family took full advantage of takeout this week. Hopefully things are back to normal soon. I'm still sick, but I'm not hacking up a lung, so we're good here.
On the fertility front, things are in a waiting pattern as of now. I think I'll be starting my cycle soon so that means I get to go in for that blood draw sometime this week. We're doing it on day 3 to see what my hormone levels are. I also get to take the glucose test. I hate that test. I don't think I'll be able to drink orange soda for a while after I do it. That stuff is NASTY!
Jenny and I were talking about the whole PCOS diagnosis thing the other day. She brought up the fact that maybe it was something that needed to happen. I tend to agree. While it's not fun dealing with the issues, I'm sure I've had these issues for quite some time, not just recently. I would've had to deal with them sooner or later. PCOS can cause other problems down the road like a higher risk for uteran cancer, diabetes, etc. I don't want to go down that road. I'd much rather manage it now and avoid that whole thing. I think I am blessed.
A lot of times, people only think they're "blessed" if good things are happening to them. As I've grown older, and I hope wiser, I've come to see that's not the case at all. We're blessed all the time, even when things are bad. Heavenly Father is always there to help us and lift us when we need it. He blesses us in the good times, but he also blesses us in the bad times. I think I'm blessed to have this diagnosis. At least I know what's wrong and I can attempt to fix it. I will be healthier when all of this is finished. It's like the bible says, "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven." (Eccl. 3:1). Is it my season yet? Well, not quite yet, but there are steps to be taken in everything. This is just a step along in my life. It's not my WHOLE life.
Speaking of life, today we finally got out of the house! We had a family party at Dan's dad's house with the whole Hufstetler side of the family. We also had a baby shower for my niece who is due in a few weeks. She got so many cute things for the baby! I crocheted a sweater and hat for her. It's similar to the one I did for Rachel's baby, but the flowers are a bit different. Anyway, it was nice to be out of the house and hanging out with the family. I'm grateful that they've truly become my family. I feel comfortable around them. I love them. They love me and have accepted me, which is a great feeling. I know people don't always have warm fuzzies for their in laws, so it's really nice for us. Ethan had a great time. He loves playing with his cousins. He played so hard he actually fell asleep on the way home. It was so nice. I just brought him home and put him to bed.
All in all, it was a good day. I was blessed today.
