Cravings

I'll read a magazine and food will be mentioned. I'll think, that sounds good! Knowing we do not have it in the house, it can be frustrating. Another odd thing is that one day something is delicious and the next day I will turn my nose up at it. The last two nights I have been going to bed with a headache because I have not been eating a big enough dinner. Joe has been working and I will not cook for myself. So this morning, I told him everything I've been wanting- yogurt, fruit juice, strawberries, blueberries, cereal, milk, orange juice- and he went out and bought all of it while I was working. He also made dinner before he went to work so it would be prepared when I got home. He made me chicken, brussel sprouts, and a big bowl of cucumbers and tomatoes in Itailan dressing. The brussel sprouts made me gag and I loved them just a week or two ago! The cucumbers and tomatoes hit the spot! I think I will have something else tonight tonight like cereal or strawberries.

Fatigue in the worse symptom for me so far. Teaching isn't exactly a relaxing occupation either. By the time I get home, I have enough energy to get something to eat and sit in the chair until bedtime. I have clothes I need to hang up and the dishes occasionally get piled up. I feel unproductive right now.

I bought another wii game- To Cook or Be Cooked by the Food Network. I'm going to try it out this evening before Grey's Anatomy comes on.

My parents are still on their 35th wedding anniversary cruise. Tomorrow will have been a week. I hope they come home soon so we can talk. I haven't been able to tell them about my doctor's appointment.

Tomorrow is Friday!

Mastocytosis (Urticaria Pigmentosa)

Probably around January we noticed 3 brown spots on Lincoln. We thought he was getting moles or something. They popped up around the same time. The brown lesion is above his nipple At his 6-month well check (3/19/12), I asked the pediatrician to look at them. She said that moles don't pop up like that so we should have a dermatologist take a look at them. We scheduled an appointment with Joy Chastain's office (3/23/12), which Joe and I have been to for our skin. There are three ladies that work there and the one we were there to see, went to get another lady to look at them too. They were spouting off a lot of medical terms with their predictions. Ultimately, they recommended a biopsy so we could see what they were. Joe held Lincoln tight, which he didn't like. They injected numbing medicines and then they cut a piece of the one on his back. It was over quickly. I didn't like my babies' smooth skin being cut and scarred. We were told to keep it moist with Vasel

Adjustment Disorder "Stress Response Syndrome"

My frustration with watching the kids at home 12+ hours a day and being unemployed since June had taken a toll on me. The kids were going to school part and full-time over the summer and up until October 31. For the last month and a half, I had both kids home all day. My temper, patience, and boredom were reaching an all time high. Having a second was like having 10 to us. When people talk about wanting kids or a second, inside I yell, "Don't do it!"   I know it is just a matter of perspective and capability. For Joe and I, we struggle regularly to survive and work cohesively. Everyday is a battle. What to eat, which bathroom to potty in, stool or no stool, lights and fan, door open or closed, what shirt/pants/socks/shoes, what cup to drink out of, brush teeth or not, which paste/brush to use, what snacks/lunch/dinner to eat, which car seat to sit in, water or milk to drink, which movie to watch, bath or not, bubbles or not, which toys to play/share, which route to

Hypomelanic Macules "Ash leaf spots"

Image
On November 30, I noticed a white spot on Grey's upper left thigh. I know the date because I keep a calendar with all the daily events and I record them for her (and us). Anyways, the spot looked like a birthmark to me. I have a port wine mark on my upper left thigh too. So I wrote on her calendar- birthmark. I took her for her 6-month well check on Monday, December 23. After her exam, I asked about her scalp (cradle cap) and the spot on her leg. Turns out, it isn't a birth mark...Before he replied, he asked, "Is that the only one?" I told him as far as we knew and it popped up a few weeks ago. He said it was there when she was born, but it is just now noticeable because pigment in her skin. Apparently, if there are a few, it is tuberous sclerosis and it is dangerous. He didn't go into detail, but he did say you don't want that. Like any curious and concerned parent, I researched "ash leaf spot" so I could learn more about what my daughter has.
